Our Resources Follow the Australian Curriculum

As a teacher, you will know the importance of following the Australian maths curriculum in your lessons, and you can rest assured that our resources do just that. We break our lessons into the six strands of the curriculum and ensure that these are spread across each term to give your lessons variety.

Term 1

In the first term, you’ll cover number, statistics, algebra and space. This will encompass number values, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, number patterns, 3D shapes, collecting data and more. In this term, our resources will introduce your students to new and additional concepts to pave the way for their year 4 skill development.

Term 2

As time progresses into the second term, our lesson plans cover all six strands: number, measurement, statistics, algebra, space and probability. They will work on essential skills such as estimation, perimeter and area, symmetry, chance and algebraic equations to further develop their knowledge.

Term 3

The third term covers number, measurement, statistics, algebra and space, covering money as decimals, angles, time, data representation and more. Our lesson plans enable your students to develop new skills as well as further enhance those that they have already begun to cover.

Term 4

In the final term of year 4, our resources cover number, measurements, statistics and space. They focus on multiplication and division facts, capacity, statistical investigation, maps and more. This term will build upon the skills that they have already developed in the previous terms to finish the year with a well-rounded skillset.

Lesson Plans, Worksheets and Resources That Cater to All

Your students have their own learning styles that need to be catered to to maximise their understanding. But that doesn’t mean you have an abundance of time to create dedicated lesson plans, worksheets and resources that cater to all. That’s where we come in. At Learning Through Doing, you can teach high-quality, impactful lessons with a fraction of the prep time.

Each one of our lesson plans is split into three sections. They begin with a whole group activity to introduce the concept to the group before moving into a hands-on activity where your students can practice their understanding. Finishing with an individual task, you can assess the knowledge level of your Year 4 students to identify who may need further development. It’s simple, structured and consistent to achieve optimal results.

Teachers Love Learning Through Doing

We are a support function to aid your teaching where you need it most. Whether you opt to use our resources and lesson plans for the entire year or as and when you need an extra helping hand, we have you covered.

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.
