Download judging standards in year 4 - K-10 Outline

Assessment pointers validate teachers’ professional judgement when reporting against a
five-point scale. The pointers:
JUDGING STANDARDS IN YEAR 4

are examples of evidence in relation to the achievement standard

should be used with the annotated student work samples

exemplify what students may demonstrate rather than a checklist of everything they
should do.
MATHEMATICS
YEAR 4 MATHEMATICS ACHIEVEMENT STANDARD
Number and Algebra
At Standard, students use the properties of odd and even numbers. They recall multiplication facts to 10 x 10 and related division facts. Students continue number sequences
involving multiples of single-digit numbers. They choose appropriate strategies for calculations involving multiplication and division. Students locate familiar fractions on a
number line. They recognise common equivalent fractions in familiar contexts and make connections between fraction and decimal notations up to two decimal places.
Students solve simple purchasing problems. They describe number patterns resulting from multiplication. Students identify and explain strategies for finding unknown
quantities in number sentences.
Measurement and Geometry
Students use scaled instruments to measure temperatures, lengths, shapes and objects. They compare areas of regular and irregular shapes using informal units. Students solve
problems involving time duration. They convert between units of time. Students interpret information contained in maps. They create symmetrical shapes and patterns. They
classify angles in relation to a right angle.
Statistics and Probability
Students list the probabilities of everyday events. They identify dependent and independent events. Students describe different methods for data collection and representation
and evaluate their effectiveness. They construct data displays from given or collected data.
