Kindergarten - Singapore Primary Mathematics

Primary Mathematics 2022 is math with brains and personality—ideal for homeschool families who want colorful pages, clever challenges, and a strong foundation that goes way beyond drill-and-kill. Originally designed by Singapore’s Ministry of Education, this method has earned global acclaim by helping students reason, problem-solve, and think critically from day one.

What Makes It Different

Instead of tossing facts at your child and crossing your fingers, this curriculum walks through math concept by concept, using a Concrete ➝ Pictorial ➝ Abstract (CPA) approach. That means your child will explore new skills with hands-on tools, then graduate to visual representations, and finally master them using numbers and symbols.

What’s Included

Each grade level is split into two parts—A for the first half of the year, B for the second. Student Books are bright, consumable, and designed to make math feel relevant with real-life applications and occasional STEAM projects that merge math with science and art. Add the Mastery & Beyond and Additional Practice workbooks for extra skill-building, and you’ll have practice galore for every level of learner.

You’ll lead the charge with a Home Instructor’s Guide or Teacher Guide. These scripted guides walk you through each lesson, highlight needed materials, and provide tips to help your student power through any snags. You'll also find pacing suggestions, built-in review, and visual aids to reinforce each new concept. Prefer digital? Your guide includes access to McEduHub’s online resources—think printable manipulatives, animations, interactive games, and answer keys.

About the Manipulatives

Yes, they’re helpful, and yes, there are a lot of them. In a classroom, it makes sense to have every spinner, scale, and clock under the sun. But at home? That’s a lot of stuff—and a lot of storage. That’s why Timberdoodle trims it down to just the must-haves. No need for a math supply warehouse when a handful of counters and your kitchen clock can do the trick. (High-five for resourceful parents!)

For Kindergarten, if you choose the Manipulatives Add-On, you’ll get 100 Linking Cubes and 250 Transparent Counters to help introduce early math in a fun, hands-on way. And what will your child learn? Just the foundations of counting, shapes, measurement, addition, subtraction, place value, and more—broken into tiny, doable bites across 12 units.

How It Works

Each chapter begins with a real-world math teaser to spark curiosity, then dives into guided instruction, practice together, and finally independent work. Assessment guides (available separately) offer check-ins, chapter tests, and review opportunities—no guesswork about what your student really knows.

Primary Mathematics 2022 helps your child build real math muscles while keeping frustration low. It’s thorough, well-paced, and thoughtfully designed for 1-on-1 instruction—no classroom required. Ready to show your child how fun math can be? This curriculum’s got your back.
