Singapore’s math curriculum has been recognized worldwide for its excellence in producing students highly skilled in mathematics. Students in Singapore regularly rank at the top of the world in mathematics on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).
The Singapore Math curriculum aims to help students develop necessary concepts and skills for everyday life and to provide students with the ability to formulate, apply, and solve problems. The Singapore Primary (Elementary) Mathematics curriculum covers fewer topics, but in greater depth. Key concepts are introduced and built-on to reinforce mathematical ideas and thinking. Skills are typically taught a full year ahead of when similar skills are taught in the United States.
