| Commentary: Year 4 students in 2003 were less successful in completing a bar graph than their peers in 1999, particularly in shading the bar appropriately. The performance for year 8 students was similar in 1999 and 2003. Only a small proportion of year 4 and year 8 students interpreted the graph using the units of the scale. |
