 Singapore have taken an innovative approach to teaching elementary math — the curriculum focuses on problem solving particularly with diagrams which has resulted in Singapore students leading the world in math.

Non-routine (new to the student) math problem solving provides gifted students with:

  • An interesting and enjoyable way to learn mathematics that develops a child’s quantitative reasoning
  • High order thinking skills – intellectual skills that call for more than the retrieval of information
  • The need to pay attention to detail and think clearly
  • Exposure to initial confusion and failure so they learn how to persist and trust their thinking
  • Read, interpret and manipulate precise and intricate ideas
  • The need to apply themselves steadily across time
