NAPLAN Testing occurs in Week 3 of Term 2 from May 12- 14.

If you would like to see the sorts of tests your child will undertake go to the following web address.

If you look at the mathematics questions you will notice that they do not test how well your child can "do sums" but how well they apply their mathematical reasoning. 

Students who have difficulties with these tests are often those who make impulsive guesses rather than carefully considering their answers.

You may like to spend sometime with your child seeing how they approach problems and discuss what they found easy or difficult.
