Commentary:
Students were quite successful at reading a simple graph. The one question that asked for a calculation in addition to reading numbers from the graph proved to be somewhat difficult for year 4 students. Mäori and Pasifika year 4 students performed similarly, but Mäori students outperformed Pasifika students at year 8.
