In this paper the author describes what it is that the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) mathematics assessment aims to measure, and presents a case regarding the potential benefits that could flow from a pedagogy that takes the PISA mathematics challenges seriously. Other potential uses of PISA data are also briefly canvassed.
