Fight-or-Flight Math

When it is humanly understandable to give up instead of persevering when faced with a false start or failure in solving a math problem—when the pain-and-gain mindset is often missing among struggling or frustrated students, who mistakenly thought that only those blessed or born with the “mathematical gene” could do math.

Fight-or-flight math makes it hard for us to think clearly, logically, and reflexively. Let not negative emotions take control of our reactions.

The Trumpification of Singapore Math

When uninhibited math educators in the “fine” city of Singapore have started posing word problems that use rogue characters who exhibit the idiocies and idiosyncrasies of Mr. Pinocchio and his team of morally corrupt lawmakers and semi-innumerate advisors.

The Trumpification of Singapore math has sprung a dozen-odd politically incorrect titles that aim to hone students’ and parents’ critical thinking skills in mathematics.

The Bitcoinization of Singapore Math

When Bitcoin becomes not only the currency of choice among math educators and homeschoolers worldwide when ordering math books from the “fine” city online, but is also popular among an increasing number of local math authors who prefer their royalty to be paid in crypto.

The bitcoinization of Singapore math has propelled the city-state to lead the way in blockchain technology and math education, much to the envy of math educators around the globe.

Critical Theory of Mathematics

The application of Critical Theory to mathematics—examining how mathematical knowledge is constructed, how it's used, and how it reflects and reinforces power. Critical Theory of Mathematics asks: Is mathematics universal, or is it culturally specific? How has mathematics been used to justify racism (intelligence testing), colonialism (surveying), and exploitation (algorithmic oppression)? Who gets to be a mathematician, and who's excluded? Drawing on ethnomathematics, critical math education, and postcolonial theory, it insists that mathematics is never just numbers—it's a human activity, shaped by history, culture, and power.

"Math is universal, they say. Critical Theory of Mathematics asks: universal for whom? Developed where? The math taught in schools is one tradition among many—and it's been used to measure skulls, justify eugenics, design weapons. Math isn't neutral; it's a tool. Critical theory insists on asking: who uses this tool, and for what?"

The Calendarization of Singapore Math

When Grades 1–6 math questions from the “fine” city of Singapore are creatively or subtly presented on a printed, friendly, colorful calendar rather than through traditional channels like boring textbooks and workbooks, a change of platform often works wonders for math-anxious kids and their parents.

Social media and e-learning platforms are often hyped by publishing houses to market their math products, whereas the calendarization of Singapore Math could be a more effective and cheaper vehicle for raising numeracy in the general public.
