4RELEASEDMATHEMATICS ITEMSThis book contains the released Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS) 2003 grade 4 mathematics assessment items. This is not a complete set of all TIMSS2003 assessment items because some items are kept confidential so that they may be used insubsequent cycles of TIMSS to measure trends.How Can This Set of Released Items Be Used?In teacher-designed assessments. The items in this book present different ways of measuringstudents’ understanding in various content and cognitive domains. A teacher may use theseitems to create an assessment according to the needs of the class after reviewing the items andselecting items of interest.For feedback on student understanding. Student responses can be scored according to thescoring information provided in the book. Items that coincide with concepts taught in classallow the teacher to gain feedback on the students’ understanding of assessed concepts. Forexample, a teacher might decide to examine the incorrect or partially correct responses of theclass. The teacher might use the items to identify particular difficulties or misconceptionsexperienced by individual students, which can serve as the basis for some remedial teaching orfocused practice.To benchmark student performance. The teacher might also compare the percent of studentsin the class who responded correctly to an item with the percent of students who respondedcorrectly to the same item in other education systems or in the United States.TIMSS and PIRLS are copyrighted and are registered trademarks of IEA.

Guide to the Content and Layout of This BookThis book contains the released items from TIMSS 2003. Due to slight revisions in terminology andreleased information between cycles, the format for the items in each cycle differs slightly. Each item appearson a single page and is accompanied by a number of descriptors.2003 Content Domains: Patterns and RelationshipsDataGeometryMeasurementNumber2003 Cognitive Domains: Knowing facts and proceduresUsing conceptsSolving routine problemsReasoningLooking at Symbolic linear equation of magazines, the first item from TIMSS 2003, the content domain(patterns and relationships) and the cognitive domain (solving routine problems) are also accompanied by themain topic (equations and formulas).International item numbers identify each item. This number appears just below the item box.Correct answers are shown beneath each item. These correct answers take two forms: Letter code. This form is used for the correct response on multiple-choice items. Scoring guide. This form is used to assist in scoring write-in responses. In some cases, partial creditmay be awarded and these items will provide guidelines for fully correct, partially correct, and incorrectresponses.Sample student responses are provided for some extended response items.International benchmarks are provided in a table next to each item. These consist of statistics on thepercentage of students in each country who answered the question correctly. The countries are ordered interms of this percentage. The international average is included as well, and this display also indicates whichcountries scored significantly higher, significantly lower, and not significantly different from thisinternational average.
