| Commentary: |
| Strong growth from year 4 to year 8 is seen in the ability to interpret a pictograph. While year 4 children had some difficulties with issues such as the units involved in the graph, year 8 children generally had little difficulty with the task. Performance was very similar in 2003 and 2007, and for boys and girls. Most year 4 Pasifika students scored half marks or lower but at year 8, all three ethnic groups performed similarly. |
