NORMALIZED COMPOSITE MATH SCORES OF ALL TIMSS AND PISA

4 Summary of Dongchan Lee s new discoveries after the release of the TIMSS 2015 and PISA 2015 results on math, science, and readings 1) Math skills Income per capita: Math 1 STDEV of math growth ~ times GDP per capita growths in PPP 2) All developed Englihs speaking countries and most of the Latin American countries have the stronger reading scores than math scores by large margins. 3) The difference of the math scores reading scores can explain the income growths better than the mean school years if we exclude 3-6 outliers (5-10% of the participating number of nations). 4) All developed English speaking countries and most of the Latin American countries have the stronger reading scores than math scores by large margins. 5) As years go by, the impact of the relative strength of math over reading skills tend to impact the GDP per capita more strongly, about 50-75% of the overall impact levels of the math average scores to the income per capita.

5 Summary of Dongchan Lee s new discoveries after the release of the TIMSS 2015 and PISA 2015 results on math 1) The results of the PISA 2015, TIMSS 2015, and the overall patterns of the math score growths past years show that most developed nations are stagnating. 2) The overall lost years of math growth in the USA, South Korea, etc. for instance, show that the estimated GDP loss to these nations are at least 2-5 years of the annual GDP over the next half a century. (in upcoming paper). 3) In spite of the fast rise of the technology-based education, including that for mathematics in most of the developed countries, obviously the technology can t solve the math EDU stagnations. There must be alternatives. NOTE: if the governments stay as they have been, the history of the past years clearly show that there are little chances for them to raise their national math average. The technology has limits. Only MMU1 can show the first signs of evidences so that all can move forward after the initial more evidences in the developed nations rise.

6 MMU1 (Mini Mini USL1) proposals to Americas 2017 Ending Math Poverty With Dongchan Lee To raise nationally this takes years normally. 25% 25% 25% 25% Very quickly The Best math 50% (with the school teachers) as appetizers ~ 1.35 STDEV advances The Worst math 50% with Dongchan Lee

7 PISA & TIMSS math (the 2 Olympics or World Cup of math and science education assessments in the world) growth stagnations or even collapses : the average math and percentile distributions of PISA (15 years) & TIMSS (20 years) & why MMU1 by Dongchan Lee can change these all quickly 7 English-speaking developed countries, Latin American countries, and 3 of Asian Tigers Dongchan Lee, All rights reserved

9 MMU1 is all about following the yellow arrow. MMU1 pilots are to boost the math poverty to end the math poverty: from the low 25 percentile to about 25 percentile to get the first flavor of what this is going to be like to the national governments that can fully commit and support the MMU1 initiatives. As such, this will focus first on the math poorest % of the student population in each participating cities, states, or counries.

10 See the quasi-flat growths of these nations for 12 years in PISA overall. The yellow arrow is roughly the efficiency slope boost in MMU1 level operations.

38 In the following regressions, you have to be aware that the typical correlation or growth coefficients of GDP per capita vs. the Mean school years is about R^2 ~ For instance, according to Hanushek & Woessmann s regressions about the linear correlation between these 2 factors without including cognitive skills at all, the growth coefficient is about 0.35 and the R^2 ~ 0.25 (meaning that the mean school year alone can explain only about 25% of the GDP per capita grwoths (at least based on their regression based on 50 countries between ). Keeping this in mind that the PISA math reading score difference against the GDP per capita based on PPP leads to about similar magnitude of R^2 when about 3-5 outliers are taken out.

53 Invite Dongchan Lee To run MMU1 Pilot studies In your country With your Ministries Of Edu Support him. Fund him. Help him end the math poverty. Give him media publicities. Bring him philanthropists. To end the poverty. To make USL go global. Bring him Investors. Faster than anyone else can.. In the entire world. Make him demonstrate to the UNESCO To the General Assembly of the UN. Help him create his own 1 NGO per country Help him accelerate the SDGs of the UN far faster than currently possible.
