Why does Singapore do so well?
Singapore brings together all the theories of learning mathematics and apply them consistently across all their schools and through all the years.
They follow theories that have been known for decades, not just based on single person's research or the latest trend.
Singapore has built the foundation of the curriculum on these conceptual foundations:
Numeracy, Algebra, Statistics, Geometry, Probability and Analysis.
Added to these are the Skills, Processes, Metacognition and Attitudes
The Skills are: Estimation, Use of tools, Measurement, Data Analysis, Spatial Visualisation, Algebraic manipulation, Numerical Calculation
The Processes are: Reasoning, Communication, Making Connections, Thinking Skills, Application and Modelling (eg. Bar)
Metacognition is: How do I know? Let me thinking about my 'thinking'
Attitude is: 'We are good but we can do better'
How does the CPA approach work?
