At Logicus, our first-grade Conceptual Analytical Mathematics (CAM) curriculum exposes students to foundational mathematical concepts inspired by the best practices of Singapore and Russian Math curriculums: Specific Topics Covered: Introduction to Algebraic Equations: Students will be introduced to the concept of balance and equality, forming the foundation for equation solving and algebra. They will start by interpreting and creating number sentences using the equal sign correctly. For instance, understanding that in a correct equation, the amount on one side of the equal sign must be the same as the amount on the other side. Process Skills in Problem Solving : Students will develop competency in thinking skills and problem solving heuristics through meaningful and challenging activities such as Make a Systematic List, Visualization, Before-After Concept, Guess and Check, Replacement Concept, Look For A Pattern (Numbers and Shapes), Draw a Diagram. Expanded Addition and Subtraction : We'll cover adding and subtracting numbers using visualization and mental arithmetic techniques inspired by Singapore Math and Russian Math's focus on a deep comprehension of mathematical operations such as Part-Whole Model Diagram, More/Less Than Concept, Before/After Concept, Difference Concept, Internal Transfer Concept. Number Sense and Place Value: A deeper understanding of numbers, including place value up to hundreds, and advanced operations (addition and subtraction within 100, introduction to multiplication and division). Geometry and Spatial Sense: More complex shape recognition and naming, understanding symmetry, and introducing the concept of area and perimeter. Measurement: Reading clocks, calendars, understanding units of length, weight, and volume, and introduction to temperature. Data Handling: Representing data in bar graphs, pictographs, and basic analysis of collected data. Algebraic Thinking: Understanding more complex patterns, solving simple equations, and introduction to variables. Through CAM, we ensure students build a solid mathematical foundation while nurturing their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. The program consists of a 75-minute class each week for the academic year.
