What is Singapore Math?
The world's most effective math curriculum, consistently producing top-performing students through a focus on deep conceptual understanding and problem-solving
A Revolutionary Approach to Math Education
Singapore Math is a teaching method based on the national mathematics curriculum of Singapore, which has consistently ranked at the top of international assessments like TIMSS and PISA.
Developed in the 1980s, this approach transformed Singapore from a country with mediocre math performance to one that produces the world's top math students. Today, it's used in over 60 countries and has been adopted by leading schools worldwide.
The key to Singapore Math's success is its focus on mastery rather than memorization. Students don't just learn procedures—they understand why math works the way it does.
Key Principles
Why Singapore Math Works
The research-backed principles that make Singapore Math the gold standard in mathematics education
Focus on Mastery
Students spend more time on fewer topics, ensuring deep understanding before moving on.
Visual Learning
The CPA approach makes abstract concepts concrete and accessible to all learners.
Problem-Solving First
Students learn to think critically and apply math to real-world situations.
Global Success
Used by over 60 countries and proven to produce top-performing students.
The Bar Model Method
One of Singapore Math's most powerful tools, the bar model method helps students visualize complex word problems and understand the relationships between quantities
Example 1
Problem:
Tom has 24 apples. He gives away 8 apples. How many apples does Tom have left?
Bar Model Approach:
Students draw a bar representing 24, divide it to show 8 given away, and see the remaining 16 visually.
Example 2
Problem:
There are 3 times as many girls as boys in a class. If there are 12 boys, how many students are there?
Bar Model Approach:
Students draw bars showing the ratio relationship, making the multiplicative structure visible.
