Attaining Excellence: TIMSS as a Starting Point to Examine Mathematics

Mathematics assessments is the U.S. Department of Education's latest addition to the TIMSS Resource Kit. The new module is designed to help state and local educators compare their eighth-grade mathematics assessment frameworks and curricula against national and international benchmarks. It compares the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) mathematics assessment frameworks, and uses actual test items to show how the geometry and algebra portions of the frameworks are articulated in the form of test questions across grades 4, 8, and 12. The module is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office for $33, stock #065-000-01222-7 (See Page 8 for ordering information).
