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? The Measurement & Space Check-In: Foundation POWERPOINT is the perfect tool to support 1:1 student assessment aligned with the V9 Australian Curriculum.

This resource includes over 70 engaging slides designed to be completed in a 1:1 setting, where the teacher presents each slide using a whiteboard, laptop, or iPad. Students respond verbally, physically, or visually while the teacher records observations. This method allows you to gather meaningful assessment data in an informal, supportive environment.

The assessment slides cover a comprehensive range of Foundation-level skills. You can also print the slides onto A4 pages if digital devices aren’t available, making the resource flexible and accessible for a variety of classroom contexts. For tracking outcomes after the session, pair this resource with our Measurement and Space Check-In Recording Sheets.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Assess student understanding across the full Foundation Measurement and Space strand
• ✅ Use structured slides to prompt verbal and visual student responses
• ✅ Conduct low-pressure, 1:1 assessments that build confidence and provide insight
• ✅ Record student knowledge in real-time for accurate and evidence-based reporting

What’s Included:

• Over 70 PowerPoint slides with clear, student-friendly visuals

Materials Needed:

• Digital device to display PowerPoint slides (laptop, iPad, or whiteboard)
• Printed versions (optional) for offline use
• Recording sheet or observation notes for teacher documentation

How to Use:

• • Sit 1:1 with a student and display each slide in sequence
• • Ask students to respond verbally, demonstrate understanding, or point to answers
• • Take observational notes using a tracking table or checklist
• • Repeat over multiple sessions or group similar skills for shorter check-ins

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during teacher time in maths rotations for a focused 1:1 session
• 💡 Display a few slides at the beginning of a lesson as whole-class warmups
• 💡 Break the resource into sections for use throughout the term
• 💡 Use slides in small groups for guided revision and discussion
• 💡 Print slides as task cards for independent work or review stations

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Laminate printed slides for reuse with whiteboard markers
• 💛 Use manipulatives (shapes, clocks, containers) alongside slides for hands-on engagement
• 💛 Annotate student responses to support future planning and reporting
• 💛 Combine with your existing anecdotal notes or evidence folders for rich data collection
• 💛 Review data after each session to group students for targeted instruction
