Every four years a test called Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is given to students around the world. This year it was given to 425,000 students. The test is an attempt to measure the performance of fourth and eighth grade students in math and science. Massachusetts Grade 4 science students were really in the game and finished second to Singapore.
While the grades of U.S. students improved since the 2003 tests, we still have a way to go to register better performances than Asian students.
