IKAN

Primary students’ knowledge stages for maths assessment can be measured from a Number Framework interview and written test generally in years 3-10 for students at the Advanced Counting stage, Numeracy Stage 4, or higher.

<div>A maximum of 4 IKAN (&#39;<strong>K</strong>nowledge <strong>A</strong>ssessment for <strong>N</strong>umeracy&#39;) Class assessment results can be recorded, typically carried out twice a year.</div>
<h3>Setting up</h3>
<p>Where your school Assessment Co-ordinator (or person with this user responsibility) has configured &lsquo;IKAN&rsquo; as an option selecting appropriate years for your school via My Class Assessment (&#39;Configure Assessments&#39; button) on the &#39;Mathematics&#39; tab, the entry page is available. Note that only the student&#39;s last 2 tests will display in the analysis for the class, but where there are more than two results entered, these will all display in the individual student&#39;s stage summary.</p>
<h3>Recording results for IKAN Maths Assessments</h3>
<div>From your Class assessments, results can be entered for individual students within each teacher&rsquo;s class (according to appropriate year group) following the specified data fields. &nbsp;</div>
<div>The results of the present academic year applicable to the specific test type will be displayed together with the date they were entered.&nbsp;</div>
<div>Initial fields are:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Bank <strong>One &nbsp;</strong>AC &ndash; EA Transition Advanced Counting &ndash; Emergent Additive</div>
<div>Bank <strong>Two &nbsp;</strong>EA &ndash; AA Transition&gt; Emergent Additive &ndash; Advanced Additive</div>
<div>Bank <strong>Three &nbsp;</strong>AA - AM Transition Advanced Additive &ndash; Advanced Multiplicative</div>
<div>Bank <strong>Four &nbsp;</strong>AM &ndash; AP Transition Advanced Multiplicative - Advanced Proportional</div>
<div>Bank <strong>Five &nbsp;</strong>AP + Progression Advanced Proportional +</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>On the Mathematics assessment page, the latest sub test is displayed (instead of &quot;Incomplete&quot;) showing the test bank taken.&nbsp;</div>
<h3>Analysis of IKAN results</h3>
<p>Analysis of the IKAN assessment results is available for students in each teacher&rsquo;s own classes within the Mathematics tab. From the Class Assessments page, where teachers in year levels 3-10 have entered scores, the derived curriculum level can be recorded highlighting key learning areas. These are used in conjunction with the teachers&rsquo; project book for the number knowledge stages providing &lsquo;what next&rsquo; strategies.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note that IKAN analysis will only display each student&#39;s last two tests for Class Analysis, eg. results may have been recorded for 4 IKAN tests for a student, only the latest 2 will be taken into the Class Analysis.</p>
