Abstract
As part of the KASSEL Project, which is an international study to compare progress in mathematical attainment, approximately 2300 secondary three pupils from seven Singapore secondary schools took the Applying Mathematics Test in October I 996. The test comprised of two problems: Mosaic Stones and Power Cables. More than half of the pupils also filled out a simple survey immediately after completing the test. During the conference the presenters will share with participants, results of the test and findings of the simple survey, and discuss them in relation to the teaching/learning activities in mathematics classrooms.
