The Democratization of Singapore Math

When more and more countries around the globe are fast embracing the Singapore math curriculum, or part of it, so as not to be left behind educationally and economically, as they copycat or emulate the best educational practices used by local math educators and tiger parents, who have helped put the “fine” city of Singapore on the world’s math education map.

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.

Napkin Math

Napkin Math is a two-party activity occurring during dinner in which a pen and napkin are used to discuss debates or questions about math. Napkin Math is a spontaneous activity started by discussions or questions and can take anywhere from a few minutes to around an hour.

Thanks to the Napkin Math my brother and I did yesterday, I am prepared for today's math lesson.

Math in Public

Forgetting even basic arithmetic when forced to calculate in public. A situation usually exacerbated by the lack of a calculator or presence of authorities on the subject.

John had to explain his reasoning in Econ class and managed to triple the price in the example. Math in public gets real fast

Math

The art of frustration and stuff your never going to use that teachers try to shove in your brains through your ear but comes out the other side like your finger, While math class is the dungeon of misery where you go to get yelled at by the teacher because you can't find out why the hell x would equal x*y * \(' _ ')/ ?

I am i jail because I'd rather be here than do math.
