A bar model used to solve an addition problem. This pictorial approach is typically used as a problem-solving tool in Singapore math. Singapore math teaches students mathematical concepts in a three-step learning process: concrete, pictorial, and abstract. [3] This learning process was based on the work of an American psychologist, Jerome Bruner.
The Singapore Mathematical Society originally began as the Malayan Mathematical Society in 1952, founded by Alexander Oppenheim who became its first president. At the time, the SMS was hosted in the University of Malaya's Singapore campus, which later became the National University of Singapore.
