Realigned+standards

toc =NZQA maths page= [] = = =University entrance= The new UE requirement stuff is up on the web now.. @http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/about-us/news/consultation-on-proposed-new-university-entrance-requirement/ Consultation is open until 6 December and the outcome will be announced before the end of 2010.

=Achievement standards= Here is the matrix for level 1, 2, and 3 proposed standards

Standards Matrices have been updated to include the official standard number – but please note that the official standards will not be available until registered on the Directory of Assessment Standards by NZQA in December//.// = = = = =Unit standards= Current unit standards and proposed changes: = = Current unit standards and proposed changes (including replacement information and proposed expiry dates spreadsheets) have been updated.The Level 1 information is close to final and Level 2 and 3 information will be finalised as the review progresses.

=Calculators and the realigned standards= There have been some questions about the situation regarding calculators in assessments for the realigned standards at level one. This is the situation: = = = =
 * The new CAT assessment does not allow calculators of any kind.
 * All other new externals allow use of calculators including graphics calculators, that are non-CAS. (As is currently the case for externals)
 * At present NZQA has a list of prohibited (i.e. CAS) calculators ( [] ). It is the intention to replace this for next year with a permitted list instead. This will not change which calculators may be used, but it will tell teachers and students positively which calculators are OK rather than the reverse.
 * Any calculators (including CAS) may be used in internals unless prohibited in the standard itself (e.g. US 20659 Demonstrate basic algebra skills).
