Singapore's education system is self-contained, especially mathematics, which is known as "the first in Asia". Compared with China, Singaporean mathematics has a deep understanding of the truth that "high buildings rise from the ground", and attaches importance to children's mathematical foundation, so that they can understand the source and concept of formulas and fill the loopholes in traditional teaching methods. Modeling thinking is the most important feature of Singapore mathematics. Through modeling, complex mathematical problems can be simplified into vivid and intuitive calculation methods, making it easier for children to understand.
The excellent mathematics education in Singapore is closely related to the strong mathematics learning atmosphere in Singapore. Among them, Singapore's numerous international mathematics competitions epitomize the learning atmosphere of Singapore's mathematics, such as the Singapore International Mathematical Olympiad Challenge and the Junior High School Mathematical Olympiad.
Education in Singapore pays attention to diversity.
In Singapore's education, gender education begins at an early age. On the first day of kindergarten, knowing the toilet is the first lesson. Men and women should respect each other when they enter separately. Kindergarten in Singapore will arrange extracurricular activities every Monday to Thursday to cultivate children's hobbies. After school in Singapore, basically all students will go to CCA. In Singapore, the overall quality is directly linked to further education. Students with higher CCA scores can enjoy "preferential treatment for further studies".
Camping, exploration and survival are compulsory courses. In Singapore, freehand rock climbing, canoeing and outdoor camping are compulsory courses for primary school students. Generally, from the fourth grade of primary school to the graduation of middle school, the school arranges students of all grades to have a three-day camping activity every year, usually in nature reserves or small islands around Singapore. Students can improve their life skills, teamwork ability and have a practical understanding of environmental protection through outdoor exploration, outdoor survival and other activities.
