of the four fundamental
operations.
RATIONALE
 The department of education aims to develop learners who are
numerates and who can apply numeracy skills for various
purposes. To achieve this, critical thinking and problem-solving
need to be emphasized in the teaching of mathematics as well in
the design of assessment tools.
 To help mathematics teachers and curriculum implementers get

an idea about the numeracy skills and levels of their learners in
the four mathematical fundamental operations.
What is The Regional Unified Numeracy
Test?
 intended for grade three to grade 10 learners in all public and private
schools in DepEd Region VIII. It is designed to measure the learners
competencies on the four fundamental operations in mathematics
(addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). In this test, Grade
3 learners are required to answer a 10-item numeracy test in 10
minutes while Grades 4 to 6 learners are given 15 minutes to answer
a 12-item numeracy test. In Junior High School, learners are only be
given 12 minutes in answering a 12-item numeracy test.
The numeracy test is not intended as a
diagnostic test, a formative test nor a
summative test but designed to determine
the mastery level of the learners of the four
fundamental operations.
