ON STUDENTS FAILING PROVINCIAL MATH STANDARDS

   The province’s youngest learners are increasingly failing to achieve provincial standards in math.
   The latest EQAO results show the continuation of a five-year slide in math results among elementary students.
  Only 61% of Grade 3 students and 49% of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard — a “B” grade — in 2017-18 EQAO testing.
  The results were better for Grade 9 students in the academic stream who scored 84% on their math testing but the Grade 9 applied stream had a much more disappointing 47% result, even though EQAO officials have said that there is no reason why students in either stream should not see equal success.
