Teach Kids Math With Model Method

Ever tried to teach your kids math? Ever wonder how you could help your kids cope with the increasingly complicated math problems in school? Want to learn how to teach your kids to solve math problems using the Model Method widely used in Singapore Math by Singaporean Teachers, Tutors and Parents?

Singapore Math received media attention and worldwide recognition in 1995 when Singaporean students were ranked first in an international study of mathematics and science education. While many factors contributed to the success of the Mathematics curriculum in Singapore, one of the key reasons is the use of the Model Method. It is essentially a way to help students visualize and simplify a math problem in a pictorial way.

What is Model Method?

It is a method which requires kids to draw rectangular boxes to represent math values (both known or unknown values). It is widely used in the teaching of kids math in primary schools (or elementary schools if you prefer) in Singapore. Kids in Singapore are introduced to the method from as young as Primary One (the equivalent of Grade One).

This method is especially useful when:

(a) you teach kids who respond better to visual stimuli (e.g. pictures, drawings, etc)

(b) you try to provide math homework help but the conventional methods do not really work well with your kids

(c) your kids has not learnt algebra yet and solving the math problems with algebra is not an option

The Model Method essentially becomes a good entry level tool to help the kids understand and break the question down into component parts making solving and learning math a breeze.
