Mastery of 6 Fundamental Learning Areas

Would you like your child to master these concepts and acquire these skills
​before starting Primary School?

Kuno Method helps children acquire a deep understanding of concepts organised in 6 fundamental learning areas, which they can build on for acquisition of more advanced knowledge later on.

1) Logical Thinking (Comparison, Order & Measurement)
2) Thinking & Reasoning with Space (Spatial Recognition)
3) Thinking & Reasoning with Numbers (Numbers & Operations)
4) Thinking & Reasoning with Shapes (Geometry)
5) Thinking & Reasoning with Words (Language & Effective Communication)
6) IQ and Cognitive Development (Critical Thinking | Memory | Science & General Knowledge | Fine Motor Skills)
​
It sets a solid foundation for children before they progress to primary school.

Spiral Progression over 6 Terms in a Year
Skills and concepts will be taught, revised and revisited at increasing levels of difficulty and sophistication. This will allow children to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of logical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving.

Read Straits Times Feature on why exposure to these 6 learning areas is important

Logical Thinking
(Comparison, Order​ & Measurement)

• ​Comparing helps a child identify a relationship between the objects in terms of attributes such as size, weight, length and volume.

• ​Ordering helps a child learn logic (such as sequence of events in a story) which goes beyond numeracy.

​

• Comparing and Ordering sets the foundation for formal learning on Measurement.

Thinking & Reasoning with Numbers
(Numbers & Operations)

• ​A child with strong number sense understands the relationship between quantities and numbers​

• ​This lays the foundation for understanding concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division​

• Develop critical thinking skills for solving word problems

Thinking & Reasoning with Space
(Spatial Recognition)

• Up-down, left-right, grid positions, movement and orientation of objects on maps

• 2D, 3D perception

• Understand that the same object may look different when viewed from different perspectives 

• Strong visualisation and imaging ability

• ​A child who understands spatial relationships will be able to work out complex puzzles.

Thinking & Reasoning with Shapes
(Geometry)

• ​​2-D shapes, 3-D shapes, symmetry, systematic counting of shapes in geometric puzzle  

• A child learns about basic shapes and develop the power of visualisation through manipulating shapes in their mind

• Mastery of geometry also helps develop advanced mathematical concepts like multiplication and division​

• Sharpen observation and logical thinking skills 

Thinking & Reasoning with Words
(Language & Effective Communication)

• Key words to articulate concepts learnt precisely in English, verbal reasoning practice

• Achieve clarity of thought through articulation of concepts learnt in a child’s own words

​

• ​A child develops listening and public speaking skills, which leads to an internalisation of courtesy, empathy and self-confidence  into his/her personality

IQ and Cognitive Development

• Psychomotor skills, social skills, reasoning skills, pattern recognition, memory, thinking out of the box, science, general knowledge

• All learning starts from knowing the attributes of things and understanding the interaction between things​

​

• ​Science-related exercises get a child excited about learning and finding answers in the real world
