To place students’ mathematics achievement results in instructional contexts, it is necessary to precisely analyze the relationships between classroom instructional activities used in teaching and learning mathematics and achievements. Because of the high interest in improving students’ ability in mathematics, TIMSS asked students and teachers about how often students were asked to do certain activities related to mathematics topics, problem-solving, calculator and computer use, role of homework, and assessment used in class. Thus, the purpose of this study is focused on constructing effective predictive classroom activities based on both student and teacher questionnaires in TIMSS 2007 survey of Taiwan. The results show that it is more appropriate to apply mathematics instructional activities from student self-report to explore the relationships between the instructional factors and achievements. Furthermore, these instructional activities can explain a large proportion of betweenschool variations and within schools variations as well as can be very unique variables to predict student achievements.
