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? Our Measurement & Space Strand Assessments: Year 1 – Semester 1 provide flexible, editable, topic-based assessments aligned with the Year 1 V9 Australian Curriculum. These resources are ideal for tracking student learning, informing your planning, and gathering assessment evidence in a structured and accessible way.

Each assessment is designed to target specific content descriptors from the Measurement and Space strand for Semester One. They include scaffolded and open-ended tasks that allow for differentiation, making them suitable for a variety of learners. Whether you’re using them for whole-class assessments, small group rotations, or one-on-one check-ins, these assessments support meaningful and efficient data collection without overwhelming your students or your planning schedule.

Editable in PowerPoint, this resource gives you full control over the language, instructions, and content to suit the needs of your class or your school’s reporting style. You can use the assessments exactly as provided or adapt them to focus on certain elements. With a clean, easy-to-follow layout, they’re also great for using with support staff, relief teachers, or learning support sessions.
