“Upon separation from Malaysia in 1965, Singapore
was faced with … high levels of unemployment and
poverty. 70% of Singapore’s households lived in badly
overcrowded conditions, and a third of its people
squatted in slums on the city fringes. Unemployment
averaged 14%, GDP per capita was less than $2,700,
and half of the population was illiterate. “

If everyone were exposed to mathematics in
its natural state, with all the challenging fun
and surprises that that entails, I think we
would see a dramatic change both in the
attitude of students toward mathematics, and
in our conception of what it means to be
'good at math’.
