Made-in-Singapore Math

When exam-smart students have near-zero choice but to regurgitate the model solutions promoted by their teachers or tutors, because there is hardly any time for them to think through most brain-unfriendly questions if they want to score a decent grade, much less question the questions.
With so many topics to cover and so little time to master the concepts, teachers and parents have come to terms that the only way for students to minimize failure and to maximize success is to reluctantly embrace made-in-Singapore math.

The Sanitization of Singapore Math

When fertile or fitting real-life or contextual questions and math tidbits or humor in a math textbook, submitted to Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) for approval, are often rejected for politically incorrect reasons, or because the items could potentially be perceived to be linked to politics, race, religion, or sex.
Items like “Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not divide by zero!” and phrases like “beautiful curves,” “immoral algebra,” and “juicy little theorem” are banned without being given valid reasons—aren’t these rejections part of the sanitization of Singapore math to only publish sterilized or sterile contents to satisfy the mathematical wants of a humorously or prudishly challenged audience or readership?

Make US Math Singapore Math

When math educators in America are pushing for their states and schools to embrace the Singapore math curriculum, or part of it, to raise the mathematical proficiency of their students—Singapore is often touted as a model for quality math education that is achievable via wallet-friendly good-quality textbooks.
Trump’s white “patriots” and diehard blue-collar supporters in red states are against the “Make US Math Singapore Math” slogan, as they’re allergic to any form of alien math infiltrating their local schools.

4G Singapore Math

Short for fourth generation math syllabus change in Singapore, since the Y2K bug. The Ministry of Education (MOE) is reverting to its old ways of controllably and uncompetitively writing its own elementary math content, instead of outsourcing the task to publishers.
Singapore’s MOE’s rationale to have an open tender in the late nineties was to allow the public to have a choice of “quality” textbooks from both local and foreign publishers, but with 4G Singapore math unfolding, teachers and parents will soon be left with zero choices.
