Math-Time Capital Matters: A Cross-Country Analysis.

Lewis, Kenneth A.; Seidman, Laurence S.

Economics of Education Review, v13 n3 p215-26 1994

Computed and compared the accumulation rate of math-time capital through eighth grade in a sample of countries including Japan and the United States. The 1982 IEA exam administered to 13-year olds shows a U.S. score substantially below Japan (the highest math-time country). The United States could lengthen the school year by three weeks and require summer math homework to improve achievement. (23 references) (MLH)
