Singapore Math Drills: Grades 1–10 Practice Built on the Singapore Method Singapore consistently ranks among the top performers in international math assessments like TIMSS and PISA, using a syllabus built on understanding a problem before solving it — not memorizing steps. This app brings that method to Grades 1–10 (ages 6 through 16): structured, adaptive, stress-free practice that builds number sense and problem-solving skill. WHY SINGAPORE MATH DRILLS? • Singapore MOE-aligned practice spans Grades 1–10, with selected G3 topics in Secondary 2–4. G3 Mathematics — Additional Mathematics is not covered yet. • Bar Models, Explained Simply — a simple picture that turns a tricky word problem into a diagram, so a child sees the relationship between numbers instead of guessing an operation. Singapore Math's signature tool, built into every relevant drill and the app's own scratch pad. • Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Teaching — every new skill starts with real objects, then a picture, then the abstract number sentence, so the "why" sticks. • Adaptive Learning — difficulty tunes itself to your child's recent sessions, and daily suggestions point straight at what needs work. • Calm Gamification — no stressful timers, high-pressure games, or dark patterns. We reward accuracy and honest progress, measured only against a child's own past results. FOR STUDENTS • Daily Drills & a Daily Five — short sessions of mental math, practice problems, and word problems, with five hand-picked drills waiting each day. • Three Practice Modes — Focus (untimed mastery), Sprint (rapid recall), and Worksheet (a full test-style set graded at the end). • Progressive Hints & Worked Solutions — every question opens up step by step, with a full worked solution to read afterwards. • Skill Map — a visual mastery breakdown across every topic, down to the exact subtopic. • Prerequisite-Aware Support — when a child gets stuck, the app folds in the missing foundation skill instead of repeating the same question type. • Build-a-Drill — pick the topics and question types and build a custom practice set. • Optional Placement Check — an adaptive quiz that suggests a starting level, available on request, never forced. • A Companion That Grows With Them — species and stage earned through consistent practice, with encouraging, never-nagging dialogue. • A Growing Collection & Daily Quests — streak and quest drops build a collection over the school year, with a daily "Up Next" queue keeping momentum. • Stars, Streaks & Levels — calm progression that rewards showing up and getting things right, never speed. FOR PARENTS • Weekly Digest — one clear weekly summary of what your child mastered and where they need focus. • Progress Reports — a verdict in plain words, not a wall of numbers, with full attempt history available to review. • Focus Areas — struggling topics surface automatically, with the foundational skill to tackle first. • Family Accounts — one parent account manages each child's independent, self-referential progress — no comparisons between siblings or classmates. Ad-free. No tracking. Nothing asked of a child but honest practice. SUBSCRIPTIONS Free to start, with optional subscriptions unlocking the full curriculum and deeper parent reporting.
