Also known as “Singapore Math in the Metaverse.” When thanks to Web 3.0 technology, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—backed by blockchain technology to ensure authenticity and ownership—become common currency or key connecting points to the metaverse among math educators and geeky investors.
While Singapore Math 3.0 is still in its diapers, or is still wet so we can’t see its true colors, mathepreneurs can’t afford to be spectators that they miss out on the opportunities and experiences and new revenue streams offered by the new digital Wild West economy.

When foreign countries discreetly incorporate the best of the Singapore math curriculum, such as the bar or stack model method, learning experiences, and big ideas, into their own local curriculum, by adopting it as their stepchild, where cross-fertilization of local and foreign ideas occasionally results in an aha! by-product.
Thanks to the bastardization of Singapore math, the US Common Core Math had given birth to a few beautiful methodological and pedagogical offsprings in math education, much to the delight of local math educators who follow closely how their foreign counterparts are creatively adopting some of the problem-solving visualization strategies.

Singapore Sports School is not where Joseph Schooling trained at. A vibrant, inclusive and nurtured school. Although the Student-Athletes there train like everyday is competition, they surprisingly still choose to stay up after lights out in their boarding rooms. Student-athletes at Singapore Sports School don't just train for sports like a mad dog, they study too. Yes, they study, hence they are called Student-Athletes.
Singapore Sports School is commonly identified as a prison-school or a kampung - there is no in-between. Everybody in the school knows everybody, due to its small population of student athletes and staff.
Student-athletes there basically are living under a rock.
NS must be easy for you since you went to Singapore Sports School.
Someone who fakes their knowhow of Singapore’s bar model method and stack model method—two problem-solving visualization strategies commonly used by local teachers and tutors—often oblivious that their audience could smell their half-baked knowledge in effectively applying these “draw a model” techniques to solve word problems.
Most school teachers and textbook writers could easily detect those local and foreign Singapore mask educators in academia, who often serve as supervisors for trainee math teachers.

When bots would select word problems from a question bank, then forward them to ghost editors in Bangalore, before sending the final proof to POD publishers like Amazon Kindle to distribute both printed and e-copies to customers worldwide.
Guesstimate how much the McDonaldization of Singapore math mass market is worth every year, as professional pirates from India, Pakistan, and Nigeria try to cash in.

When math writers or publishers in Singapore withheld or delayed publishing any new titles during the lockdown, because local bookstores were considered non-essential businesses, and in the living-with-Covid new normal, new foreign titles are being axed for being too dear to be shipped overseas due to rising freight costs and recurring global supply chain disruptions.
No one knows whether the publication of foreign editions of Singapore math textbooks is heading towards a subset industry or not as a result of the covidization of Singapore math.
