An increasing number of students complete eighth-grade mathematics before they complete eighth grade. Although the familiar question of acceleration versus enrichment is alive and well, programs dealing with diverse achievement levels lean toward continued acceleration. To enrich, one must search, evaluate, and select materials or create them anew. Many teachers spend much time and effort gathering or producing significant amounts of appropriate, quality enrichment material. Small wonder that we see more acceleration than enrichment.

Using TIMSS 2019 mathematics data, we investigated the variance in achievement within U.S. fourth and eighth-grade classrooms. Approximately 23% of students in a typical grade four classroom are expected to score at or below the low benchmark whereas 14% meet or exceed the advanced benchmark; these numbers are 35% and 14% for grade eight classrooms. Approximately 69% of grade four and 35% of grade eight classrooms included students across all four TIMSS benchmarks. About 68% and 37% of the variance lies within classrooms. Grouping students primarily based on age appears to yield classrooms with vast academic variability.

This paper presents systematic and classified achievements of eighth grade students’ in the field of algebra and functions. The authors analyze different student skills of satisfactory, basic and advanced achievement levels in particulars themes: expressions, equations, inequalities, simulation and proportionality. Author’s suggestions on how to improve the curriculum are based on the qualitative analysis of the tasks and the statistical analysis of students’ work. Data collect from 8904 country’s students test books and analyze 134 tasks. The authors would like to thank the National Examination Centre for access to the student database.

This study aims to know the influence of active learning model Course Review Horay to biology learning outcomes at eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 10 Batam academic year 2013/2014. This research design is  randomized experiment using posttest only control-group design. The study population is all the eighth grade students of  SMP Negeri 10 Batam with reached population consist of 7 classes. The sampling technique using a simple random sampling. Samples were selected class VIII5 as control class and VIII8 as experiment class. The instrument  that use in this research is the form of the test. Requirement have been in the form of normality and homogeneity test, which showed that normal and homogeneous data. Technique of data analysis conducted by the t test. The result analysis of data using the t test showed the tvalue 3.01 and ttable is 2.00 (tvalue > ttable). The results showed that the active learning result model Course Review Horay give effect to increase student learning outcomes from the average of the experimental class 82,57 and control class 76,04. Thus, the hypothesis put forward acceptable significance level (α = 0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that the using of active learning model Course Review Horay influential on learning outcomes of biology at eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 10 Batam. Keywords: Course Review Horay, Biology Learning Outcomes.
