From a presentation by Jerry Valadez from Fresno State, the grade 4 TIMSS Math scores with the added columns of "US Wealthy" and "US Poor." It struck me that the former is 2nd and the latter is 2nd to last. I had never seen the disparity put quite so clearly or succinctly. This just punctuates the need for us to get all students excited about STEM in order to close the achievement gap.
