What evidence of learning is required?
The evidence of learning that is collected should enable teachers to make judgements about what individual students know, can do and understand in relation to the selected syllabus outcomes.
The Mathematics K–6 Syllabus (PDF, 201 pages, 960 KB – refer page 140) has more information about assessment and making judgements about student achievement.
In planning assessment opportunities, teachers should be aware of the individual needs of students. Teachers could consider:
- the ways in which individual students communicate
- the time required for individual students to communicate
- the support and/or adjustments required to enable individual students to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to the selected outcomes
- the suitability of one or more assessment strategies for the phase of learning and for the knowledge, skills and understanding that are to be assessed
- the criteria for assessment to be used to make judgements about what individual students know, can do and understand in relation to the outcomes.
