Are you looking for a way to capture your students’ Measurement and Space strand knowledge in the lead-up to reporting or parent-teacher interviews? Our Measurement & Space Strands Assessments: Foundation Semester 1 are designed to help you track student understanding across the first half of the year in a flexible, teacher-friendly way.

This resource includes editable assessments for each key topic from the Foundation V9 Australian Curriculum. Each assessment is two pages long and includes visual, hands-on, and verbal response prompts designed specifically for early learners. To support differentiation, the first page of each assessment features simpler questions—ideal for use with support students or as a pre-assessment tool.

Editable yellow text boxes are provided on the left side of each slide to guide you on which areas can be customised. You can change wording, format, or activity types to suit your students, school expectations, or state-specific reporting frameworks.
