Which country is the best at Singapore math? By: Rachel

Hypothesis: I think Ko-
rea will be the best at
math.
Procedure: I will test 6
people, 2 people from
Korea, 2 people from
Taiwan, 2 people from
Malaysia, with almost
the same average
grade. I will give them
5 problems and then I
will give them 30min to
solve all 5 problems.
After that, I will add
how many they get
correct.
Conclusion: My hy-
pothesis is supported
