About this Assessment

PAT Mathematics Stanines enable a student’s achievement to be compared against National Norms. They also enable teachers and parents to compare

student performance across cohort groups.

Stanines and their associated test scores have been scaled and ‘normed’ to fit the ‘Bell Curve of Normal Distribution’.

This test became available in its current form to schools in 2007.

There are various components within the test which are used by teachers to target teaching and learning. These are: Number Knowledge, Number

Strategies, Algebra, Geometry/Measurement and Statistics.

As the NZCER have supplied the Scaled Score match to National Standards we are able provide the Indicative National Standards grades of Well Below,

Below, At, and Above for Years 6 to 8. This has been treated as an indicative end of year (EOY) summative assessment for 2017 due to the fact that

students still have 10 months of learning to undertake in their relevant Year Group.

As a result of these NZCER Scaled Score Matches we are also able to supply Comparisons to Equivalent Year Group End of Year Performance. It is

important to note with these graphs that students still have 10 months of learning to get to the appropriate ‘Year Level Performance’

NZCER have now provided schools with an expected (National Average) rate pf progress from one year to the next as measured by scaled scores. This

enables us to track the progress of cohorts of students against both the national expectation as well as other cohorts of interest within our school.

Importantly in order for this to happen students must have undertaken the assessment twice so that the differential can be calculated and progress of

individuals and cohorts can then be analysed.

2017 PAT Mathematics Achievement Summary

1. Overall performance across the school is slightly above National Norms. We have 61% of our students at or above Stanine 5. (Norm =60%). This

performance is 1% above the National Norm. This performance is a lift of 4% on 2016

2. Overall performance remains consistent through the age group cohorts, beginning at 65% in Year 4 and finishing at 63% by Year 8. A standout

cohort is Year 5 with only 51% of students at or above Stanine 5. (Norm =60%).

3. In comparison to National Norms our ‘tail’ is small. The tail being the 15% students with Stanine Result 1, 2, or 3 (Norm= 23%). This performance is

5% better than the National Norm

4. Maori Performance is at National Norms and is above NZ European/Pakeha. We have 60% of our Maori students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm

=60%) This performance is at the norm for ‘All’.

5. Pacific Peoples are at the National Norms with 60% of students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) This performance is 32% lift from 2016. It is

important to note that this group contains only 5 students or 2% of the test population.

6. Indicative National Standards results show that 70% of students are At or Above the Standard when the results are interpreted as summative

assessment for 2017

7. Results over time were trending up for Pacific Peoples, with only 5 students in this cohort it is unreliable to draw to many statistical conclusions.

Results over time remain consistent for the ‘All’. The plateauing in results for Maori and ‘All’ seen in the last two years continues.

8. All cohorts have made pleasing progress from one year to the next. See Equivalent Year Group Graphs on pages 16-20.

9. The rates of progress as measured by Scale Score show that Maori and NZ European/Pakeha are very similar. There is no apparent ethnic

achievement deficit. NZ European/Pakeha and Maori have made the most progress in 12 months (6.45 and 6.06patm respectively) while Pacific

Peoples made the least at (4.25patm).

10. When looking at progress as measured against a percentage of expectation (100% being 1 year’s progress in 1 calendar year) NZ European/Pakeha and

Maori exceed Pacific Peoples by 30% points. Both NZ European/Pakeha and Maori are progressing at a rate which is above expectation (102%)

pg. 4

11. The Mathematics Target Group has made excellent progress, 6.0 scaled score points or 102.9% to expectation It is important to note that every

student in this group was either Well Below or Below the National Standard in Mathematics on 31 December 2015. When digging deeper into this

statistic there is more good news.

a. There were 43 students who undertook both assessments in (PATs in March 2016 and March 2017). Of this group the following statements can

be made

i. 21 Students have made accelerated progress

ii. 17 students have made accelerated progress at more than a rate of 150% (18 months’ progress in 12 calendar months)

iii. This improvement is also reflected in OTJs for Mathematics with 11 of the 43 students now achieving at the National Standard for

Mathematics (31 December 2016)
