Executive SummaryIn 2007, public school students in Puerto Rico at grades 4 and 8 participated in a Spanish-language version of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics. A representative sample of approximately 2,800 students from 100 public schools was assessed at each grade. This report contains performance results on NAEP mathematics questions for public school students in Puerto Rico and the nation. Results are presented as the average scores for the correct answers (see box below)–expressed as decimals ranging from 0.00 to 1.00–for all the questions in the NAEP mathematics assessment and for questions in each of the five mathematics content areas (as shown in figures A and B).
