Maths - No Problem!
At Cedarwood, we follow a mastery approach to teaching Maths, based on the Singapore method of Maths teaching. Maths No Problem! is backed by the Department for Education and was developed by Dr Yeap Ban Har, one of the world’s leading experts on the Singapore Method.
About Maths - No problem!
Maths — No Problem! was created by husband and wife team Andy Psarianos and Dr. Anne Hermanson, who wanted to help their daughter when she fell behind in Maths.
Andy first came across Singapore Maths while lecturing in Singapore in the late 1990s. The country’s Maths teaching had just grabbed the attention of the world after shooting to the top of the international Maths league tables. Anne was covering the story for the Canadian Broadcast Corporation and Andy was dispatched to organise an interview with the Singaporean Ministry of Education. This meeting provided their first taste of the Singaporean approach to teaching Maths.
Years later in Tunbridge Wells, England, when their own daughter fell behind in maths, the couple sourced maths textbooks from Singapore to provide extra support at home. The results attracted the attention of other parents and Maths — No Problem! was born.
What is SIngapore Maths?
Singapore Maths is a term used to describe the mathematics curriculum developed and used in Singapore. Singapore Maths is a method of learning that uses three distinct approaches to understanding mathematical concepts and problem-solving. It uses the concrete to pictorial to abstract approach and encourages students to actively think, understand, and communicate to solve math problems.
