Are you looking for a way to confidently capture your students’ Measurement and Space strand knowledge in the lead-up to reporting or parent-teacher interviews? The Measurement & Space Check-In: Year 1 POWERPOINT is the perfect tool for conducting engaging, one-on-one assessment sessions aligned with the V9 Australian Curriculum.

This resource contains over 80 interactive slides that walk students through all key content areas of the Measurement and Space strand. Designed for 1:1 teacher-led assessment, it allows you to display the slides on your whiteboard, laptop, or iPad while students respond verbally or physically. You record their responses and understanding as they go—making this a powerful observation-based tool for assessing conceptual understanding in a low-pressure environment.

You can also adapt this resource for whole-class use by selecting individual slides to use as warm-up activities, revision prompts, or discussion starters. For added flexibility, slides can be printed and used as a hands-on task if digital devices are not available. This makes it ideal for differentiated classrooms where both tech-based and paper-based assessment strategies are in play.
