Maths is complex we all know that. There is number knowledge, strand, apply the knowledge we have learned. When exploring the wider Data from PAT test in our school, cluster and wider Makaiakalani community we can see that for us in our school their is a significant challenge.
Graph 1: Pt England School:
As you can see from this graph well the children look to be travelling along the same trajectory as the norm the gap between the norm and children at our school at all levels in significant.
Graph 2: Manaiakalani Cluster:
While this paints a lightly more positive picture it is clear that at year 9 and 10 the gap widens and that there is still a difference between the data and norm.
Graph 3: The Manaiakalani Programs
Similarly to the data is closer to the norm but still shows that there is a gap widening at year 7-10.
What does this say about the problem? We can see that the wide range of knowledge, strategy and application required in Mathematics are not being gain by all children and that on the whole there is a significant gap between the the norm and especially where the children are at our school.
