A form of “mathematical acupuncture” that could relieve non-Singapore teachers and students of math anxiety, if they experiment with problem-solving heuristics like the bar model method and stack model method, while experiencing the pain of brain-unfriendly questions.
Although a number of countries that embraced Singapore math have seen significant improvement in their students’ math scores, however, without parental and societal pressures for a nation to become numerate, at best cosmetic changes would result even with the best math curriculum in place.

The mathematical equivalent of having brown rice rather than white biryani rice. An unsexy, wholesome math curriculum that is healthy to the mind, but brain-unfriendly for most students, who need to force themselves to mastering the concepts confidently.
Like taking cod liver oil, which is good for the body immune system, Singapore math may look unappetizing, but after spending a few hundred hours practicing thousands of nonroutine, impractical or sterile questions, your brain can only get mathematically stronger and healthier.

penis math is a mathematical expression that relates to how boned a guy's penis is.
"The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat" is simple penis math!

The technical explanation of why male/male relationships are so popular with heterosexual women in fandom.
Buttsecks Math is a fairly simple equation! Even your boggled boyfriend can get it!
1 pretty man = good
1 pretty man + 1 pretty man = better
kissing = very good
(1 pretty man + 1 pretty man) kissing = doubleplusgood

a modern form of torture used to subjugate and enforce the rules of "acad-e-mic-s" upon the slobbering youths
Bob feared his math class, and thus did not attend the gathering of defunkified zombies, instead opting to go and visit the bathroom for between 45-120 minutes

When math-smart yes-members of Parliament and cabinet ministers in Singapore—who are versed with all the big numbers of their million-dollar salaries and bonuses and the nation’s trillion-dollar economy—appear quasi-clueless on how to deal with the alphas, betas, and deltas, which has resulted in a daily unhealthy number of corona infections in recent weeks—could these half-street-smart politicians outwit these Greek viruses and variants?
Although the government has provided a safe haven for thousands of tax fugitives from both rich and rogue nations, and created a materialistic milieu that motivates both locals and aliens to deify the money god, however, Singapore math ministers’ social living-with-Covid experiment looks like they’re indulging in some trial-and-error political calculus with the lives and livelihoods of the people.

When alcohol is bought at the store for a group of people by one person and there is a dispute over how much change should be returned. The receipt is then presented and the group does the beer math to determine the correct change to be given back.
Josh: Dude, where is my change at?
Adam: There is none. I used all the money you gave me.
Josh: There is no way a case of beer cost 20 bucks.
Michael: Guess we have to get the receipt out and do the beer math.
