Addition Facts Table - 1st grade?

When is an addition facts table introduced in Singapore Math? I saw one in a 1st grade store bought workbook.

I know dd would not be able to follow one of those because of her visual problems. That would be confusing to her. I just wondered if that is something Primary Math eventually uses? I did not see it in 1A or 1B. It just shows the difference in curriculum. I guess that is something we don't need to implement in 1st grade. I definitely like the idea of manipulatives better.

I haven't seen math facts introduced at all in Singapore (we're at the end of 2A). I think it's something we need to do on our own. I'm planning on just doing flashcards this summer with my older ds....probably addition, subtraction, and
maybe multiplication.

I was referring to a graph or grid with facts forming a pattern vertically and horizontally. I saw one of those in a first grade workbook, but I don't intend to go there. I was just surprised to see it in a first grade book, after reading the discussions on this board regarding math facts.

It will be a long time before dd could follow something like that.

I am liking Singapore more and more. Another good choice from HOD.

Oh sorry, I misread your post. I thought you were referring to math facts in general. I can't recall seeing a table of any kind thus far, but maybe I'm just not remembring... Hopefully someone else will chime in.
