They typically demonstrated success on the knowledge and skills represented by this benchmark, as well as those demonstrated at the Upper Quarter, Median, and Lower Quarter benchmarks.  \nExample Item 1 in Exhibit 2.2 illustrates the type of measurement item a student performing at the Top 10% Benchmark generally answered correctly. As can be seen, students had to apply their knowledge of the area of rectangles and inscribed shapes to solve a two-step problem about the area of a garden path. The international average for this item was 42 percent correct. Nevertheless, more than two-thirds of the students answered the item correctly in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Chinese Taipei, and Korea. On average internationally, more than 20 percent of students chose Option A, solving for the area of the larger rectangle rather than that of the path. Option C was an equally popular distracter, with more than 20 percent of students internationally selecting this response.  \nUnlike students performing at lower benchmarks, students reaching the Top 10% Benchmark typically could correctly answer multi-step word problems. Example Item 2 in Exhibit 2.3 requires students to select relevant information from two advertisements to solve a complex multi-step word problem involving decimals. Given the price for each issue of a magazine and a certain number of free issues, students were asked to calculate which of the two magazine subscriptions was the less expensive for 24 issues. Students received full credit if they showed correct calculations for at least one of the subscriptions, identified the less expensive magazine, and calculated the difference between the two subscriptions. With an international average of 24 percent correct (for full credit), this item was among the most difficult in timss 1999 . Singapore, Korea, and Chinese Taipei were the only countries where the majority of the students answered the item correctly.  \nStudents reaching the Top 1","cbCaiuKEWGNsRLJ9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuKEWGNsRLJ9","pdf",5865226,414,"English","# Student Achievement in Mathematics\n## How Do Participants Differ in Mathematics Achievement?\n# Performance at International Benchmarks\n## How Were the Benchmarks Developed?\n## How Do Benchmarking Participants Compare with International Benchmarks of Mathematics?\n# Achievement at the Top 10% Benchmark\n## Exhibit 2.1: Performance at the Top 10% Benchmark\n## Example Items and Exhibits","[{\"question\":\"What does the report summarize in Chapter 1 on student achievement in mathematics?\",\"answer\":\"Chapter 1 summarizes eighth-grade achievement on the TIMSS 1999 mathematics assessment for benchmarked U.S. states, districts, and consortia, as well as for each participating country.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report characterize performance at the Top 10% benchmark?\",\"answer\":\"Students at the Top 10% benchmark demonstrate the ability to organize information in problem-solving situations and apply understanding of mathematical relationships.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of problems are illustrated for students at the Top 10% benchmark?\",\"answer\":\"The chapter uses example items to illustrate measurement and multi-step word problems, including tasks involving area of rectangles and similar-triangle reasoning.\"}]","Mathematics Benchmarking Report - TIMSS 1999 - Eighth Grade - Student Achievement in Mathematics (Chapter 1) | PDF",1043]
