Upon gaining independence in 1965, Singapore faced significant challenges including high unemployment, poverty, and illiteracy. The country had a GDP per capita of less than $2,700. In the late 20th century, Singapore developed its own mathematics curriculum called Singapore Math that focused on problem solving, reasoning, and the use of manipulatives. This challenging program aimed to improve learning outcomes for all students. By the 2000s, Singapore students achieved among the top scores in international assessments like PISA and TIMSS, with a small percentage of low performers and a high percentage of top performers.

- 5. The Story of Singapore Math Improving Low Achievement
- 6. High Achievement Was Not a Given “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.”
