From lesson planning to teaching, assessing work to attending meetings, your schedule is jam-packed. It would be fair to say that time can be pretty limited as a teacher, which is why we offer the support that you need. Say goodbye to long hours and last-minute stresses and hello to Learning Through Doing.

We understand that it can be hard to retain the attention of your Year 2 students. At that age, distractions are plenty. So, the need for fun yet effective teaching practices is essential. That’s where we come in. With our range of programs, worksheets and lesson plans, you can make maths programs for Year 2 engaging for all. Read More

A Comprehensive Range of Resources

Our platform is designed to provide you with a comprehensive range of maths resources to support you in your career. No matter whether you have been teaching for one year or twenty, Learning Through Doing has everything you need.

Programs

Our step-by-step programs are perfect for all pupils at every stage of their development. Following the six strands of the Australian math curriculum: number, algebra, measurement, space, statistics and probability, our programs provide a consistent approach to teaching maths.

Worksheets

We understand that it can be tiresome and time-consuming to create engaging worksheets time and time again that keep your students challenged. With Learning Through Doing, you can say goodbye to this effort and utilise our ready-made range of worksheets in your lessons.

Lesson plans

Split into three sections that encompass both group activities and individual task work, you can cater to all learning styles while assessing the progress of your Year 2 pupils. You can introduce the lesson with a whole group activity, allow your students to practice their understanding with a hands-on activity and then test their knowledge with an individual task.

Teaching The Year 2 Fundamentals

Year 2 is the time where pupils expand their number knowledge to 1000, use mathematical modelling, determine the number of days between events using a calendar, learn to read the time on an analogue clock, compare and classify shapes, identify and represent part-whole relationships of halves, quarters and eights in measurement contexts and much more. Here at Learning Through Doing, we have taken the skills that your pupils should develop and provided handy lesson plans and resources for you to follow throughout the year. We break down the skills into the six strands of the Australian curriculum to provide an even variety of topics throughout the year.

As a teacher, half the battle is breaking down concepts into easily digestible lessons. When you sign up to our platform, this battle is a thing of the past. We’ve done the hard work for you so you can focus on what matters the most: teaching your Year 2 pupils mathematics.

Why Every Teacher Needs a Subscription

Revolutionise the way that you teach maths with Learning Through Doing. Gone are the days of late nights and early mornings frantically trying to get everything together for your Year 2 maths lesson. Stay ahead of the curve with a subscription to our platform. When you sign up, you are choosing:

  • Easy-to-follow resources

Our resources are designed to be both easy to locate and easy to follow. Give yourself a rundown of the lesson plan ahead of time with a short video overview, then follow the same three steps in every lesson: whole class activity, hands-on activity and an independent task. And if some students need an extra helping hand, you can easily refer back to the lesson to recap or repeat your teachings.

  • Consistent teaching practices

It’s no secret that students thrive with routine and consistency. So why not subscribe your entire school to Learning Through Doing? Covering all years from foundation through to year 6, you can ensure consistency as your students progress through both their infant and junior school years. And what’s more, you can also monitor their achievements with dedicated statistics. Simple to set up, easy to follow – and it’s all in one place.

  • Professional development

Even as a teacher, there is always room for growth and development, which is why we include a Professional Development section in each of our lesson plans. This is aimed at deepening your content knowledge and pedagogy, should you wish to.

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.
