Link to Numeracy Co-requisite

PaCT synthesises a teacher’s aspect judgements into a scale score which is displayed in relation to the levels of the NZC.
The Numeracy benchmark broadly aligns with scale descriptors in the range 750-850 on the PaCT scale for Mathematics (Upper Level 4 and lower level 5 NZC)
Indicator of readiness for Numeracy US

Readiness tool?

The Numeracy benchmark broadly aligns with scale descriptors in the range 750-850 on the PaCT scale for Mathematics (Upper Level 4 and lower level 5 NZC)

Need to enter all 8 aspects to get the PaCT scale score

Use and build our specialist knowledge

Understand the progressions
Share and discuss the illustrations
Use curriculum elaborations of what level 4-5 looks like
Link LPFs to curriculum
Reflect on ‘opportunities to learn’ in our planning
Can we support teacher formative assessment practices to support in-class assesment
