What is Singapore math? Explained by a Singaporean

Singapore math isn't a textbook series. It's simply the way Singapore teaches math nationally, built on three key methods: the spiral curriculum, the concrete-pictorial-abstract (CPA) approach, and bar modeling. Singapore has ranked #1 in the world in TIMSS for nearly 30 years, and this video breaks down exactly what it is, where the term came from, and why it doesn't actually exist in Singapore. This is episode 1 of my "What is Singapore math?" mini series. *CORRECTION* In this video, I mentioned that Singapore Math Inc. started importing the curriculum materials from Singapore to the U.S. in 2001. They started the imports in 1998 and published the U.S. edition of Primary Mathematics around 2001.
