1 Updated: Mathematics Proficiency
2 Average mathematics scale scores 1 for students in grades four and eight improved almost every year between 2000 and 2013, but decreased between 2013 and Twelfth-graders scores improved slightly between 2005 and 2009, but remained the same for 2013 as they were in Importance Competence in mathematics is essential for functioning in everyday life, as well as for success in our increasingly technology-based workplace. Students who take higher-level mathematics and science courses which require strong fundamental skills in mathematics are more likely to attend and to complete college. 2,3 One study of high school females found that one difference between those who later dropped out of high school and those who graduated was lower math scores among the former group. 4 The importance of mathematics extends beyond the academic domain. Young people who transition to adulthood with limited mathematics skills are likely to find it difficult to function in society. Basic arithmetic skills are required for everyday computations, and sometimes for job applications. 5 Additionally, competence in mathematics skills is related to higher levels of employability. 6,7,8,9 Since 1976, the influence of high school students mathematics skills on later earnings has grown steadily. 10,11 2 P a g e
3 Average scale score Mathematics Proficiency Trends After years of steady gains, mathematics scale scores decreased in 2015 for both fourth- and eighthgraders. Between 1990 and 2013, average mathematics scale scores rose from 213 to 242 for fourthgraders, and from 263 to 285 for eighth-graders. In 2015, scores had fallen to 240 among fourth-graders, and 282 among eighth-graders. For fourth-graders, there were significant increases in every year up to 2013, except between 1996 and 2000, and between 2007 and 2009, when scores stayed level. Average scores for eighth-graders increased between each test year until (Figure 1) Math proficiency scores for twelfth-graders rose between 1990 and 2000, from 294 to In 2005, a new mathematics framework was developed for twelfth-grade students, using a 0-to-300 scale, instead of the 0- to-500 scale used in previous years. Despite this scoring change, a government study found that there was a probable increase in math ability for twelfth-grade students from 2000 to The average score for all twelfth-grade students increased between 2005 and 2009, from 150 to 153, but remained steady at 153 in (Figure 1) Figure Average Scale Scores in Mathematics for Fourth-, Eighth-, and Twelfth-Grade Students: Twelfth Grade* Eighth Grade Fourth Grade Twelfth Grade* No Accommodations permitted Accommodations Permitted *Note: In 2005, a new mathematics framework was developed for twelfth -grade scores on a 0-to-300 scale, instead of the 0-to- 500 scale which was used in previous years, therefore, scores between the two periods are not comparable.

4 Average Scale Score Mathematics Proficiency Differences by Race and Hispanic Origin 14 Overall, scores have been rising for all race and ethnicity groups, although white students continue to outscore their black, Hispanic, and American Indian peers. Gaps by race/hispanic origin are greater in eighth grade than in fourth or twelfth grades. (Appendices 1, 2, and 3) In the most recent year available (2013 for twelfth-graders, 2015 for younger students), Asian students had the highest math scores at all grade levels, followed by white students. Black students had the lowest math scores at all grade levels. Hispanic and American Indian students had scores between white and black students at all grade levels, and, among fourth-graders, Hispanic students had higher average scores than American Indian students. For example, among eighth-grade students, Asian students had an average scale score of 306, compared with 292 for white students, 270 and 267 for Hispanic and American Indian students, respectively, and 260 for black students.

Eighth-grade scores fell the most among black 4 P a g e

The eighth-grade scores for American Indian and Asian students remained steady between 2013 and (Appendices 1, 2, and 3) Differences by Parental Education Children of parents with high levels of education have higher math scores than other children. In 2015, eighth-graders whose parents had graduated college had an average score 29 points higher than students whose parents had not finished high school, and 26 points higher than students whose parents had a high school degree only. (Figure 3)In 2013, Twelfth-grade students whose parents graduated college had an average scale score of 164, compared with 139 for students of parents with a high school degree, and 137 for students of parents with less than a high school degree.

7 National Goals The No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law in January 2002, requires states to set performance standards for multiple subjects, including mathematics, and requires that each state measure students progress in mathematics and reading every year from grades 3 to 8, and at least once in grades 10 to 12. Each state is expected to make adequate yearly progress toward meeting standards, and all children are expected to meet or exceed minimum proficiency standards, as defined by the state, within twelve years (by 2014). For more information visit: Related Indicators Reading proficiency: Science proficiency: Writing proficiency: Definition Mathematics proficiency is defined as performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) main assessment and is measured by average scale scores. Scale scores range from 0 to 500, with a standard deviation of 100. In 2005, a new mathematics framework was adopted for twelfth-graders, with scale scores ranging from 0 to 300. Each grade level and each subject area has criteria for achievement-level, categorized as basic, proficient, or advanced. This represents what students should know.

15 Endnotes 1 Scale scores are derived from student responses to assessment items, summarizing the overall level of performance. While NAEP does not report scale scores for individual students, NAEP does produce summary statistics describing scale scores for groups of students. NAEP subject-area scales typically range from 0 to 500 (reading, fourth- and eighth-grade mathematics, U.S. history, and geography) or from 0 to 300 (science, writing, twelfth-grade mathematics, and civics). 2 Adelman, C.
