| Subgroup Analysis [Click on charts to enlarge] : |
Year 4  |
||
| Commentary: |
| Most students were able to provide good reasons for why a cookie factory develops and tests new ideas for cookies, and why they wrap their product. There was moderate growth seen from year 4 to year 8. There were minimal gender differences at year 4, but girls outperformed boys at year 8. Pakeha students outperformed Mäori and Pasifika students at year 4 and year 8. Moderate growth was seen from 2004 to 2008 at year 8.
