Abstract

The purposes of this study are confirm the effect of time involved in math on mathematics achievement exists in two levels, and capturing the relationship between time involved in math and math achievement. A more comprehensive independent variable was used and two sets of hierarchical linear regression models were designed to examine five countries dataset in PISA 2012. The results suggested that in almost Asian countries, the time involved in math related activities had a significantly positive effect on student mathematics achievement in both student and school level. In the U.S., the same effect can be found in student level, but not in school level. While, in Singapore, the relationships were not significant in both levels.
