When you can’t be a spectator vis-à-vis the world’s most disliked school subject, but you need to be a player to master it—reading or listening about math won’t make you fluent in the subject, but doing math will.
Like Christianity, math is a verb. Just like you can’t impact lives if you merely know about Jesus and His teachings, so reading pop math books without dirtying your hands is unlikely going to raise your quantitative literacy in meeting the technological challenges of the 21st century.

A kind of alien math from a rebel island that was once part of Malaysia, where they learn and teach math word problems in a local dialect called Singlish, using rectangles, lines, and dotted lines, which the people there call “bar models,” with most of them looking arguably ugly.
Local teachers told an Englishman that Singapori Math is a rojak or mélange of methodologies and pedagogies, with ingredients from both the East and the West—when the island was trying to solve its population’s high innumeracy rate in the seventies.
