Commentary:
In 2001 this task was given to year 4 and year 8 students, but in 1997 it was given only to year 8 students. Year 4 students varied enormously in performance, with 18 percent getting at least 80% correct and 29 percent getting less than 30% correct. Many year 4 classes do not study division. Almost two thirds of the year 8 students got at least 90% correct, with a small improvement in high scores compared to the 1997 students.
