Australian Item Bank Program: Mathematics Item Bank. Book 2: Abstract Algebra, Relations and Functions, Analysis, Geometry, Trigonometry, Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Probability.
Australian Council for Educational Research, Hawthorn.
This item bank was compiled by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) to help teachers at the secondary school level construct objective tests in mathematics. The multiple-choice items were written by teachers who attended ACER writing workshops. The questions are classified according to their subject content and the cognitive skills required to answer them; the correct response is also indicated. These classifications are provided through five-digit content axis numbers. Classifications in the content axis include abstract algebra; relations and functions; analysis; geometry; trigonometry; applied mathematics; and statistics and probability. The item complexity is indicated on a five-point scale, based upon the number of students in a test group who gave correct responses. Instructions for reproducing the tests and answer sheets are also included. (Author/JAC)
