Engaging Maths Programs & Lessons for School Teachers

As a teacher, you already know that education is not something you just stop doing when you finish university. Many professions, like teaching, require you to partake in mandatory CPD (Continuing Professional Development) in order to stay up to date with the best practices and to maintain your teaching standards. Staying current with any advancements in your field, enhancing your knowledge on the subject matter or new or revised maths programs and learning different ways to improve your teaching skills will not only benefit you personally and make you a better teacher, but your students will thank you too!

If you have been teaching maths for some time already, you will understand that your students are individuals and each one has a unique learning method that suits them best. Exploring different teaching styles can help your students get the most out of their lessons with you and improve your teaching skills, so partaking in online maths programs in Australia is a great way to gain knowledge and CPD hours.

While traditional methods for mathematics teaching with lecture-based lessons, memorisation and testing can be effective for foundational knowledge and skill development, the most successful type of learning is experimental learning, or learning by doing, where the student actively participates in their learning, making it more engaging and memorable.

Maths Classes for Teachers

Passive learning, like listening to a lecture or reading textbooks, can certainly have its place in teaching and learning, but active learning is much more engaging, and information is much more readily digested when you have had a lively discussion about it, practice by doing something or try to teach it to someone else. If you want to deliver a lively and interesting maths lesson to your students, then we have the ideal method that uses high-quality resources and practical teaching tools.

As a busy teacher we know that you don’t want to have even more of your precious spare time taken up with planning or preparing lessons, that’s why our user-friendly platforms and the tools we use for hands-on learning techniques will help you quickly build strong mathematical foundations with engaging approaches that will bring great results to your classroom. Our online maths programs are not only easy to follow but are designed to save you time on planning and preparing for classes as you build your content knowledge, and there is no need to waste extra time trying to find content, as you will have it all at your fingertips.

Upskill Your Teaching Approach

We use a step-by-step approach that is both structured and hands-on to support learning in a way that challenges the traditional worksheet-based methods. All of our lessons come with a small video that models the lessons to show you how the lesson actually works in action and goes over the lesson plan, and prepares any resources that are needed. Our lesson plans use hands-on learning activities and specifically designed worksheets to help you through, and our ‘how to’ videos are a great way to learn and relearn skill sets. Our maths courses are designed by people who have been highly skilled classroom teachers and who fully understand the difficulties faced when you are trying to engage with a variety of different students in a maths lesson. 

We have done the planning so you don’t have to; you can concentrate on revolutionising your maths teaching using our detailed lessons and engaging activities, to help your students build confidence and master maths once and for all.

Promoting Pedagogical Practices

Maths seems to be a big problem for many students in the schooling system in Australia today, so by improving teacher content knowledge and pedagogical practices, together we can create a better system where no student gets left behind. Making your maths lesson more exciting means your students will enjoy each lesson and look forward to the next one, and you will enjoy teaching these active, hands-on lessons too.

When you sign up for our maths programs for schools, you will receive yearly overviews for each year level that cover the Australian content and proficiencies, and our documents provide a whole-school plan for mathematics. The detailed lesson plans are supported by visual models and physical involvement and are designed to engage the whole class in activities to challenge their mathematical skill set. We will provide you with resources and worksheets that are specific to each lesson, and checklists to monitor students’ development across the year levels. 

Your teachers will thank you when they have more time and energy on their hands, and your students will thank you when they begin to understand and enjoy maths and start getting results!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a lesson on a particular topic on the website?2020-04-11T09:44:58+10:00

LTD lessons are organised according to the strands of the Australian Curriculum – Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability. Within each strand is a topic menu and within each topic is a list of lessons. Each lesson title describes the Maths in the lesson. Lessons are organised on the webpage in a suggested teaching sequence within each topic.

Is Learning Through Doing just for Australian schools?2020-04-11T09:44:11+10:00

Learning Through Doing is based in Australia but the mathematics in our lessons is universal. LTD lessons are currently linked to the Australian Curriculum but these can certainly be linked to the Curriculum documents of other countries.

The website says there is Maths Professional Development built into the lessons. What does this mean?2020-04-11T09:43:33+10:00

All LTD lessons include a list of the maths concepts that are the focus of the lesson. They also include a brief Teacher Background section aimed at providing some insight into the Maths in the lesson. The intention of these sections is to teach the teacher something they may not have realised about the maths in the lesson. LTD lessons also model an inquiry approach so teachers can learn about this way of teaching as they become familiar with the lessons. The LTD team can also present dedicated Professional development to schools on request.

I am a parent home schooling my daughter. Would LTD be suitable for me as I have no teaching background?2020-04-11T09:42:55+10:00

LTD lessons have been written so they are accessible to parents as well as teachers. Each lesson provides some background to the maths being taught and the lessons are detailed so each step makes sense. The resources mentioned in lessons can be swapped for things around the home e.g. dry pasta instead of counters.

Is there a Scope and Sequence to show lesson progression across year levels?2020-04-11T09:41:46+10:00

Yes, LTD lessons are carefully organised so learning in each topic progresses across year levels. We have Scope and Sequence overview documents for Foundation to Yr 2; Year 2 to Year 4 and Year 4 to Year 6.

Is LTD organised as a whole school program for Mathematics?2020-04-11T09:40:58+10:00

LTD has written Year Overviews for grades Foundation to Year 6 with a term by term suggested teaching sequence for the LTD lessons all linked to the Australian Curriculum.

Students in my class are working below their year level expectations. Can LTD lessons help me to support their learning?2020-04-11T09:40:17+10:00

LTD lessons are organised into ‘phases’ within each topic. The lessons are listed in order so if there is a concept your students need you can track backwards to find a lesson to help them.

Is there a way to get an overview of a lesson without reading the whole document?2020-04-11T09:39:34+10:00

Each lesson has a short video that models each lesson. The video briefly describes the three parts of the lesson.

Can I access LTD lessons as an individual teacher or does my school have to sign up?2020-04-11T09:38:51+10:00

Access to the LTD website can be by individual subscription or whole school subscription.

My school uses a textbook for Maths. Can I get other ideas from LTD?2020-04-11T09:38:23+10:00

LTD lessons can be used to supplement existing school programs. LTD lessons are organised using the same topics as most curriculum documents/commercial programs.

How are LTD lessons different to lessons in other online Maths programs?2020-04-11T09:37:52+10:00

All Learning Through Doing lessons have a three-part pedagogical structure. They start with a Whole Class activity followed by a Hands-On activity where students use materials to further investigate the maths and each lesson has an Independent task that is directly related to the lesson that can be used for assessment or for follow up.
