# Provincial Assessments - Literacy and Numeracy #### What is a Provincial Assessment? There are three provincial assessments that Grad program students need to take. ##### Grade 10 Graduation Numeracy Assessment The Graduation Numeracy Assessment (GNA) is a provincial assessment written in Grade 10. It is a graduation requirement. The GNA is based on mathematical concepts learned across multiple subjects from kindergarten to Grade 10, with an emphasis on K–9. It requires students to solve problems by using the five numeracy processes (different ways of thinking and working): interpret, apply, solve, analyze and communicate. HCOS has written a free resource for grad program students to access to help prepare for the Numeracy 10 assessment. To access the resource, click on this link: [https://lms.onlineschool.ca/course/view.php?id=2741](https://lms.onlineschool.ca/course/view.php?id=2741). Students can self-enrol in this online module, and simply need to contact their GA for the [enrolment key](https://sophie.onlineschool.ca/books/innovations-5-12/page/numeracy-module-enrolment-key) to complete the enrolment steps. - - - When a student is finished with this free tool they can unenrol themselves from the Moodle course by clicking 'Unenrol me from NAM' as seen in the image below.

It also assesses the ability of students to communicate their ideas. GLA 10 is not based on a particular course but on learning across multiple subjects, from kindergarten to Grade 10.
