Methodology | Common Variables | Student | Teacher | Institutional

The SAIP 2001 Mathematics assessment took place in April 2001 and included two components for students: the Content component and the Problem Solving component. The test items are not released, but students' overall performance on each component is provided, as well as students' performance in specific area like numbers, algebra, geometry and statistics. In addition, students answered a questionnaire that contains useful data information that might be connected to their test results. Mathematics teachers and school principals from all jurisdictions also filled out separate questionnaires. For five provinces (Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia), students' results are given by language groups (Anglophone and Francophone).

We have organized the SAIP 2001 Mathematics dataset into four themes: Common Variables, Student, Teacher and Institutional. However, the information in each of the categories is interrelated. For instance, a cohort of students from a BC school is described by variables in the Student theme, as well as by school (Institutional theme) and teachers' characteristics (Teacher theme).

The Methodology section provides a brief description of the design and use of the SAIP Data Catalogue.
