Find out why Singapore schools have switched completely to the new
and improved Singapore Math.
All the primary schools in Singapore, the world's math leader, are
using the New Singapore Math textbook packages for 5th Grade / Primary 5.
Primary Mathematics For 5th Grade / Primary 5 Package is based on the Old
Singapore Math curriculum and is no longer used in any Singapore school
since 2005.
