Assess your students’ knowledge of data collection, organisation and representation with our ready-to-use Statistics Strand Assessments: Year 2 Semester 1! Designed to align with the V9 Australian Curriculum, this print-and-go resource offers four editable assessment tasks that help you gather meaningful evidence across core statistics topics. With scaffolded questions, real-world contexts and flexible formats, this pack is ideal for assessing understanding in a supportive and structured way.

Each assessment task targets one key topic from the Year 2 Statistics strand – Column Graphs, Experiments, Pictographs and Surveys. Students are guided to collect and sort data, record results using tally marks or tables, and represent information visually through column graphs and pictographs. The tasks are designed to be accessible for a range of learners and include both scaffolded support and optional extension questions. Editable PowerPoint versions allow for easy customisation, ensuring each task aligns with your class needs and learning goals.

Whether you’re assessing at the end of a unit, gathering mid-term data or preparing for reporting and parent-teacher interviews, Statistics Strand Assessments: Year 2 Semester 1 provides flexibility and clarity. Use each task independently or as part of a sequence to monitor learning over time. The inclusion of suggested answers helps to standardise marking and reduce planning load, while editable versions allow you to adapt content or language for different learners. For confident students, extension questions promote deeper analysis and reasoning.

All tasks are print-friendly and can be enlarged to A3 size for students who benefit from extra recording space. Use these assessments alongside our Statistics Strand Tracking Table and Rubric for a streamlined and consistent approach to recording and moderating assessment evidence.
