General Information

MSE Mathematics School Assessment Materials are available as follows:

• Year 3: Space, Measurement, Chance and Data, Number and Working Mathematically
• Year 5: Space, Measurement, Chance and Data and Number
• Year 7: Space, Measurement, Chance and Data, Number and Working Mathematically
• Year 10: Space, Measurement, Chance and Data, Number, Albegra and Working Mathematically

Each assessment task will require approximately 10-15 minutes in addition to the actual testing time for instructions and distribution and collection of materials. Some schools may wish to complete two assessments in a single session. In this case, 10-15 minutes will still be sufficient for administration.

Before conducting assessments, teachers should leave themselves enough time to read through the teachers manual to become familiar with the standardized administration procedures and assessment requirements.

Year 3 Assessment Tasks

There are two year 3 Teachers Manuals that contain test administration and analysis guidelines for the assessments:

• One teachers manual for the assessments in Measurement, Chance and Data, Space and Number
• One teachers manual for the assessment in Working Mathematically.

Time allocations and materials required are as follows:

Year 5 AssessmentTasks

There is one year 5 teachers manual. It contains test administration and analysis guidelines for the Measurement, Chance and Data, Space and Number substrand assessments.

Time allocations and materials required are as follows:

* allow an extra 10-15 minutes for instructions and distribution and collection of materials

Year 7 Assessment Tasks

There are two year 7 teachers manuals that contain test administration and analysis guidelines for the assessments:

• One teachers manual for the assessments in Measurement, Chance and Data, Space and Number
• One teachers manual for the assessment in Working Mathematically.

Time allocations and materials required are as follows:

* allow an extra 10-15 minutes for instructions and distribution and collection of materials

Year 10 Assessment Tasks

For year 10, there are two MSE assessment packages and three teachers manuals. Each manual contains test administration and analysis guidelines for the substrand assessments. The assessment packages are designated Year 10a and Year 10b.

Assessment 10a

• Designed for students with mid to high ability range
• Contains the more difficult questions
• The substrands covered are Space, Measurement, Chance and Data and Number and Algebra.
• One teachers manual covers the above four substrands.

Time allocations and materials required for Assessment 10a are as follows:

* allow an extra 10-15 minutes for instructions and distribution and collection of materials

Assessment 10b

• Designed for students with low to mid ability range
• Contains the less difficult questions
• The substrands covered are Space, Measurement, Chance and Data, Number and Working Mathematically.
• There are two teachers manuals: one covers the substrands Measurement, Chance and Data, Space and Number, and the other covers Working Mathematically.

Time allocations and materials required for Assessment 10b are as follows:

* allow an extra 10-15 minutes for instructions and distribution and collection of materials

• Teachers Manuals: $10.00 ea
• Student Booklets: $0.60 ea
