Lessons Learned: What International Assessments Tell Us about Math Achievement

Standards for educational achievement are under scrutiny in many industrialised countries, and student performance in mathematics is widely seen as especially important in a technological age. For more than four decades, the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) has run international assessments that measure how well students in different countries learn mathematics.

Loveless uses those assessments to look at what they tell us about maths achievement across countries. The catalogue notes that the book also reports on the latest round of mathematics tests.

Education policy specialists, teachers and researchers who follow international comparisons of student performance will find the book relevant.
