EVERY CHILD COUNTS
CountAble began in Feb 2019 as a sister programme of ReadAble, which carries our philosophy. CountAble focuses on improving children’s numeracy skills to equip them with the tools to learn Mathematics effectively in school. We believe that building strong foundations in literacy and numeracy is a small but essential first step in helping children from underprivileged families forge a path towards a better future.
CountAble provides strong grounding in numeracy through lively, engaging, and highly effective methods, starting from the pre-school and lower primary levels. Our hope is that having a good foundation in Mathematics from a young age will set children on the path of understanding more complex concepts in the future.
THE COUNTABLE METHOD
CountAble adopts the philosophy of learning through play. Our syllabus is developed by experienced and internationally-recognised educators well-versed in teaching Mathematics at the preschool and primary level.
We follow a C-P-A model of learning. Children are exposed to the concepts in Concrete (C) form first (e.g. physical objects, toys), before moving to the Pictorial (P), and finally the Abstract (A), such as the use of symbols to represent numbers or operations. This enables the children to understand that every symbol represents real objects, and are not imaginary concepts with no basis in reality.
