Why do we promote the Singapore math system
We advocate for the Singapore math system because this math system teaches a model approach (visual representation of the given information) to the solution of the multi-step word problems. In addition to the model approach, it employs many other carefully crafted strategies such as supposition and restate and replace, systematic listing, all targeting the same goal: teach children to think spatially and logically at very early ages.
What math resources do we use
Challenging Word problems series of books, Brain Math volume 1, Beast Academy series of practice books, Unleash Math Olympian in You, beginner’s level.
How do we engage students in the process of learning
We encourage children to make sense of problems, to persevere in solving them, to reason abstractly and quantitatively, we also engage them in a group discussion and in a critique of the reasoning of others.

This is a class for students who have thoroughly mastered addition and subtraction of numbers to 40 using vertical algorithms, as well as using mental calculation strategies. Students must know the multiplication table up to 5 and related division facts, have basic understanding of fractions and be able to solve simple word problems including problems which involve multiplication and division.
We will continue on with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, paying special attention to mental calculation as well as we develop a deeper understanding of the place values. We will also learn how to find a number given a sum and a difference of two numbers and how to make a whole with fractions (with like denominators). We will learn how to solve problems with money, time and time intervals and other units of time.

Curriculum
Students will move further into the topic of fractions, including adding and subtracting mixed numbers with different denominators. Fraction multiplication will be introduced. There will be many word problems requiring an understanding of these fraction concepts. Long division and multiplication will now include 3, and 4-digit numbers, and prime factorization and divisibility rules will be studied. The second semester will see the introduction of decimals and how they relate to fractions. Geometry will be developed further, with more complex problems on area and perimeter, and now the volume of cubes and cuboids. Along with the heavy arithmetic program, students will study exciting topics to prepare them for Math Olympiads, which they’ll start taking this year for the first time. Topics like set theory, probability, logic, and combinatorics will be taught – if taught at an age-appropriate level, young kids can do these things.
Prerequisites
Students should have a strong mastery of arithmetic through 3rd grade to succeed in this class. They must be able to add and subtract 4-digit numbers with “borrowing,” to multiply and divide a 3-digit by a 1-digit number, and an understanding of fractions as an equal part of the whole, along with equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator, and basic notions of perimeter, area, and angles.

Students will now move into proper Algebra, deepening the topics they learned in Prealgebra – distributing will now be done with fractions and negatives, exponents will be continued, and they will learn how to set up and solve harder linear equations. Inequalities and absolute value will be studied. Many word problems involve rate, ratio, percentage, and speed, i.e.,
topics from prealgebra will be studied. The slope of a line, parallel and perpendicular lines and the equation of a line will be developed. Equations, as they relate to the shape of a graph will be studied.
Prerequisites:
To be accepted to this class students must have a deep understanding of the topics of fractions, decimals, percentage, ratio, rate, and distance-speed-time problems and be able to solve difficult word problems on these topics.
In addition students must have command of the topics of PreAlgebra, including integers (+, - x, and dividing); simple exponents, distributing and then combining like terms, absolute values, algebraic substitution, and be able to turn a verbal phrase into an algebraic expression or equation and solve it. They should know how to form and solve a simple linear equation.
They must have some basic geometry, e.g. area of triangles and composite shapes, angles of a triangle, and quadrilateral.
