    The document provides guidelines for administering a regional unified numeracy test in DepEd Region VIII. The test aims to assess learners' competencies in the four fundamental math operations from Grades 3 to 10. It will be administered at the beginning and end of the school year, with quarterly tests for students identified as non-numerate. The roles and responsibilities of teachers, school heads, and division staff in conducting the test are outlined. Results will be used to identify students needing intervention and to inform curriculum planning.

    ADMINISTRATION OF THE

    REGIONAL UNIFIED NUMERACY


    TEST
    Basis of the Conduct of the Unified Numeracy
    Test
    • Regional Memorandum No. 280 s., 2021
    • Regional Memorandum No. 279 s., 2019
    GENERAL GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
    UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

    RATIONALE
    The Department of Education aims to develop learners who are
    numerates and who can apply numeracy skills for various purposes. To
    achieve this, critical thinking and problem solving need to be emphasized in
    the teaching of Mathematics as well as in the design of assessment tools.
    Since numeracy skills are the foundation towards learning of all
    mathematical competencies across grade levels, the need to assess how much of
    it are already in the learners is of prime importance.
    GENERAL GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
    UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

    RATIONALE
    To help Mathematics teachers and curriculum implementers get an
    idea about the numeracy skills and levels of their learners in the four
    mathematical fundamental operations, the DepEd Regional Office VIII,
    through the Curriculum Learning and Management Division, and in
    partnership with the different Schools Division Offices, developed a regional
    numeracy test which was first administered to the learners in June 2019.
    GENERAL GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
    UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

    RATIONALE

    The numeracy test is not intended as a diagnostic test, a formative test,


    nor a summative test but designed to determine the mastery level of the
    learners on the four fundamental operations.
    GENERAL GUIDELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
    UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

    DESCRIPTION
    The Regional Unified Numeracy Test in intended for Grades 3 to 10 in
    all public and private schools in DepEd Region VIII. It is designed to measure
    the learners’ competencies on the four fundamental operations in Mathematics
    (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division). In this test, Grade 3
    learners are required to answer a 10-item numeracy test in 10 minutes while
    Grades 4 to 6 learners are given 15 minutes to answer a 12-item numeracy test.
    In Junior High School, learners are only given 12 minutes in answering a 12-
    item numeracy.
    ROLES OF PERSONS RESPONSIBLE OR
    INVOLVED
    1. The School Head or Mathematics Coordinator must conduct an orientation
    prior to the actual administration of the numeracy test.

    2. The Mathematics Teacher shall administer the numeracy test to all learners
    in Grade 3 (Key Stage 1), Grade 4 to 6 (Key Stage 2), Grade 7 to 10 (Key Stage
    3) as scheduled. Senior High School learners may be given the same test that
    was administered to JHS.
    ROLES OF PERSONS RESPONSIBLE OR
    INVOLVED
    1. The School Head or Mathematics Coordinator must conduct an orientation
    prior to the actual administration of the numeracy test.

    2. The Mathematics Teacher shall administer the numeracy test to all learners
    in Grade 3 (Key Stage 1), Grade 4 to 6 (Key Stage 2), Grade 7 to 10 (Key Stage

    and shall observe the confidentiality of test materials. However, in cases where
    a face-to-face administration is impossible, the test shall be administered
    through a Learner Activity Sheet (LAS) to be facilitated by any family
    member indicating the time started and time ended signed by the facilitator.

    4. Upon receipt of the accomplished LAS, the teacher shall immediately check,
    record, and interpret the result of the numeracy test as indicated in the
    template.

    7. The results shall be reflected in the quarterly School Data Gathering Tool
    (SGDT) which shall provide inputs for the School-Based Management (SBM)
    level of practice of the school. These results shall further be used as basis for
    validation and intervention. (e.g., SLAC, Action Research, and School Banner
    Project).

    8. The teacher shall administer the next round of test only to the identified
    non-numerates. Priority for the interventions are the identified non-
    numerates.

    test items in Addition and Subtraction only, and for Grade 3 the complete set
    of test items the four basic operations.
    ROLES OF PERSONS RESPONSIBLE OR
    INVOLVED
    10.3 Quarterly test for those identified as non-numerate in all grade level.
    10.4 Transferees, repeaters, and “balik-aral” learners and those without
    numeracy records shall also take the test.

    11. At the end of the school year, the teacher shall turn over the results of the
    numeracy test to the school head.
    NUMERACY TEST SCHEDULE

    • Pre-Test: Last week of the month after the opening of classes


    • Post-Test: After the quarterly examination for those who are identified as
    non-numerates.
