MATHEMATICS... IT AIN'T WHAT YOU DO, IT'S THE WAY THAT YOU DO IT. THAT'S WHAT GETS RESULTS!

Regardless of the type of school attended (public or private, advantaged or disadvantaged), 15-year-old students spent more time in mathematics lessons in 2012 than in 2003. The report found that:

• The average amount of time spent in mathematics classes varies by more than a factor of two across countries and economies. 
• The more time spent in mathematics classes, the better students perform, on average.
• Giving students more work in class is often not enough to improve learning outcomes.
