    The purpose of this research is to determine the contribution of the Singapore method in the learning of mathematics in sixth grade students of the Pujilí Educational Unit. The methodology used was based on a pre-experimental design with pre-test and posttest in a single group, a mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative), a scope at the application level and under the bibliographic and field modalities; a non-probabilistic intentional sampling was used, selecting a sixth grade parallel, with a sample of 33 students and 1 teacher; In the data collection, an interview with the teacher of the area was applied, as well as a survey, a pretest and a posttest to the students; an interview script and questionnaires were used and these were the basis for the techniques applied. The results of the interview revealed that the teacher bases his teaching mainly on the problem solving method and the ERCA learning process and complements them with group activities and games to encourage student participation; in the survey and pretest applied to the students with an average of 3.17 in the pretest it is evidenced significant deficiencies in the level of mathematical knowledge of the students, which, according to the data collected from the survey, these difficulties are due to the fact that sometimes the teacher uses manipulative material or games for teaching. Then, the post-test reflected a remarkable increase in the students' performance, with an average of 7.70, which represents an improvement of 4.53 points compared to the initial evaluation. By means of the normality test, the use of the Wilcoxon statistic was determined to test the hypothesis: the Singapore method contributes significantly to the learning of mathematics in sixth grade students at the Pujilí Educational Unit. The main conclusion showed that this method is effective in improving students' academic performance and strengthening mathematical understanding through concrete, pictorial and abstract representations.
