Singapore Math and Kitchen Table Math


I came across this blooki (part blog, part wiki, part book) called Kitchen Table Math, started by two mummies whose mission statement is to have fun, to share ways of teaching kids math and to support people who wants to help kids learn math.

I don't know whether I felt surprise or proud the fact that one of the mummies, Catherine, cited Singapore Math as a coherent curriculum. This time, to my surprise, Singapore Math Inc is a company based in Oregon, USA supplying maths textbooks and workbooks from Singapore to US parents and teachers. In fact, some users from UK as well.

Well done to maths-curriculum-made-in-Singapore for doing so well overseas!
(yet our Malay kids are not doing so well in maths, sigh.)
