Subject: 4th Grade Math and Science Questions Added to Explore Your
Math/Science Knowledge in The Student's Classroom


     The NCES Students' Classroom has just added 4th grade math and
science questions to its popular interactive feature, "Explore Your
Knowledge." You can now test your Mathematics and Science knowledge and
see how your answers compare to 4th & 8th grade students from countries
around the world. All you have to do is select a subject, grade and the
number of questions you would like to be asked. In addition to the answers
you will also learn other interesting tidbits about the subject you chose
and about the countries. These questions all come from The Third
International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) which collected 4th
grade (1995) and 8th-grade (1999) level data in 38 countries to provide
information about mathematics and science achievement of U.S. students
compared to those in other nations. More questions, subjects and grade
levels are always being added so come back often.
