Using TIMSS to Teach Mathematics with Meaning: Why “Mathematics with Meaning?”
The key principles highlighted in this Teacher Snippet are connected to Volume 4 in the IEA Research for Educators series. Volume four of the IEA Research for Educators series explores how evidence and resources from TIMSS can promote meaning-making in mathematics teaching and learning. It offers educators evidence-based guidance and classroom resources to develop students’ mathematical understanding, reasoning, and problem-solving.

TIMSS is an international assessment of student achievement in mathematics and science at fourth and eighth grades. Measuring trends in achievement since 1995, TIMSS data have enabled countries around the world to make evidence-based decisions related to mathematics and science teaching and learning.
IEA offers a host of Teacher Snippets using data from IEA's TIMSS, PIRLS, ICILS, and ICCS. Discover the rest of this series.
