Message The BC curriculum’s goal is to helpcreate educated citizens who can applytheir learning of to all the contexts oftheir life – at home, at work, and insociety. The Numeracy Assessment assesses astudent’s understanding, application ofknowledge and deeper learning insituations that mirror real world settings.Throughout the assessment, studentsapply mathematical reasoning that they have learned throughout their education, in all areas of the curriculum.

a provincial graduationrequirement that assessesa student’s proficiency innumeracy. it evaluates a student’snumeracy skills developedover the course of their K-10 education rather thanthe content of a specificmath course.assesses a student's abilityto interpret, apply solve,analyze and communicatetheir thinking, through avariety of multiple choice, short answer and detailed solution questions.Make sense of mathematicalsolutions in context by assessing thepracticality and possible limitations ofsolutions, identify possibleimprovements to an approach, orrelate the solution to other contexts.Translate real world problems intomathematical language, by choosingappropriate tools to solve problems,organize and connect information,and create relationships.Solve mathematical problems andcheck mathematical solutions.ANALYZEINTERPRETRead the situations and decidewhat information is relevant tosolving the problem.WHAT IS THE GRADE10 NUMERACYASSESSMENT?WHAT SKILLSARE BEINGASSESSED?APPLYSOLVECOMMUNICATEUse mathematical language effectivelyto express solutions supported bylogical evidence. WHAT DOES IT LOOKLIKE?Delivered online in three sections:Common section: 24 questionscompleted online Student-choice section: Choice of twoof four questions completed on paper,presenting detailed solutions. Self-reflection section: Students reflecton their experience. These questions arenot scored.Typically requires two hours tocomplete. Students who require extra time canhave an additional hour. Schools will offer severalopportunities for students tocomplete in their Grade 10 year. Schools prepare students bypresenting practice activities toensure that students understand theformat and by supervising theassessment session to offer supportas needed.The assessment includes an onlinecalculator; however, students mayalso bring their own
