Kindergarten Math In Focus

Based upon the Singapore method of teaching mathematics, Math in Focus features a problem-based approach that builds on a concrete-to-pictorial-to-abstract progression. Within each grade fewer topics are taught, but at a more in-depth level; visual representations, modeling strategies, and a development of conceptual understanding, place value, and computation fluency help students to understand the "how" behind their exercises.

This set is designed to be used during the second half of the year. The teacher's guide features objectives, materials needed, and a list of page numbers; teaching instructions are provided in a step-by-step, listed format that's incredibly easy to see and read. Reduced student pages are given with the correct answers overlaid. Brightly colored pages and cheery illustrations give kids a fun atmosphere to work in.

Accompanying the Math in Focus Grade K Curriculum Series, this set of assessments is designed to help teacher's gauge students' understanding and progress. Two formats are provided: the first is a traditional paper-and-pencil style test in the same format as their daily work, while the other is in an interview style that allows for verbal and hands-on responses. Same/Different, counting, patterns, addition/subtraction, more/less and other concepts covered in the Grade K curriculum are tested. Answers are included as reduced student pages with the correct answer overlaid. A student record sheet is also included. 43 pages, paperback; tests are perforated, three-hole-punched, and reproducible.
