How Do Our Twelfth Graders With Advanced Mathematics Instruction Compare To Advanced Mathematics Students In Other Countries?
The performance of U.S. twelfth-grade advanced mathematics students was among the lowest of the 16 TIMSS nations who administered the assessment to a comparable population of their advanced mathematics students and below the international average. Figure 9 shows that 11 nations outperformed the United States, while U.S. scores were not significantly different from those of 4 other nations. No countries scored below the United States on the assessment of advanced mathematics. U.S. advanced mathematics students included those who had completed or were completing pre-calculus, calculus, calculus and analytic geometry, or Advanced Placement calculus, repre-senting about 14 percent of the school-completing age cohort in the United States. If we compared only those U.S. students who had taken or were taking calculus or Advanced Placement calculus against all the advanced mathematics students in other countries, how did our calculus students perform?
