Year 1 Maths Curriculum, Programs & Resources

Three-Part Structures That Make Maths Fun for All

In an infant school class, you probably notice some bored or distracted faces as you talk to the group. Let’s be honest, it’s natural at that age to lose focus easily. So it becomes even more important to think outside the box and ensure that every lesson is engaging. But rest assured that you don’t have to spend hours thinking of new lesson plans and creating new resources. We have you covered there. With Learning Through Doing, you make learning fun for all.

The structure is simple:

Whole class activity

This introduces the lesson and gives the class a chance to practice their newfound skills in a fun and engaging group environment.

Hands-on activity

In this activity, your pupils can use materials to further investigate the maths to solidify their understanding.

Independent task

This is your chance to assess each pupil’s understanding of the maths concept, showing you where they are excelling and where they may need additional support.

Giving Your Students a Good Foundation

Maths is an essential subject for students to learn. And when you have the privilege of teaching year 1 students, you are forming the foundation for their development. So it’s important to ensure that your lessons are teaching them the essential skills that they need. With Learning Through Doing, you’ll be teaching a comprehensive range of mathematics skills covering:

• Number names, numerals and quantities
• Number partitioning for both one and two-digit numbers
• Skip counting in twos, fives and/or tens
• Addition and subtraction
• Uniform informal units for measurements
• Make, compare and classify shapes and objects

…and much more.

Learning Through Doing resources are split into six strands to mirror the Australian maths curriculum: number, measurement, statistics, algebra, space and probability, and a selection is covered each term to ensure that lessons are varied yet effective.

Why Teachers Love Learning Through Doing

Many teachers around Australia are benefiting from Learning Through Doing for their Year 1 students and for good reason. Our maths resources class for Year 1 have helped countless teachers save time and stress while continuing to deliver good maths lessons day after day.

Each lesson is structured into phases so you can quickly and easily find the resource that you need. And the best part? If your students are struggling in a particular area, you’re able to skip through and find the relevant lesson to recap your teachings as many times as you need. And with a short video alongside each lesson, you can give yourself an overview of the lesson in advance so you know exactly what topics you will be teaching.

Another great benefit of subscribing is the student progression data that you gain access to. And with scope and sequence overview documents, you can easily see how students are progressing through the curriculum.

There is often the misconception that teachers know everything. And as a teacher, you’ll know that you don’t. There is always room to expand your knowledge and pedagogy, which is why we have built Maths Professional Development into each of the lessons. You’ll access a Teacher Background section that provides insight into the maths you’ll be teaching to continuously develop your skills.

Perfect for Individual Teachers or Entire Schools

Our resources are perfect for both individual teachers and entire schools. We understand that your needs as a teacher are unique, which is why we offer individual and whole school subscriptions. If you are looking to boost your personal resources or are just starting out in teaching, an individual subscription can be a great ally. Or, to create consistency throughout the entire school in mathematics, why not sign up as a school? We offer resources that cater to a year 1 curriculum through to a year 6 curriculum, so your school can enjoy consistency for pupils throughout their infant and junior school years.
