The Singapore Math Framework — What Makes Dimensions Math Different
Before diving into grade-level content, understand the philosophy and structure that makes Singapore math so effective. This module covers the CPA progression, number sense principles, and how to navigate the Dimensions Math materials.
- 1.1The Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) Progression ExplainedIncluded
- 1.2How to Use the Dimensions Math Teacher's Guides, Textbooks, and Workbooks TogetherIncluded
- 1.3Number Sense as the Foundation: What It Is and How to Build ItIncluded
Pre-K & Kindergarten — Counting, Number Bonds, and Early Operations
Explore the Pre-K and Kindergarten Dimensions Math levels in depth: counting with meaning, composing and decomposing numbers to 10, introduction to number bonds, and early addition and subtraction.
- 2.1Counting with Meaning: One-to-One Correspondence and CardinalityIncluded
- 2.2Number Bonds: The Heart of Singapore Addition and SubtractionIncluded
- 2.3Introduction to Addition and Subtraction Through Story ProblemsIncluded
Grades 1 & 2 — Place Value, Fluency, and the Bar Model Begins
Grades 1 and 2 are where place value, addition and subtraction within 100 (and then 1,000), and the first introduction to bar models take center stage. This module covers each in detail.
- 3.1Place Value with Base-Ten Blocks: Tens and Ones, Then HundredsIncluded
- 3.2Addition and Subtraction with Regrouping — the Singapore WayIncluded
- 3.3Introducing Bar Models: Part-Whole and Comparison BarsIncluded
Grades 3 & 4 — Multiplication, Division, and Fractions
The conceptual load increases significantly in Grades 3 and 4. This module covers multiplication and division through arrays and area, multi-step bar model problems, and the critical introduction of fractions.
- 4.1Multiplication and Division: Arrays, Equal Groups, and the Relationship Between ThemIncluded
- 4.2Multi-Step Bar Model Problems: When One Bar Isn't EnoughIncluded
- 4.3Fractions: From Folded Paper to the Number LineIncluded
- 4.4Long Division the Singapore Way: Understanding Before AlgorithmIncluded
Grades 5 & 6 — Ratios, Decimals, Geometry, and Algebra Readiness
The capstone years of the elementary curriculum introduce decimals, percentages, ratios, proportional reasoning, area and volume, and the beginning of algebraic thinking. This module prepares you to teach all of it.
- 5.1Decimals and Percentages: Connecting to Fractions Through ModelsIncluded
- 5.2Ratios and Proportional Reasoning with Bar ModelsIncluded
- 5.3Area, Volume, and Geometry: Visualization Before FormulaIncluded
- 5.4Bridging to Algebra: Variables, Expressions, and the Singapore Model MethodIncluded

Antonisia Sneed Baynes
Hi — I'm so glad you're here.
If you've found your way to Dimensions Math, you already know you want something better than rote memorization for your child or student. That tells me a lot about you.
I've spent years teaching math using the Singapore approach, and watching a kid go from “I hate math” to genuinely working through a hard problem with confidence — that never gets old.
I created this course because the Dimensions Math materials are genuinely excellent. But knowing how to teach them — understanding the why behind the sequencing, the CPA transitions, the logic of bar modeling — is what makes the difference between a family that struggles through the books and one that thrives with them.
Whether you're brand new to Singapore Math or looking to go deeper in your practice, I'll walk with you from the beginning. We start with counting and number bonds in Pre-K and work all the way through ratios, fractions, and geometry in Grade 6 — building every piece on a foundation that actually holds.
Let’s do this!
