The in-person version of this class, run by Eugene Sokolovskiy, is now available for third-fourth graders, as well as for fifth-sixth graders. This course is based on the Singapore Math System.
The Singapore Math System is a highly effective teaching approach that was originally developed for the Singapore public school system and has since been adopted by advanced math programs across the US. We have had huge success with the Singapore Math System curriculum because the method teaches students a deep mastery of the subject through carefully calculated foundational learning, where each grade level serves as a building block. Unlike many models that stress rule memorization, the Singapore Math System relies heavily upon logical explanations and digging deep into roots of reason. We will be a using challenging curriculum that put Singapore at the top of international math tests. It includes CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) progression, number bonds, bar modeling, and a strong focus on mental math. At ICA we believe it is important to introduce students to a wide range of creative problems that will develop their logic and imagination, and our aim is always to bedazzle young students with challenging problems. The ultimate goal of the educational process is to make students think about things. Homework is required for this course as a way for students to reinforce what they learned in class.
