There is another project called JUMP math which has shown some great results, and is now getting adopted widely in Canada. Essentially the approach is to present concepts as bite-sized chunks (more scaffolded) and make students gradually work their way up to tougher problems.

If you think about it, it makes sense: if the problem in math is people get stuck at some foundational step where they are required to "get" something, and start to think they "suck at math" because they are missing this piece, then making the steps VERY small will make sure everyone can make those steps, thus making everyone "good at math."

Similar to Singapore math, it's not based on a "textbook" that you read but an "exercise book" that you write and solve exercises in. I don't have personal experience with teaching using this approach, but I have heard many good things.
