=Why Singapore Math? = = = According to a study conducted by Ginsburg, Leinwand, Anstrom, and Pollock (2007).  //*For the complete study click// //here// ​
 * Singapore's mathematics system is mathematically logical, nationally uniformed, and includes in-depth topics at each grade level.
 * Singapore provides an alternative framework for students that have difficulty in mathematics.
 * Singaporean textbooks include multistep problems and concrete illustrations that offer multiple perspectives on solving abstract mathematical concepts.
 * High-stakes tests in Singapore are more challenging. In fact, released items from the grade 6 Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) are more challenging, in terms of the number of constructed response items and difficulty, than items released on the US grade 8 National Assessment of Education Progress. (NAEP).
 * On the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Singapore students performed well in all mathematical areas (*fractions and number sense, *measurement, *data representation, analysis, and probability, * geometry, *algebra).
