Improving numeracy achievement for students in years 7–9

Abstract

This strategy focused on improving numeracy outcomes for year 7–9 students in Catholic schools, where NAPLAN testing identified significant numbers of students in the lower achievement bands.

The key elements were focusing on year 7–9 students, building on existing school expertise, and supporting school-based decisions. The ideal was for each student to reach at least the minimum standard so they could take part in mathematics classes for their year level. For schools, the aim was to reduce the numbers of students in the lower bands of numeracy achievement, as identified in NAPLAN data.
