Singapore Math is the generic name of the math curriculum or syllabus that is created by the education ministry in Singapore for use in Singapore schools.

Singapore's math curriculum gained worldwide recognition when Singapore was ranked first in mathematics in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 1995 and Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 1999.

As more and more people around the world became fascinated with the astounding success of Singapore students in mathematics, they began referring to Singapore's math curriculum as simply Singapore Math.
