Supposedly there's a lot more of this in the Home Instructor's Guide / Teacher's Guide (which we hardly ever crack open ourselves). The full Singapore method is supposed to go from concrete (playing with manipulatives and such) to pictorial to abstract representations / explorations of the same topic.
