The Mathematics Assessment

Six clusters of outcomes in the Mathematics learning area will be assessed: Working Mathematically, Measurement, Space, Chance and Data, Number and Algebra.  

All students take part in two separate 45-minute assessments. The total time for administering each assessment will be about 60 minutes.

One of the mathematics assessments will consist of questions assessing Space and Measurement. The other will consist of questions assessing Number, Algebra and Chance and Data. A small number of Working Mathematically questions will be included in both assessments.

The assessments can be done in any order. Students will require a calculator for both components.

The questions in the MSE9 mathematics assessment will mainly address outcomes at levels 4 and 5. A small number of questions addressing level 3 and level 6 outcomes are included.
