Comprehensive Maths Programs for Year 5

As a teacher, you’re passionate about the development of your class. You want them to thrive in mathematics and deliver impactful, engaging lessons. But sometimes there is just not enough time in the day to dedicate as much attention as you would like. When you need that extra helping hand, Learning Through Doing is here. By subscribing to our platform, you are gaining access to:

  • Engaging lesson plans

It’s no secret that children have different learning styles. Some might engage better through demonstration, and others prefer to work individually. Our maths resources are designed to cater to all, so every student has the opportunity to thrive. You’ll notice that our lesson plans start with a whole-class demonstration before moving on to a hands-on activity that allows your students to practice the concepts they’re developing. They finish with an individual task that enables you to assess their understanding.

  • Easy-to-follow resources

When time is limited, it’s essential to find the resources you need quickly and efficiently. Our resources are often praised for being both easy to find and easy to follow. You can give yourself a rundown of the lesson ahead of time with our handy video overview, and if your students need some extra support in a particular concept, you can quickly refer back to the plan to repeat your teachings.

  • Consistent programs

The majority of children thrive in consistency and routine. And that’s exactly what you get with Learning Through Doing. Our lessons follow the same plan, so your students know exactly what to expect. They will know that their lesson contains both group activities and individual task work, and that they will feel engaged throughout. And we not only cater to Year 5 but also from foundation through to Year 6, should you choose to maintain your subscription.

  • Professional development opportunities

You will know more than most that development opportunities never end. And that goes for you as well as your students. Our resources also come with professional development opportunities that enable you to deepen your content knowledge and pedagogy in the topics that you are teaching, if you so like.

Offering Individual and Whole School Subscriptions

In an ideal world, your entire school would adopt a consistent approach for teaching mathematics. This will ensure that your students know what to expect from their lessons and respond accordingly. With a whole school subscription from Learning Through Doing, you can achieve just that. And the best part? Using our platform, you can also monitor student progression throughout their infant and junior years. You will see the areas in which they thrive, and the areas where more attention is required.

But we understand that a whole school subscription doesn’t suit everyone, which is why we offer individual subscription packages too. Ensure that you thrive in your career by accessing the support you need, whenever you need it. Our scope and sequence overview documents, our fun and engaging worksheets, and our detailed lesson plans won’t let you down.

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.
