The doctor asked me how many drinks i have in a week. Had to do some soft math to give him an answer that didn't make me sound like an alcoholic.

A mélange or rojak of the best math methodologies and pedagogies from the East and the West, which has given local students in the “fine” city of Singapore an asymmetric or unfair advantage over their peers overseas—when even their weaker students fare better than the global average.
Singapore Math has sprung up a cottage industry in math education, as millions of homeschoolers worldwide realized that wallet-friendly, brain-unfriendly math titles have helped their children hone their problem-solving skills.

Also known as the numerology of Taylor Swift, which revolves around the number 13. From Taylor’s birthdate to her flight from Tokyo to Super Bowl 58 (5 + 8 = 13)—a trip that would take her approximately 13 hours—to attend her 13th NFL game this season, which is taking place on February 11 (2 + 11 = 13) with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the San Francisco 49ers (4 + 9 = 13). Also, adding her ubiquitous 13 to her boyfriend Travis’s #87 Chiefs’ jersey yields the perfect score 100.
Swiftie math provides math teachers worldwide a golden opportunity to expose millions of oft-math-anxious students-Swifties to the pseudoscience of numbers.

Like the democratization of music, the democratization of Singapore math ought to force math educators in the city-state to embrace the courage imperative, by turning barriers into breakthroughs, or obstacles into opportunities, if they want to maintain an asymmetric advantage over their counterparts in other high GDP economies.
