🔹Course Overview

Math in Focus is the U.S. adaptation of the Singapore Math curriculum, developed by Marshall Cavendish Education and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
It emphasizes conceptual understanding, logical reasoning, and real-world problem solving through the proven Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach.

🔹Key Features

• Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract Learning: Builds deep understanding by moving from hands-on exploration to visual models and abstract reasoning.

• Focus on Thinking and Understanding: Encourages students to understand “why,” not just “how.”

• Problem Solving as Core: Real-life contexts develop creative and critical thinking skills.

• Visual and Structured Approach: Uses bar models and visual aids to clarify complex concepts.

• Globally Recognized Curriculum: Aligns with U.S. Common Core and Cambridge International standards, adopted in schools worldwide.

🔹Who Is It For

• Students from Kindergarten to Grade 8

• Learners seeking to strengthen math reasoning and conceptual understanding

• International or bilingual school programs following Singapore or U.S. standards

🔹Course Structure

• Levels: Grade K–8 (9 levels total)

• Key components per level:

  • Numbers & Operations

  • Geometry & Measurement

  • Data & Probability

  • Problem Solving Strategies

• Includes student books, workbooks, assessments, teacher guides, and digital learning tools.

🔹课程简介

《Math in Focus》是依据**新加坡数学体系（Singapore Math）编写的国际教材，由Marshall Cavendish Education与Houghton Mifflin Harcourt联合出版。
课程以“从具体到抽象”（Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract）**的教学法为核心，强调逻辑思维、问题解决与深度理解，帮助学生真正“学会思考”，而不仅仅是“做题”。

🔹教材特色

• 新加坡教学法核心理念：通过“操作→图像→符号”三阶段学习，让学生逐步理解数学概念。

• 培养逻辑与思维能力：强调理解背后的数学原理，而非死记硬背。

• 重视问题解决（Problem Solving）：每个单元围绕真实生活情境，引导学生运用所学知识解决实际问题。

• 视觉化与结构化学习：丰富的图表与模型（如条形图法 Bar Model）帮助学生形象地分析问题。

• 国际化课程标准：与美国Common Core和剑桥国际课程接轨，广泛应用于全球百余国家。

🔹适用人群

• 小学至初中阶段学生（K–8）

• 希望系统提升数学逻辑与思维能力的学生

• 国际学校、双语学校及海外课程中心的学习者

🔹课程结构

• 分为 Grade K–8（幼儿园至八年级）共9个级别

• 每册教材包括以下模块：
  1️⃣ 数与运算（Numbers & Operations）
  2️⃣ 几何与测量（Geometry & Measurement）
  3️⃣ 数据分析（Data & Probability）
  4️⃣ 应用与问题解决（Problem Solving Strategies）

• 配套内容包括练习册、作业本、评估题、教师用书和互动数字资源。

Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world. Education is not something which the teacher does, but it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being. It is not acquired by listening to words, but by experiences in the environment.
