What the test checks
Marks by strand: Number 19, Algebra 4, Measurement 6, Space 3 (of 32). Questions worth 2 marks need two steps or some working, so give a mark for a correct method with a slip in the final answer.
| Code | Strand | What it asks for | Practised by |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC9M4N06 | Number | Efficient computation strategies. Choose efficient strategies and suitable digital tools to solve problems with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, where division has no remainder. | Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication |
| AC9M4N07 | Number | Estimate to check answers. Use estimation and rounding to check and explain whether calculations are reasonable, including the results of money transactions. | Rounding |
| AC9M4N08 | Number | Model money and number problems. Use mathematical modelling for practical adding and multiplying problems, including money, by writing number sentences, choosing strategies and explaining the answer in context. | Word Problems |
| AC9M4A02 | Algebra | Facts to 10 x 10. Build fluency with multiplication facts up to ten by ten and the related division facts, and use them for efficient mental strategies with larger numbers. | Fact Families |
| AC9M4M03 | Measurement | Duration, am and pm. Solve problems about how long things take, including am and pm times and converting between units of time. | Elapsed Time |
| AC9M4SP02 | Space | Grid references. Create and read grid reference systems, using grid references and directions to describe positions and pathways. | Coordinates |
What to check alongside it
A written test cannot hold every Year 4 skill. These strands need a graph, a picture, a clock face or a drawn shape, so assess them with a worksheet or a hands-on task instead:
- Statistics (AC9M4ST01, AC9M4ST02, AC9M4ST03)
- Probability (AC9M4P01, AC9M4P02): Year 4 probability worksheets
Using the results
- Record the score by section, not just the total. A student with full marks on number but none on elapsed time needs different help from one who lost a mark in every section.
- Sections where most of the class dropped marks are the topics to revisit in the last weeks of term or to pass on to next year's teacher, with the AC9 code attached.
- Give Version A as a pre-test in Term 3 and Version B at the end of Term 4 to see growth on the same skills without students remembering the questions.
Revise before the test
- Year 4 daily maths review: a term of mixed warm-ups on the same content descriptions.
- Year 4 maths worksheets for any topic the test shows needs more practice.
- Test builder to make a shorter topic test with its own marking key.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Year 4 end-of-year maths test cover?
8 sections and 24 questions worth 32 marks, drawn from 6 Year 4 content descriptions in the Australian Curriculum (v9). Each section heading shows its AC9 code, so you can see exactly what each part checks.
Is the marking key correct?
Yes. Every question is generated in code and its answer is computed from the same numbers, so the marking key cannot contain a guessed or mistyped answer. Mark totals are added up in code too.
Why are there three versions?
Versions A, B and C use the same sections, question types and marks with different numbers. Use one as a pre-test and another at the end of the year, or give a different version to a student sitting it late.
Does it cover every strand?
It covers Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space. Statistics and Probability questions need a graph, a picture or a drawn shape, which a plain text test cannot hold, so check those with the matching Year 4 worksheets listed on this page.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. Open the test in the test builder to change topics, the number of questions or the marks for each section, then print your own version with its own marking key.
