  5. How PISA Was Conducted • Nationally representative samples of 15-year-olds in all countries • 2-hour paper-and-pencil assessment • In the United States, 262 schools and 5,456 students participated in spring and fall 2003 5

  16. Performance of 15-Year-Old Students in Mathematics Literacy and Problem Solving, by Sex: 2003 • Males outperformed females in mathematics literacy in the United States, and in two-thirds of other participating countries (20 of the other 28 OECD countries). • On average across the OECD countries, males outperformed females on each of the four mathematics literacy subscales. In the United States, differences were seen in the space and shape subscale. • In most of the PISA 2003 countries (32 out of 39 countries), including the United States, there were no measurable differences in problem-solving scores by sex. 16

  17. Relationship Between International Socioeconomic Index (ISEI) and Performance of U.S. 15-Year-Old Students in Mathematics Literacy: 2003 • U.S. average ISEI index score of 55 was higher than all countries except Norway and Iceland (no measurable differences with these countries). • Relationship of ISEI and mathematics literacy achievement (measured by change in score with change in ISEI index) was stronger in 5 countries and weaker in 11 countries than in the United States. No measurable differences were found between U.S. and the other 22 countries. 17

  18. Performance of U.S.15-Year-Old Students in Mathematics Literacy, by Race/Ethnicity: 2003 Average Score 600 550 512* 506 502 500 443* 450 417* 400 350 300 0 Black White Asian More than one race Hispanic Race/Ethnicity OECD average *Average is significantly different from OECD average. 18

  19. Performance of U.S.15-Year-Old Students in Problem Solving, by Race/Ethnicity: 2003 Average Score 600 550 506* 505 498 500 436* 450 413* 400 350 300 0 White Asian More than one race Hispanic Black Race/Ethnicity OECD average *Average is significantly different from OECD average. 19
