| Commentary: |
| In this task students were asked to analyse improvements to a book cover. There were no gender differences in either year 4 or year 8. In year 4 there were minor differences among the Pakeha, Mäori, and Pasifika students. In year 8, the Pakeha students performed slightly better than the Mäori and Pasifika students. There was little change at either year level from 2002 to 2006. |
