In 2007, thirty-six countries participated in the TIMSS, Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study. The table on the left below shows the average mathematics scale scores of fourth grade students, by country, from the 2007 TIMSS. The table on the right shows the 2003 results. Since 1995, Singapore is either at the top, or near the top. They have earned a reputation for long standing achievement in education. Think back to the Olympics over the summer... when the Singapore athletes entered they were introduced as being the top nation in math and science.
