Commentary:
Solving this task involved multiplication or repeated addition of individual ticket costs for each booklet of tickets. Because almost equal percentages of year 4 students chose each option, there is very little evidence of this capability for year 4 students. Performance at both year levels was a little lower in 2009 than in 2005. At both year levels, Mäori students performed similarly to Pakeha students.
