The results of the first report on the mathematical abilities of 13 and 17 year-olds by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) are summarized and interpreted. A similar article for elementary school mathematics appears in SE 514 769. (SD) Aspect of National Assessment (NAEP) dealt with in this document: Results (Interpretation).

Results from the third national mathematics assessment indicate that the decline in performance of 17 year olds between 1973 and 1978 has leveled out over the last four years, and 13 year olds' performance improved significantly between 1978 and 1982. However, most gains were on lower-order skills. (MNS)
