Looking for a simple and reliable way to assess your Year 4 students’ understanding of the Statistics & Probability strand? The Statistics & Probability Strand Rubric: Year 4 is a flexible and editable tool that helps you track student achievement against end-of-year expectations, aligned with the V9 Australian Curriculum. Whether you’re preparing for parent-teacher interviews, internal moderation, or reporting, this rubric supports clear, consistent judgements across core statistical concepts.

The rubric breaks down the strand into levelled indicators, written in student-friendly language and mapped to progressive achievement stages. Teachers can use this resource to make evidence-based decisions about student progress, identify next steps, and provide meaningful feedback. With editable PowerPoint formatting, you can customise descriptors to suit your school’s language, assessment scale, or curriculum focus. It’s an ideal tool for both formative and summative use throughout the year.

Designed for flexible implementation, the rubric works well with student work samples, assessment tasks, or classroom observations. You can colour code levels for visual clarity, print large-format copies for moderation discussions, or attach to portfolios as reporting evidence. It also pairs perfectly with our Tracking Table and Assessment Pack for a complete, streamlined assessment approach across the strand.
