No. 27® rq.2oT9

INSTTTUTIONALIZATION OF THE CONDUCT OF THE UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

To: Schools Division superintendents

All Others Concerned

1. This Office, through the Curriculum and Leaming Management Division, (CLMD)
announces the institutionalization of the conduct of the Unified Numeracy Test which will be
administered to Grades 3-10 students in all public and private schools of Region VIII for School
Year 2019-2020.

2. The unified numeracy test aims to determine the numeracy levels of the learners in the
four mathematical fundamental operations.

3. To ensure smooth conduct of the activity, the Schools Division Offices (SDOs) are
advised to strictly follow the attached General Guidelines on the Administration of the Unified
Numeracy Test. Along with this, the Division Mathematics Supervisors are c!irected to conduct
an orientation prior to the actual test administral:ion.

4. Immediate dissemination of and compliance with this Memorandum are desired.

Enclosure A to Regional Memorandum s. 2019: General Guidelines

GENERAL Gu[DELINES ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE

UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

I. RATIONALE

The Department of Education emphasizes critical thinking and problem solving as twin goals

in Mathematics aligned with the implementation of K to 12 Basic Education Program. To achieve

these twin goals, learners are expected to be numerates. Thus, they need to be equipped with

numeracy skills.

Numeracy skills are the basic foundation towards learning of all mathematical competencies

across grade levels. It is where our learners apply their knowledge on the required competencies lN

mathematics.

As an initiative of the DepEd Regional Office through the Curriculum Learning and

Management Division and the collaboration of Education program supervisors in Mathematics from

the 13 Schools Division Offices, a numeracy test will be administered to the learners starting June

2019 to determine the numeracy levels off the learners in the four mathematical fundamental

Operations.

11. DESCRIPTION

The Regional Unified NumeracyTest is intended for Grade 3 to Grade 10 learners in all public

and private schools in DepEd Region Vlll. It shall measure the learners' competencies on the four

fundamental operations in mathematics (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Grade 3

learners are required to answer a 10-item numeracy test in 10 minutes while Grades 4 to 6 are given

15 minutes to answer a 12-item numeracy test. Moreover, Junior High School Learners shall only be

given 12 minutes in answering a 12-item numeracy test. The Numeracy test is not intended as a
diagnostic test, formative test, nor summative test. This is solely designed to determine the mastery

level of the learners on the four fundamental operations.

lv. ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIFIED NUMERACY TEST

1. The school Head or Mathematics coordinator must conduct an orientation priorto the actual
administration of the numeracy test.

2. The MathematicsTeachershall administerthe numeracytest to all learners in Grade 3 (Key

Stage 1), Grades 4 to 6 (Key Stage 2) and Grades 7 to 10 (Key Stage 3) as scheduled.

3. The teacher administering the test shall strictly follow the time allotment and shall observe
the confidentiality of test materials.

4. The teachershall immediately check, record and interpretthe result of the numeracytest as
indicated in the template.

5. Test papers shall be kept bythe teacher for the validation of the Division Focal Person.

6. The school mathematics coordinator or the school head shall keep custody of the numeracy
tool.

7. The results shall be reflected in the quarterly School Data Gathering Tool (SDGT) 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.

9. Moderately Numerates learners still need enrichment may also be given an intervention.

10. Learners or takers are not allowed to use cellphones, calculators, and any gadgets.

11. For the next school year and thereafter the following shall be observed:

11.1 All Grades3,4and 7 learnerswill takethe numeracytest.

11.2 In case of Grade 5,6,8,9 and 10, onlythose identified non-numerates in the
previous grade level shall take the numeracy test.
11.3 Transferees, repeaters, and "balik-aral" and those without numeracy records
shall also take the test.

12. At the end of the school year, the teacher shall turn over the results of the numeracy test to

the school head.
