    SINGAPOREAN MATH

    Prepared by: Alexandra Gem S. Diña


    WHAT IS SINGAPORE MATH?
    INTRODUCTION
    THE SINGAPORE MATH METHOD IS A HIGHLY
    EFFECTIVE TEACHING APPROACH ORIGINALLY
    DEVELOPED BY SINGAPORE’S MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
    IN THE 1980S FOR SINGAPORE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

    THE METHOD HAS BEEN WIDELY ADOPTED IN VARIOUS


    FORMS AROUND THE WORLD OVER THE PAST TWENTY
    YEARS FOLLOWING OUR INTRODUCTION OF THE
    CURRICULUM TO THE U.S. IN 1998.
    PROVEN RESULTS
    • Singapore consistently ranks at the top in
    international math testing. The
    intentional progression of concepts in
    the Singapore math approach instills a
    deep understanding of mathematics.
    • Two international tests, the TIMSS
    (Trends in International Mathematics
    and Science Study) and the PISA
    (Programme for International Student
    Assessment), assess math and science
    competency in countries around the
    world. Singapore students consistently
    rank among the top on both tests. 
    THE METHOD
    • The Singapore math method is focused on mastery, which is achieved through intentional sequencing of
    concepts.

    Some of the key features of the approach include the CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) progression,
    number bonds, bar modeling, and mental math.

    Instead of pushing through rote memorization, students learn to think mathematically and rely on the depth
    of knowledge gained in previous lessons.
    • An attitude that math is important and approachable is also essential. Students perform at a higher level
    when their potential for understanding and success is assumed.
    • In typical U.S. math programs, students get a worked example, then solve problems that very closely follow
    that example, repeating all the same steps with different numbers. In Singapore math, students must think
    through concepts and apply them in new ways from the very start. Since they can’t rely on simple
    replication, students are pushed to greater engagement and broader thinking. In U.S. math programs,
    concepts and skills are more compartmentalized within and across grade levels than in Singapore math,
    where a strong sense of connectivity to past learning is woven throughout.
    • Singapore math not only helps students become more successful problem solvers, it helps them gain a sense
    of confidence and resourcefulness because it insists on conceptual depth. This naturally prepares students to
    excel in more advanced math.
    KEY FEATURES
    • CPA (Concrete Pictorial Abstract)
    Approach: Introduces concepts in a tangible
    way and progresses to increasing levels of
    abstraction. 
    • Number Bonds: Shows the part-whole
    relationship between numbers. 
    • Bar Modeling: Helps students visualize a
    range of math concepts, such as fractions,
    ratios, and percentages. Allows students to
    determine the knowns and unknowns in a
    given situation. 
    • Mental Math: Helps students develop
    number sense and flexibility in thinking
    about numbers. 
    We started Singapore Math Inc. because we
    thought everyone should have access to this
    effective teaching approach. All of our programs
    preserve the techniques, sequencing, and rigor
    that define Singapore math. We continue to
    provide the original curriculum that put
    Singapore math on the map, while evolving the
    Singapore math approach through new series to
    better serve today’s students and educators.
