Summary
Along with children from almost 60 countries, New Zealand’s Year 5 students took part in the 2006/07 cycle of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS 2006/07). This study measures trends in mathematics and science achievement in Years 5 and 9 and identifies effective instructional practices from around the world. After every cycle of TIMSS, some of the test questions are released to the public while some are kept confidential to help measure trends from one cycle to the next.
One booklet contains a selection of TIMSS 2006/07 test questions from the three mathematics content domains and the other has items from the three science content domains.
