› Individual’s capacity to:
formulate
employ
interpret
Includes reasoning and apply mathematical
concepts
procedures
facts and tools

Items for Mathematics
Released items/Localized items

16. LEVEL 1b

17. Level 1b
›Respond to questions involving
easy to understand contexts where
all relevant information is clearly
given in a simple representation.

19. LEVEL 1a

20. Level 1a
›Answer questions involving familiar
contexts where all relevant
information is present, and the
questions are clearly defined.

22. LEVEL 2

23. Level 2
›Can employ basic algorithms,
formulae, procedures, or
conventions to solve problems
involving whole numbers.

25. LEVEL 3

26. Level 3
›Typically show some ability to
handle percentages, fractions, and
decimal numbers, and to work with
proportional relationships.

28. LEVEL 4

29. Level 4
›Can construct and communicate
explanations and arguments based
on their interpretations, arguments,
and actions.

31. LEVEL 5

32. Level 5
›Can work strategically using broad,
well-developed thinking and
reasoning skills, appropriate linked
representations, symbolic and
formal characterizations, and insight
pertaining to these situations.

34. LEVEL 6

35. Level 6
› Students can conceptualize, generalize,
and utilize information based on their
investigations and modelling of complex
problem situations, and can use their
knowledge in relatively non-standard
contexts.
