Singapore Mathematics focuses on the ability to visualize. For example, bar models are used extensively.

Visualization

Method 1
The positions of 11, 22, 33 are at C, H, E respectively. Positions of multiples of 11 can be located.
Method 4
The position for 99 can be found by writing out all the numbers but this is not efficient method.
Method 3
Numbers ending with 9 are at E. So, 99 is at E too.
Method 2
The positions of numbers ending with 1 and 6 can be located ta either ends. Thus 91 or 96 can be located. Subsequently, 99 can be located.

Method 1
The letters under A and I are even. So 99 cannot be there.
Method 2
The positions of numbers ending with 9 form a diagonal pattern.
Method 3
The numbers under first D increases by 8. Thus 17 + 80 = 97 is under first D. The position for 99 can be worked out.
Method 4
The positions of multiples of 8 I is definitely under A. 8 x 12 = 96 is under A. The position of 99 can be worked out.
Method 5
Numbers under V is 1 less than multiples of 4. So, 2011 (1 less than 2012) is under V. 99 is less than 100.

Method 2
The positions of numbers ending with 9 form a diagonal pattern.
In December 2010, another group of teachers in Chile who did this course also came up with a similar method.

Another Method
In a course done in December 2010 with another group of Chilean teachers, there was a method that involves division. For Cheryl it was 99 : 10. For David, it was 99 : 8. Are you able to figure out that method?

CPA Approach based on Jerome Bruner was used to learn division of fractions – using paper folding and subsequent drawing.
