How to interpret the level bars

On the Parent Portal you can see your child's overall level, as well as the levels for each major strand under the heading "Where is my Child up to in their Learning?".

The information has 3 distinct parts:

1. The level number

This number shows the level your child is at based on the levels in the Australian Curriculum.

If there is a range shown instead of a single number, this means your child's exact level is still unknown. Once they have completed all their diagnostics it will show the exact level.

For more information, see What do the levels mean?

2. The growth index

This little green box shows the amount of growth (or new learning) your child has made since starting with Maths Pathway.

E.g. If they were at level 5.1 when they started but are now at level 5.4, then this little green box will show a growth of 0.3.

3. The bar graph

The bar graph is probably the most helpful part of this section, as it makes it very easy to visualise the information mentioned from the first two parts.

It is divided into two colours; light yellow stripes (prior learning), and dark yellow (new learning).

The total level is shown by where the end of the bar is at.

Sometimes there will also be an error bar extended from the end of the graph if your child's exact level is still unknown. This will decrease as they complete more diagnostics and eventually will disappear all together once their exact level is calculated.
