Build diagnostic and summative financial mathematics assessments for students in Years 7-10 (Grade 7-10). Cover interest, budgeting, loans, and currency, and see exactly where each student needs support before you teach the unit.

Each diagnostic assessment maps a student's grasp of the foundational financial concepts they'll meet across the secondary curriculum: simple and compound interest, percentage change, budgeting, loans, GST and sales tax, and currency conversion. Questions move from straight calculation to applied problem-solving, so you can tell whether a student knows the procedure, the concept, or both.


Assessments are aligned to the Australian Curriculum (v9.0) and to common US state standards for financial literacy and consumer mathematics. Choose digital delivery for real-time marking and analytics, or export printable PDFs for in-class tests. Items are written in plain English with worked-example structure, and every question links back to a specific sub-strand so reporting is meaningful, not just a percentage.
Real-world contexts run through every assessment: comparing phone-plan costs, modelling a savings goal, working out repayments on a small loan, converting currency before a trip. Students apply mathematical reasoning to scenarios they recognise, which is what the curriculum expects and what makes results worth acting on in your next lesson.

The diagnostic surfaces gaps in prior knowledge before you teach the unit. You see which students are comfortable with percentage operations, which are still treating compound interest as repeated simple interest, and which need to revisit decimal place value before any financial work makes sense. The analytics break results down by sub-strand so you can group students or reteach a specific concept without re-marking the paper.
Interactive question types include numerical entry, multiple choice with distractors built around common errors, drag-and-drop for matching scenarios to formulas, and structured short-response items for showing working. Students get immediate feedback on procedural questions and the option to attempt extension problems once they've shown mastery on the core skills.
Once the data is in, the platform suggests a follow-up lesson aligned to the gaps the cohort showed. Re-teach compound interest with a fresh set of worked examples, run a small-group rotation on percentage change, or move the whole class on to loan repayments. The assessment becomes the start of the unit, not the end of it.

Currency, Exchange Rates and GST
Students convert between currencies using live and historical exchange rates, calculate GST or sales tax on goods and services, and work out the best-value option when prices are quoted in different currencies or units. Digital items use live data so the numbers feel current; printable items use fixed scenarios so results are comparable across a class. Both formats test the same underlying skill: applying ratio and percentage reasoning to money problems.
Simple Interest, Compound Interest and Investments
Students work through simple interest, compound interest, and the relationship between the two as time and rate change. They calculate the value of a savings account after a fixed period, compare two investment options, and interpret how compounding frequency affects the final amount. Items distinguish between the formula recall, the substitution, and the interpretation, so the analytics tell you which step is breaking down. Both digital and printable formats include worked-example scaffolds for students who need them and extension problems for students who don't.
Budgeting, Loans and Financial Decision Making
Students build a budget from a given income, calculate repayments on a personal loan or mortgage, compare credit options, and weigh cost against benefit on a real spending decision. The questions mirror situations students will meet as young adults, which gives the unit a clear purpose and helps engagement during a topic that can otherwise feel abstract. Teachers see, item by item, which students can carry out the calculation and which can also interpret what the result means for the decision being made.
