 note = {The mathematic achievement in Fiji primary schools has been a major concern over the last decade. This was clearly shown by the students’ constant poor mathematics results in the three (3) annual national external examinations namely the Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (LANA), Fiji Year 6 Examination (FY6E) and the Fiji Year 8 Examination (FY8E). The purpose of this in-depth analysis of the external examination items, results and the examiner’s report is to illustrate an overview of Fiji Grade 6 students’ mathematics achievement level and the underlying factors that may have hindered the numeracy achievement progress. The entire analysis covers the Fiji Year Six Examination and Fiji Year Eighth Examination mathematics results of 2015 in addition to the Year 6 Numeracy Results from 2012 to 2015. However, the results analysis has discovered that students’ poor numeracy achievement is highly related to students’ lack of basic mathematic conceptual knowledge and skills to solve comprehension and application related problems which requires high level thinking influence. In this regard, the quality of mathematic teaching and the teachers’ competence level are highly questionable.},
