Year 3 NAPLAN Numeracy Prep — Set 2

This is a second practice set with 10 brand-new questions, so students who have already completed Set 1 can keep practising the key numeracy skills tested in the Year 3 NAPLAN assessment without seeing the same questions twice.

Exam Tips for Year 3 Numeracy

1. Read each question carefully — look at the numbers and what the question is actually asking you to do.
2. Use pictures to help — draw dots, lines or tallies if you need to work something out.
3. Skip hard questions — if a question is tricky, move on and come back to it later.
4. Check your answers — if you finish early, go back and check your work.
