Countries around the world first became interested in
Singapore's math approach when results of the Third International Math and
Science Study (TIMSS) were published in 1995. Conducted by the International
Study Center at Boston College, achievement tests in both math and science were
administered to students in over 40 countries. Students from Singapore ranked
highly in mathematics achievement: 1st in the fourth, seventh, and eighth grade
levels and 2nd at the third grade level. Results for the U.S. were disappointing:
10th in the third grade, 11th in the fourth grade, 23rd in the seventh grade,
and 27th at the eighth grade level. In a follow-up study in 1999, Singapore
again ranked 1st in eighth grade math achievement while U.S. eighth graders
ranked 19th. These results indicated that something about Singapore's math
program was working. Thirty years later, there are multiple editions of Singapore Math curriculum available in the U.S., each is based on a Singapore
Ministry of Education syllabus.
We offer several Singapore Math programs available for homeschoolers or adapted for home use:
Primary
Math US/Standards Edition/Common Core Editions: Grades 1-6
