Abstract | Estonian pupils achieved good results in international tests like TIMSS and PISA (IEA’s TIMSS 2003 International Report on Achievement in the Mathematics Cognitive Domains, 2005; Assessing Scientific, Reading and Mathematical Literacy, 2006). Despite the high results of Estonian pupils, annual official tests showed that there were problems in subtraction, multiplication and time calculations at primary school level (The National Examinations and Qualifications Centre, 2009). |
