In recent years, mathematics and science education in Singapore has become a focus of considerable interest among many countries. Such interest has been generated by the results of TIMSS, which assessed the performance of students in different countries at levels corresponding to Grades 4 and 8. Singapore students performed well, especially in Mathematics. Besides the assessment items, questionnaires were administered to school principals, as well as the students and their mathematics teachers. The comprehensive data provided a useful source to interpret student achievement in the participating countries. This chapter presents some information about Singapore students' learning of mathematics in TIMSS 2003 through these questionnaires.
