| Commentary: |
| This task involved using a ruler and a distance key to measure distances on a map and find thez shortest route. Very few students at either year 4 or year 8 were able to complete this task, although year 8 students showed improvement over year 4 students. Year 4 students did less well in 2007 than in 2003. Year 8 boys scored a little higher than year 8 girls. Year 8 Pakeha students scored a little higher than year 8 Mäori and Pasifika students. |
