Some educational leaders say there& #39;s no problem with our math education because we finished 8th in 2018 PISA testing. But this is misinformation. We finished 18th. We were below the Canadian average. And our results have cratered since embracing Discovery Math ed 20 years ago.
The cold, hard and brutal facts? In 1995, 39% of our students were high achievers & 26% low achievers in math, on TIMSS.
By 2019, that dropped to just 21% high achievers, 41% low achievers. #ableg https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yv09VMtCUoJdc4AiUID7HOgosolfR_YSwotG_J0kSwU/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...

When it comes to the PISA test, 27% of our students at highest levels of math achievement in 2003, 7.4% at lowest level.
By 2018, just 15.3% highest levels, rocketing up to 16.2% lowest levels.
On TIMSS 2015 we ranked 30th, below Ontario and Quebec again.
