Maltese school to adopt the Singapore Maths approach
| Global News, Maths
Singapore Maths, based on the successful textbooks written by Dr Fong, has extended it’s global reach, with a leading Maltese school now adopting the approach.
According to the Times of Malta, “the independent Chiswick House School will be switching to what is known as the Singapore Maths Approach, a technique based on ‘maths mastery’ and hands-on learning.” Full article: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20160802/local/school-to-switch-to-singapore-maths-approach.620737
This follows on from the UCL Institute of Education and Cambridge University study last year which demonstrated that “children who were taught through the Singapore approach learned significantly faster than their classmates. Students using the approach also made, on average, an extra month of progress in a calendar year and academics predicted that the increase in their maths skills was likely to lead them to earnings as much as £200 (€236) a year higher after they leave school.”
According to the Chiswick maths leader Esmeralda Zerafa, “the most important thing is teaching for mastery: allowing the student to really grasp the concept rather than rushing through and moving to another one”.
