“Upon separation from Malaysia in 1965, Singapore was faced with … high levels of unemployment and poverty. 70% of Singapore’s households lived in badly overcrowded conditions, and a third of its people squatted in slums on the city fringes. Unemployment averaged 14%, GDP per capita was less than $2,700, and half of the population was illiterate. “
In the 1970’s, Singapore needed a way to help students, most of whom were not performing well in mathematics, learn mathematics. CPA Approach based on Bruner’s work and a host of other learning theories were used to help students learn. Today, many people refer to this approach as Singapore Math.
| Ministry of Education, Singapore (1991, 2000, 2006, 2012)
Mathematics is “an excellent vehicle for the development and improvement of a
person’s intellectual competence”.
