Purpose The assessments within the checkpoints have been designed to be implemented within everyday classroom practice. They provide opportunities for children to demonstrate the targeted indicators within learning areas. Assessment of young children is an integral part of the learning–teaching process and is not a separate activity. Assessment involves the purposeful, systematic and ongoing monitoring of children’s learning. The information gathered is used for future planning and to make judgments about a child’s learning. June assessment June is the second monitoring point in the Year 1 Assessment: Literacy and Numeracy Checkpoints. are four numeracy assessments for June. This assessment and the indicators it targets are indicated in bold text in the table below.
