6. TIMSS Trends in International Math and
Science Study
• Held every 4 years in Math and Science for Grade 4 and Grade 8
• Philippines participated in 1999 and 2003 for Grade 4 and 8 out of 53
countries
• in 2015, there was a study suggesting that only the countrys Grade 4
Math is aligned with the timss assessment framework while Grade 8

would be posted this coming December

they will assign a subject to us or even 2 subjects in some cases and we
don’t have a say about that kasi if that’s what is needed at the moment
why not po diba
