Math in Focus (Singapore Math) The program is based on building strong conceptual understanding of WHY they are doing something, versus rote memorization of an algorithm or process. The goal is for students to apply skills that they have learned. Also, the program builds a sense of logic and number sense. The children will be able to share why and how they came up with an answer.
