Math for All (Grades 1 to 6)

Textbook Series Description

Inspired by the Singaporean model, Math for All is an activity-based preparatory and elementary mathematics series designed to address the various needs of the diff erent learners and take the K to 12 Mathematics Curriculum a step further. It’s guided by the principle that mathematics can be enjoyed and learned by all pupils by tapping into their creativity and multiple intelligences and by developing their critical thinking skills.

The Math for All series uses the concrete-to-abstract approach in its presentation of mathematical concepts (concrete>pictorial>abstract.) It integrates action songs, fi nger play, rhymes, art projects, games, refl ections, and outdoor activities in the lesson so as to enhance the learner’s multiple intelligences. The series emphasizes not only a hands-on approach, like working or experiencing, but also a thinking approach, like creative problem solving and refl ecting. Nonroutine questions and investigations are provided to develop the learner’s high-order thinking skills. Likewise, enrichment lessons are included for more advanced learners.
