Conclusions: TIMMS 1999 Video Study : 

Conclusions: TIMMS 1999 Video Study Teaching of mathematics has NOT IMPROVED. A RANGE OF APPROACHES TO TEACHING EXIST in countries where 8th grade students’ achievement was high. The most significant difference between the U.S. and the high-achieving countries was the LEVEL OF ENGAGAEMENT of students in active struggle with core mathematics concepts and procedures.

Conclusions: What Mathematics Teachers Must Do : 

Conclusions: What Mathematics Teachers Must Do Learn a VARIETY OF INSTRUCTIONAL STATEGIES that attend to key mathematical relationships and ENGAGE STUDENTS in mathematical work. Learn to MONITOR what students are experiencing, thinking, and learning during a lesson and be able to constantly READJUST STRATEGIES in order to capitalize on every opportunity for students to learn.
