Carlong Numeracy Skills (Gateway to Numeracy)

Gateway to Numeracy: Carlong Numeracy Skills is the companion text to Carlong Literacy Skills. It prepares students for the critical Jamaican Grade 4 Numeracy Test through the provision of strategically organized practice tests. It also offers invaluable practice for students at the Class 3/Grade 4/Standard 3 levels in other Caribbean countries. The book commences with five tests which revise Grade 3 mathematical concepts and therefore pave the way for an easy transition to Grade 4 work. Each Grade 3 test covers a different mathematical strand i.e. Number, Measurement, Geometry, Algebra or Probability/Statistics. This is followed by five Grade 4 Term 1 tests and five Grade 4 Term 2 tests, each of which also covers a different mathematical strand. In the five Mixed Items Tests, the various mathematical strands are combined in each test. The ten full length test papers at the end of the book simulate the Grade 4 numeracy Test. Each consists of 46 multiple choice items and 3 open-ended items. After utilizing the copious practice provided in this text, students should be well equipped to master the Grade 4 Numeracy Test. Key Features: Stimulating items that not only test concepts learned but challenge students to think through processes Mathematical concepts set in real life situations Pan-Caribbean flavour infused throughout the text Can be used from the Grade 3 level Encourages independent work or practice at home
