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.

Get the Singapore Girl Band? mug.When both local and foreign math publishers in Singapore—with the backing of government-linked businesses or organizations, and positive feedback from thousands of homeschoolers overseas—aim to influence or impose their ways of teaching and learning elementary school math around the world—they desire to grow in power and profits to an eager global audience that is keen to emulate Singapore’s math success at home.
Just as the principles of McDonaldization has been applied to the church and religion, mathepreneurs aren’t shy to apply the grobalization of Singapore math to colonize math education around the globe.
