Math in Focus
Your child will be using Math in Focus: The Singapore Approach, the world-class math curriculum from Singapore adapted for U.S. classrooms based upon updated math standards.
The Math in Focus program consists of Student textbooks and Workbooks that work together. At school, your child will use the Student textbook to learn math concepts and practice extensively to develop a deeper understanding. Your child will also participate in activities or games, and discuss his or her findings in class.
Your child will be assigned pages from the Workbook to be completed as individual work. This will include:
Practice problems to reinforce math skills and concepts
Put on Your Thinking Cap!
