#5 - The Hidden Math Gap: What Parents, Teachers, and Policy Makers Must Do

<p>In this episode of Testing Testing, we uncover a surprising truth: many students say they understand math, yet fail to meet grade-level expectations. Ontario’s latest standardized test results reveal a troubling gap - 68% of Grade 6 students believe they “get” the math, but only 51% actually perform at or above the provincial standard. That means in every classroom, about five students think they’re on track - but aren’t.</p><p>Why does this happen? And more importantly, how do we fix it? We’ll explore why this gap exists, why it matters, and what teachers, parents, and policymakers can do to close it. </p>
