Özet: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of home resources for learning, students who attended preprimary education and early literacy and numeracy activities before beginning primary school on mathematics and science performance. The sample of the study consists of N=6456 4th year students who participated in TIMSS 2015. The effect of independent variables on mathematics and science performance was analyzed by ANOVA. According to the results, as home resources for learning increase, math and science performance increases both Turkey and TIMSS 2015 samples.  However, the amount of home resources for learning in Turkey are quite insufficient compared to TIMSS 2015 average. The mathematics and science performance of students who attend pre-school is higher than those of student who had not attended pre-school. There is positive linear relationship between early childhood education attendance rates and math as well as science performance in TIMSS 2015, but there is no such relationship in Turkey. Both in Tukey and TIMSS 2015 samples, there is positive and linear relationship between frequency of early literacy and numeracy activities before beginning primary school and math performance as well as science.
