I 16 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, November 13, 1996 Section Two School Test Results Released The results of a recent mathematics mathematics test of all grade three , students in Northumberland- Clarington schools released at a recent board meeting shows students have a good grasp of basic mathematics but they need to develop stronger analytical analytical skills. "The same main themes are emerging from all the provincial provincial and board-wide testing we've done so far," saysTrudy Lum, superintendent of program. program. "We need to focus on higher-level thinking skills and, in fact, that's what our schools are concentrating on now as they develop individual action plans." Over 80 per cent of students taking the test had mastered arithmetic. But they were weaker at applying, analyzing, analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating evaluating information. The test, conducted last April, included problems in geometry, geometry, algebra, data management, management, measurement, and calculations. calculations. Jan Pomeroy, co-ordinator of curriculum for the board, says the test gives the board the initial initial data it needs to assess the effectiveness of a major new mathematics project it is introducing introducing in its schools which involves involves technology as a teaching teaching and learning tool." The project also "includes a focus on teaching methods, the development development of new resources, additional teacher training, and new computer software that involves involves the different areas in mathematics including problem-solving." problem-solving." Lum says: "We established the mathematics project to improve improve our primary grade students' students' level of achievement... With this preliminary data, we will be able to determine our success by testing again (in the spring of 1998) and comparing the results. Our current results indicate that classroom instruction instruction currently puts a greater focus focus on arithmetic than on areas areas such as' geometry, measurement and data management. management. The school action plans will be developed to address these areas. CHEVROLET* ■pontia^randam . OUANTRILL T « GEO > OLDSMOBILE • CADILLAC LTD.
