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 Check-In Flashcards: Foundation is the perfect resource for quick, practical, and observation-based assessment.

This set of over 70 flashcards is designed to be used in a 1:1 setting, making it easy for you to assess understanding through verbal responses, pointing, demonstrations, or short conversations. Simply print the cards, cut them out, and attach them to a metal ring for easy organisation and portability. These flashcards are ideal for informal or formal check-ins and can be used alongside your existing observations and assessment tasks.

Students respond to the flashcards while you record observations or responses on paper, digitally, or using our Measurement and Space Check-In Recording Sheet. You can work through all flashcards across several sessions or focus on individual skill sets, depending on your assessment schedule or student needs.
