The Amazonification of Singapore Math

When writers-mathepreneurs keen on leveraging on the Singapore math brand are ever grateful to Amazon’s print-on-demand services, which allows them to self-publish their oft-half-edited manuscripts, which were rejected by 99.99% of educational publishers.
The Amazonification of Singapore math and the low interest or investment in AI technologies have led some once-leading publishers to drop from hero to zero until it’s too late for them to do anything.

The Half-Life of Singapore Math

The time it takes for the bar model method, the heart and soul of Singapore math, to become a common feature in most math curriculums around the world, which implicitly means that it no longer holds the competitive edge over other developed nations in math education.
With pirates from both developing and developed countries leveraging on AI, the half-life of Singapore math is getting exponentially shorter, and the “fine” city of Singapore risks being innovated away if local math educators don’t act now.

The Uberization of Singapore Math

When students, teachers, and homeschoolers could access affordable or quasi-free quality grades K–12 math resources based on the math curriculum from the “fine” city of Singapore, by bypassing traditional channels of distribution or mercenary middlepersons.
Thanks to print on demand (POD), the Uberization of Singapore math has significantly leveled the playing field for self-published authors and small publishers, as they needn’t rent a warehouse to store their books and rely on cut-throat distributors and bookstores to sell their titles.

The Muskification of Singapore Math

When publishing houses in the “fine” city of Singapore give their oft-half-baked editorial staff and their semi-inept bosses an ultimatum: commit to high-quality publishing (with limited or quasi-zero resources) and willingness to go the extra (second) mile and helping the company to achieve exponential profitability.
In the Muskification of Singapore math exercise, some morally bankrupt managing editors and publishing managers have further slashed the already-low budget for proofreaders, reviewers, and consultants—editors and writers are expected to wear multiple hats while producing wallet-happy titles.
