If you want to see engaged faces, raised hands, and improved grades, then Learning Through Doing is the platform for you. With our maths programs for year 6 students, you can make the most of every lesson.

Work smarter, not harder, to ensure that your students achieve their fullest potential in mathematics. Our comprehensive lesson plans, worksheets and other resources give you everything you need to deliver high-quality lessons each and every time. They are easy to find, easy to follow and adhere to the Australian maths curriculum for year 6 students to make teaching both efficient and effective. Read More

Teaching All 6 Strands of the Australian Curriculum

Ensuring that your students learn everything within the maths curriculum doesn’t have to be challenging when you have the support of Learning Through Doing. We have broken our resources into the six strands of the Australian curriculum to ensure students digest a variety of maths content each term.

  • Number

Across the four terms, our lesson plans cover every topic that year 6 students should learn, including fractions, decimals and percentages, prime and composite numbers, multiplicative reasoning, integers on number lines and much more.

  • Measurement

The measurement topics that you will find in our resources include units of measure, perimeters, areas of rectangles, units of time in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats and more.

  • Statistics

The statistics content knowledge on our platform teaches statistical investigation as well as how to collect, represent and interpret data.

  • Algebra

Algebraic topics that our lesson plans cover include multi-step, mixed operation and multiple operation equations, number patterns, square numbers and function rules with variables for well-founded content knowledge.

  • Space

The space content knowledge that you will find at Learning Through Doing covers cross sections of 3D shapes, transformations, angle relationships, tessellation, the Cartesian plane and more.

  • Probability

The sixth strand, probability, continues to develop your students’ understanding of chance throughout their final year of junior school.

Deliver Lessons That Cater to Every Learning Style

As a teacher, you will be familiar with the signs of a successful lesson. The raised hands, the willingness to participate and the engaged faces as they learn the concept you are teaching, to name just a few. With Learning Through Doing by your side, you will see these signs lesson after lesson.

Just one of the reasons why teachers love our platform is the variety of learning styles that we incorporate. It is no secret that each student has their own learning style, and that these are fully rounded by the time they reach year 6. So, in order to deliver a successful lesson, you need to accommodate them all. And our lesson plans have you covered. You will notice that they each start with a whole-class activity to introduce the lesson before moving onto a hands-on activity where your students can really practice their understanding. The individual assessment section then allows you to test their abilities and identify those who may need an extra helping hand. Lessons are structured and effective, each and every time.

Enjoy Unlimited Support at Learning Through Doing

We understand the time, energy and stress that goes into teaching your mathematics classes. The late nights spent marking and the early mornings spent setting up your day are never-ending. If, like many other teachers, you want to reduce the time that you dedicate to your maths lessons without compromising on the quality of your lessons, we have you covered.

Our resources are easy to find and easy to follow for your convenience. Simply locate the resources on our platform, then watch the short overview video to recap the topic of the lesson. And no matter the concept that you are focusing on, you can rest assured that our lesson plans and worksheets are both relevant and comprehensive.

With individual subscriptions and whole school subscriptions, you can choose a package that best suits your needs. Sign up as an entire school for a consistent approach to teaching mathematics, or as an individual for some independent support. Covering not only year 6 mathematics but from foundation all the way through, you can utilise Learning Through Doing for all of your infant and junior school students.

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.
