                                                       Let’s Start! Maths


                                                       Let’s Start! Maths is a robust series, which uses effective
                                                       learning and teaching methodologies in order to smoothly ease
                                                       primary learners into the exciting world of maths. Aimed at the
                                                       development of problem-solving skills in young learners, the
                                                       series introduces a variety of word problems to challenge them.
                                                       The main goal of the series is the improvement of students’
                                                       deductive skills in order to help them achieve mathematical
                                                       proficiency.

                                                       The six-level curriculum of Let’s Start! Maths is based mainly
                                                       on the Singapore Maths method and follows international
                                                       standards. The series adopts the model drawing approach
                                                       which helps students develop a wide range of problem-solving
                                                       strategies. Let’s Start! Maths encourages students’ creative
                                                       and critical thinking and enables them to develop basic
                                                       mathematical skills such as analysing, reasoning and justifying,
                                                       making good use of the three-step transition ‘concrete–
                                                       pictorial–abstract’ which is crucial to the Singapore Maths
                                                       method.
