Dr Lionel Mendoza & Ngo Chew Yeh

Illustrated by Chloe Ho

Maths World is a theme park where children have fun as well as learn maths. Keith and his friends, Wei Ling, Bala, and Siti visit the park and explore different areas. The first series will focus on preschool math concepts. As they visit different areas in the park, they explore geometric concepts, number concepts, sorting, and patterns, which are key components of the preschool curriculum in all countries. There are other areas such as a money area where they have a chance to learn about money and different currencies. The four children in the book represent different ethnic groups. These are the four main groups in Singapore, but they can be found in all countries. As they visit different areas there are questions they have to answer to help develop math concepts. The questions are an integral part of the book. The books introduce and develop various concepts. Also, through the questions, there is an opportunity for the child and his or her parents to see if the concept is understood. 

Book 1 introduces Math World and the four basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle). The numbers 1 – 9 and the idea of money.

Mind Journeys

Victoria Carlton

Illustrated by September 21 Enterprise Pte Ltd

Mind Journeys is exactly what the name implies. It is the process of leading children through journeys of the mind to improve their ability to visualise, imagine, comprehend, concentrate and write coherently and creatively.
We find that the regular use of visualisations enhances concentration and ability to focus. This increased concentration leads to deeper comprehension as the children formulate images and manage to thoughtfully consider information related to the topics they are learning.
