Program content will be 100% aligned to Canadian curriculum and developed using the Concrete Pictorial-Abstract Approach,which allows students to master math concepts,develop critical thinking,and strengthen problem-solving skills. The program will include a robust offering of Student and Teacher Resources,including an online centre,virtual manipulatives,and games that provide hands-on experiences,fostering positive attitudes towards math.

"Singapore Math® has a global track record of improving student achievement and has contributed to Singapore students' outstanding performance in mathematics over the past 20 years," said Peng Yim Siew,CEO Times Publishing Group,"and we are excited by the opportunity to exclusively partner with NELSON to create a new custom offering that addresses many of the math challenges faced by Canadian educators and students."

The My Math Path program will also include professional development for educators,with structured support and tools that empower them for classroom implementation and give them the ability to meet the learning needs of each of their students.

"The collaborative efforts between NELSON's product team and MCE will facilitate a progressive roll-out of this national Grades 1-8 math program for the upcoming school year," said Brown,"complementing NELSON's existing math offering,to ensure that students and educators have access to a comprehensive resource portfolio to boost confidence and mathematical understanding across our country."
