Singapore math is a teaching method based on the national mathematics curriculum used for first through sixth grade in Singaporean schools. The term was coined in the United States to describe an approach originally developed in Singapore to teach students to learn and master fewer mathematical concepts at greater detail as well as having them learn these concepts using a three-step learning process: concrete, pictorial, and abstract. In the concrete step, students engage in hands-on learning experiences using physical objects which can be everyday items such as paper clips, toy blocks or math manipulates such as counting bears, link cubes and fraction discs. This is followed by drawing pictorial representations of mathematical concepts. Students then solve mathematical problems in an abstract way by using numbers and symbols.
Everyday Mathematics is a pre-K and elementary school mathematics curriculum, developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project. The program, now published by McGraw-Hill Education, has sparked debate.

External independent evaluation or External independent testing is the examination for admission to universities in Ukraine. Complex organizational procedures aim to determine the level of academic performance of secondary schools during their admission to higher education. The purpose of external evaluation: improving public education and implementation of Ukraine's constitutional rights to equal access to quality education, monitoring of compliance with the State Standard of secondary education and the analysis of the education system, and predicting its development. The results of external testing results are counted as a state of final attestation and the results of entrance examinations to higher educational institutions. Since 2004, with the support of international NGOs an external testing system is formed in Ukraine. Provision of the external evaluation carried out by the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment in partnership with local education authorities, the Regional Institute of Postgraduate Education, and educational institutions.
