Introduction
The Singapore math method is a highly effective teaching approach originally developed by Singapore’s Ministry of Education for Singapore public schools. The method has been widely adopted in various forms around the world over the past twenty years following our introduction of the curriculum to the U.S. in 1998.
新加坡的基础数学教育特点是“中西合璧”,既注重数学意识培养,更加关注教学方法,重视数学应用。具体表现在注重数学与日常生活的联系,教授解题思路而不是套用公式。新加坡一直奉行的是精英教育的理念,就是要给有天赋的孩子最好的教育。
