Singapore Kids Ranked Number One in 1995, 1999 and 2003 in TIMSS
Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)
Conducted on a four-year cycle, the first round of TIMSS was in 1995, the second round in 1999 and the third round in 2003. Singapore students who took TIMSS in 1995,1999 and 2003 were using the Primary Mathematics Series (the only math series in Singapore that was written by the Singapore Ministry of Education). In all three rounds, Singapore students came in first in mathematics. The results speak for themselves about the Primary Mathematics series. More information about TIMSS.
