This book is written based on the pedagogies of Singapore Maths and Maria Montesorri and uses the following ways to introduce mathematics to children in preschool and kindergarten:

1. A concrete approach: Through the handling of concrete elements such as cards and cubes, your child will develop an awareness of concepts such as numbers, quantities, patterns and measurement.

2. A visual approach: Models, visual representations and the use of manipulatives introduce numbers and mathematical situations in a visual way that will help your child transit to understanding abstract mathematical operations.

Through this book, your child will:

• Discover each new concept through hands-on activities that promote mathematical reasoning and thinking

• Engage in problem-solving through handling maths manipulatives and other concrete objects

• Consolidate understanding through simple exercises
