Math in Focus

US adaptation by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt of the Singapore My Pals Are Here curriculum, using concrete-pictorial-abstract progression and bar modeling.

About

Math in Focus is Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's US edition of the My Pals Are Here mathematics series used in Singaporean schools. The curriculum follows the Singapore concrete-pictorial-abstract progression and emphasizes bar-model problem solving, number bonds, and conceptual depth over breadth. Each grade includes student textbooks, workbooks, and a teacher edition; optional digital resources are available. Math in Focus is commonly chosen by homeschoolers who want Singapore-style pedagogy in a fully US-aligned package with standards-based scope and sequence.
