Abstract
- This study investigates the relationship between students ability to answer reduced language dependency mathematical questions with their overall numeracy level. It investigates whether a student's success at reduced language mathematical questions translates into better overall numeracy scores. It was found, students have up to two years advancement if able to correctly answer reduced language dependency questions. This phenomenon was clearly apparent in the overall findings, but was most pronounced at the Year 3 level test, and for female students.
