Compared to the OECD average, based on the 2012 results, Shanghai is the equivalent of three years of schooling ahead on mathematics. Critics have pointed out that Shanghai is the leading city in the world’s largest country, and that not enough children are represented by the PISA tests, but the results are stark even when critical adjustments are made. • QUIZ: Could you pass an 11-year-old's maths SATs test? • QUIZ: How good are your maths skills? • QUIZ: Can you answer our hardest questions?

Click & Close Ads Seven out of the top 10 education systems for mathematics are located in Asia, and Shanghai leads the tables in reading and science for both years too, although by a slightly lesser margin. With the PISA testing happening every three years, testing will occur this year, with the main subject focus being on science. Major attention has been paid in the UK to the so called ‘Shanghai method’ of teaching, with a maths teacher exchange now entering its second phase. The exchange involves top Shanghai teachers visiting the UK to share their world-class approach. In November 2014, 29 visiting maths teachers spent a month working in primary schools across England to help introduce techniques such as focusing on fewer topics and whole class progression. See if you can match a Chinese 10-year-old with our Shanghai based maths quiz below These questions are derived from the Shanghai teaching curriculum, with the first four being at grade four level (9-10 years) and the remaining six at grade five level (10-11 years). Not all of these questions would be presented in multiple choice format in reality.Click & Close Ads
