  4. What is Numeracy?

  5. The Numeracy Assessment • The Graduation Numeracy Assessment is based on mathematical concepts learned across multiple subjects... with an emphasis on K–9. • It is NOT a math exam! You don’t need to know the quadratic formula or cosine law for this! • You will ALL write during the upcoming exam week You will be assigned a day/time. Your day/time can be found on Student Bulletin or posted outside the office!

  6. The Numeracy Assessment • This assessment is REQUIRED TO GRADUATE; it is NOT OPTIONAL. • If you do not like your score, you have 2 more chances to write it next year or in grade 12 (a total of 3 tries). • You will have 2 hours plus an additional hour, for a total of 3 hours. • Multiple choice questions are done on computer; Written response questions are done on paper. • Four topic types: • Fair-Share – Decide how to best share something fairly (ex. Giving out bonuses) • Planning – Analyze time, space, cost, and people in order to make a recommendation(ex. Shipping stuff) • Estimation – Make or use estimates to build a logical argument for a possible solution (ex. Best way to travel to Australia given certain parameters) • Modelling – come up with a model or strategy given a data set, then apply this model or strategy to a new data set, and if necessary, refine your model (ex. Ranking criteria)

  7. The Numeracy Assessment • Format: There are a total of 24 multiple choices and 2 written responses. 6MCs + 6MCs + 1WR + 6MCs + 6MCs + 1WR = 24MCs + 2 WRs (Here is the catch. Once you make a WR choice you can’t go back!) Choose Topic 3 or 4 1 WR Choose Topic 1 or 2 1 WR Topic 3 6MCs Topic 2 6MCs Topic 4 6MCs Topic 1 6MCs
