Description

Singapore’s Visible Thinking in Mathematics serves as a valuable supplement for students who need extra support in the pictorial stage of Singapore’s Concrete to Pictorial to Abstract teaching approach. This program offers step-by-step explanations and strategies to help students visualize concepts, fostering a deep understanding of problem-solving before progressing to more abstract skills. The program’s questions are designed to reinforce mastery of concepts by presenting problems with similar contexts but different wording, helping students distinguish between similar concepts. It also encourages critical thinking by prompting students to reflect on their problem-solving approaches. Visible Thinking Math 1A is specifically tailored for the first semester of Grade 1. Each chapter includes a thinking platform page that illustrates concepts through examples, with teaching notes for the teacher. This is followed by Attaining Mastery worksheet pages. Topics covered in this workbook include numbers up to 10 and 20, number bonds, addition and subtraction within 10 and 20, shapes and patterns, ordinal numbers, and picture graphs. The workbook contains consumable (non-reproducible) pages and is designed for Grade 1 students. Please note that this series exclusively uses metric measurement units.
