"America's students can benefit from Singapore math"

Another article forwarded along via NCTM.  This one is an opinion piece from a CNN education reporter (and former teacher).  It is a really good description of what Singapore Math is, and why it is helpful.

If you are really interested in reading on ... I'd also suggest scrolling down the page to the 3rd comment for a reminder that it is a good curriculum, but not necessarily a fix-all.

My view: America's students can benefit from Singapore math

Below is a link to a great article from another source.  I learned of the article through an email resource from NCTM (the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics).  I think this well represents what we frequently find to be true for our students (many, not all), and the sort of Math class atmosphere we usually try to foster.

Enjoy, and keep watching for more links to similar articles. (Now that I've figured out a good way to do it.)
