Commentary: This task shows a dramatic improvement in the performance of year 4 students between 1995 and 1999. Thirty percent more year 4 students got the task completely right in 1999. There was little change for year 8 students. Both year 4 and year 8 students were very successful with this task in 1999. Ten percent more year 8 than year 4 students placed all four labels correctly. |
