Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) have provided a wealth of data on the mathematics education of U.S. students. (TIMSS has been renamed “Trends in Mathematics and Science Study” and will continue to be known as TIMSS in future assessments.) TIMSS was administered in 1995 and repeated in 1999 and included grades 4, 8, and the end of secondary school. NAEP began in 1969 and regularly reports on the knowledge and skills of U.S. students in fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades in a variety of subject areas. In addition to studying mathematics achievement, both NAEP and TIMSS collect data on the contexts for learning mathematics, such as teacher and school characteristics, instructional practices, and curriculum.
