The controversial math test mandated by Ontario's provincial education ministry rolled out online in early May after a year of delay caused by the pandemic.
The education ministry says the multiple-choice math test is one element of a plan to improve math skills among students that also includes a revised elementary curriculum and the introduction of math coaches, online tutoring for students and professional development for teachers.
“Math is a foundational skill, which is why we instituted a new $200 million plan to lift math scores for students and improved teacher training and standards — including an expectation that new educators meet a grade nine math standard,” said Caitlin Clark, a spokesperson for Education Minister Stephen Lecce, in a statement.
