Singapore Math

As parents, we want them to be successful in school and in life. And one of the best ways to ensure their success is to give them a strong foundation in math.

What is Singapore Math?

Singapore math is a teaching method that was developed in the 1980s in Singapore. It is based on the premise that students learn best by doing and solving problems, rather than being taught passively. The Singapore math curriculum is widely recognized as being one of the most effective in the world. In 2012, a study by the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) found that Singapore had the highest average mathematics scores in the world.

C

(Concrete)

We introduce math concepts in a tangible way. We build up students’ number sense by using mathematics teaching materials, which benefit their further mathematics study.

P

(Pictorial)

We guide our students to visualize mathematics problems. In this way, students can understand the inner logic of every math problem, which will prepare them for abstract thinking.

A

(Abstract)

We teach our students to simplify complicated mathematics problems into graphics so students can understand the known, the unknown and the discreet relationships under a given situation.

How is Singapore Math Different from Traditional Math?

1. Singapore math emphasizes mastery of a small number of key concepts and skills, rather than providing students with a large amount of information to memorize. This approach allows students to develop a deep understanding of the material, which is essential for success in mathematics.

2. Another key difference is the way in which Singapore math presents information. Traditional math instruction often relies on rote memorization and drills, while Singapore math makes use of visual aids and other methods to help students understand the concepts being taught. This hands-on approach has been shown to be more effective in helping students learn and retain mathematical knowledge.

3. Singapore math place a strong emphasis on problem-solving skills. Students are regularly given opportunities to practice solving problems, both in class and through homework assignments. This helps them to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in mathematics.
