Math in Focus: The Singapore Approach is Singapore math for U.S. classrooms. It is the U.S. edition of My Pals are Here! Maths, the most widely used mathematics program in Singapore classrooms today.

The program features visual representations and modeling strategies to solve complex problems; a consistent concrete-pictorial-abstract progression; and strong development of both conceptual understanding, place value, and computational fluency so students that understand the “how” as well as the “why.”
Math in Focus has components to meet the specific needs of American students and teachers.
