The Half-Life of Singapore Math

The time it takes for the bar model method, the heart and soul of Singapore math, to become a common feature in most math curriculums around the world, which implicitly means that it no longer holds the competitive edge over other developed nations in math education.

With pirates from both developing and developed countries leveraging on AI, the half-life of Singapore math is getting exponentially shorter, and the “fine” city of Singapore risks being innovated away if local math educators don’t act now.

Eye and a half

One and a half eyes is two eyes that are close enough together that you can't tell if the person has one eye or two full eyes.

That guy did outsmoke you every time you got high with him, but he ended up permanently cross eyed, with about an eye and a half.
