Well, we had our first practice test for Naplan last week, and the results were a little like Keanu Reeves' acting - mostly ordinary and sometimes a little painful :)
But not to worry. My initial evaluation indicates that the results are more about their willingness to bound through the test and get it done as quickly as possible rather than being a true indication of their mathematical ability. I saw many examples where simply slowing down and reading the question twice would have saved a lot of heartbreak in the end, and that will be our initial starting point this week.
The children will be bringing their tests home for you to have a look at and sign before returning them to school for their assessment folders. They will probably come home Wednesday, so look out for them.
