{"product_id":"the-singapore-model-method-for-learning-mathematics","title":"The Singapore Model Method for Learning Mathematics","description":"This monograph serves as a resource book on the Model Method.\n\nThe main purpose is to make explicit how the Model Method is used to develop students' understanding of fundamental mathematics concepts and\n\nproficiency in solving basic mathematics word problems. Through the construction of a pictorial model to represent the known and unknown\n\nquantities and their relationships in a problem, students gain better understanding of the problem and develop their abilities in mathematical thinking\n\nand problem solving. This will provide a strong foundation for the learning of mathematics from the primary to secondary levels and beyond.\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis monograph also features the Mathematics Framework of the Singapore\n\nmathematics curriculum and discusses the changes that it has undergone over the past two decades.
