Multi Age 3-6 Year A Differentiated NSW Maths Assessment Term 1 Mega Bundle

Assess Stage 2 & 3 outcomes from the Term 1 NSW Multi Age 3-6 Year A Maths Sample Unit of Works with Confidence!

These Differentiated Maths Assessments are designed to align seamlessly with the NSW Maths Sample Units of Work for Multi-Age 3-6 Year A, assessing both Stage 2 and Stage 3 outcomes. Carefully crafted to support diverse learners, this resource ensures that all students feel capable and engaged while demonstrating their understanding of key mathematical concepts.

Key Features:

✅ Stage 2 & Stage 3 Differentiation – Designed to cater to a range of abilities within a multi-age setting.
✅ Multiple Formats – Includes an editable Word document, PDF version, and a PDF answer key for easy use and marking.
✅ Aligned with NSW Curriculum – Each question is directly linked to the content markers from the assessment opportunities table in the NSW Maths Sample Units of Work.
✅ Comprehensive & Accessible – Ensures all students can complete the assessment at their level while still challenging those ready to extend their understanding with 3 columns of questions for working below, working at and working above stage outcomes.
✅ Clear, Structured Layout – Questions are designed for clarity, helping students demonstrate their reasoning and problem-solving skills effectively.

If the differentiated option isn’t suitable for your students, you can print the base assessment instead, which includes only the ‘at stage’ questions for a more targeted approach.

Perfect for multi-age classrooms, composite classes, and differentiated instruction, this resource helps teachers assess, support, and extend students while staying aligned with the NSW Mathematics curriculum.

What's Included in the Microsoft Word Unit Assessment:

• 5 separate editable Maths assessments that assess the concepts covered throughout each of the sample units 1 - 5.
• Open ended questions that challenge students and also give them the opportunity to showcase their learning.

What's Included in the Google Sheet Assessment Overview:

• A tab for each of the 5 units for the term.
• Colour coded drop down menus to record: Working towards, achieved, working beyond for each outcome and content marker being assessed throughout the unit.
• Observational notes column for you to add any notes necessary for each student.

• The koala icon identifies the Stage 2 content/assessment. It was chosen as it is an animal that climbs height of the trees, yet also journeys back down to the ground on occasion. This symbolises building on the groundwork and foundations of English to develop deeper knowledge and understanding. Therefore, the Stage 2 assessment pages will be identified by the Koala.
• The kookaburra icon identifies all Stage 3 content/assessment. It was chosen as it is an animal that flies to new heights but also rests on branches of the trees at times. It symbolises extending on what they know, but also coming back to the foundations they were taught to consolidate their learning and then build upon it. Therefore, the Stage 3 assessment pages will be identified by the Kookaburra.

Each assessment includes three columns that indicate a point system:

• First column = 1 point (Below stage level)
• Second column = 2 points (At stage level)
• Third column = 3 points (Above stage level)

Each column is designed to assess different levels of understanding. For example, in a Stage 2, Year 3 assessment:

• First column = Year 2 level questions
• Second column = Year 3 level questions
• Third column = Year 5 questions (for students working above stage outcomes)

How Students Earn Points:

Students can attempt as many sections as they like but will only earn points for the highest-level question they answer correctly.
Example: If a student answers both the first and second columns correctly, they will receive 2 points from the second column.

Scoring and Interpreting Results:

The total assessment score is based on the second column (at stage level), not the third column. This ensures fairness, as students are not expected to achieve above-stage outcomes, but can demonstrate higher-level thinking.

• Any score above the middle column total indicates that a student is achieving beyond stage expectations.
  

Open-Ended Maths Questions:

This section allows students to showcase their understanding in different ways. These responses are not scored with points but are assessed using teacher judgment to determine if a student is working below, at, or above stage level based on their reasoning and explanations.

Encourage students to explain their thinking in detail, especially in the open-ended number section, where they can demonstrate their knowledge without limits and make meaningful connections in mathematics.
