Why We Use Singapore Math

At Buffalo Academy, we are proud to implement the Singapore Math curriculum, a highly regarded approach that emphasizes a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. This curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in our students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) model, students first engage with hands-on materials, progressing to visual representations before mastering abstract concepts. This method ensures that our learners build a solid foundation in math, allowing them to confidently tackle more complex topics as they advance.

The Singapore Math curriculum also emphasizes mastery-based learning, encouraging students to fully grasp each concept before moving forward. Through techniques such as bar modeling and a strong focus on mental math, students develop both number sense and the ability to approach problems creatively. By choosing Buffalo Academy, families can be assured that their children are receiving a high-quality education rooted in proven strategies that prepare them for lifelong success in mathematics and beyond.
