You have not listed Serbia, and you ranked

Kosovo which is not a country but a Serbian
province. Is this political move? What does

How to Build a Better Math Foundation with CTC Math - KidMinds

[…] The Pew Research Center found that 42

percent of Americans disliked math in school. “A
2012 study comparing 16-to-65-year-olds in 20
countries found that Americans rank in the
bottom five in numeracy. They could do basic
arithmetic but not computations requiring two or
more steps.” Only 2 percent of American
teenagers can develop “models for complex
situations, and work strategically using broad,
well- developed thinking and reasoning skills”
(compared to 31 in Shanghai). And when it
comes to 15-year-olds, not only do they rank
below average in math among the world’s most
developed countries, but the results also

certainly push us up in the ranking if Ontario
would do better.
