The Singapore math method was developed by Singapore's Ministry of Education and implemented across the country's public school system in the 1980s.
Some of the key features of Singapore math include concrete/pictorial/abstract progression, number bonds, bar modeling and mental math.
Students who are the most successful with Singapore Math include those who:
- are visual learners.
- like to start at the conceptual level.
- enjoy creative problem-solving.
- are logical.
- tend to be independent thinkers.
Singapore Math might not be the best fit for students who need repetition, prefer a straight-forward approach, get distracted by images, prefer to stick to one strategy and tend to process things in a set sequential way.
