News report linking Singapore Math Method with objectionable word problems

From http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/teacher-fired-assigning-violent-math-problems-third-graders-201910368.html:

"John's father gave him 1359 marbles on his birthday. John swallowed 585 marbles and died. 9 of John's friends came for his funeral the next day. John's grieving father gave the remaining marbles to John's friends in equal numbers. How many marbles did each friend get?"

Are the problems mentioned (from the website homeschoolingparadise.com) actually representative of the tone used in the Singapore method, or is it something that was added by the authors of the problems written for the website? I'm not sure where I'd find "authentic" Singapore math problems for comparison. 70.184.16.142 (talk) 02:51, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those teacher-written problems appear to have nothing to do with the topic of this article. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 16:04, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Its bull

Quite simply its a baseless article, stuffed with opinions of superiority and has no value whatsoever — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.90.41.20 (talk) 10:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What reliable sources do you suggest for Wikipedia articles about mathematics education materials? -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 16:05, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

100 - 70 = 30

The illustration of subtraction under "Bar Modeling" matches the text, with 30 as the unknown value to be determined. The mathematical expression in the illustration, though, "100 - 30 = 70," is the reverse of the calculation shown in the main text and the bar model. The author should provide a corrected illustration. Billfalls (talk) 17:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
