Abstract
With the announcement of the 2003 PISA results in December 2004, we can now take a closer look at the released items and at how the 15-year-olds of the PISA assessment fared. A brief examination of item difficulty within the “change and relationship” scale suggests that we still know little about what it is that students find difficult in certain mathematical tasks.
