Two week learning sequences
These detailed programs offer a 2-week unit that builds student skills. School staff exercise professional judgement when making decisions about the suitability of teaching and learning activities to meet the needs of their students.
Early Stage 1
Thinking mathematically 1
This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of early number sense in the context of games and investigations. Students will explore quantities, additive situations and various forms of patterning.
Thinking mathematically 2
This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of early number sense through tight, targeted teaching and opportunities to apply skills (contexts for enriching learning such as games and investigations). Students will explore the flexibility of numbers whilst also exploring patterns, multiplicative thinking and aspects of measurement.
Thinking mathematically 3
This sequence of lessons provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of early number knowledge through tight, targeted teaching and opportunities to apply skills (contexts for enriching learning such as games and investigations). Students will explore the flexibility of numbers and operations whilst also exploring patterns and aspects of measurement. These tasks are designed to support learning in these areas through Working Mathematically.

Thinking mathematically 2
This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of number sense through tight, targeted teaching and opportunities to apply skills (contexts for enriching learning such as games and investigations). Students will explore the flexibility of numbers and operations as they explore different ways of solving additive problems. They will also delve into aspects of measurement, shape and multiplicative thinking.
Thinking mathematically 3
This sequence of lessons provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of number knowledge through tight, targeted teaching and opportunities to apply skills (contexts for enriching learning such as games and investigations). Students will explore the flexibility of numbers and operations whilst also exploring patterns and aspects of measurement and space and geometry. These tasks are designed to support learning in these areas through Working Mathematically.
Stage 2
Thinking mathematically 1
This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of number sense in the context of games and investigations. Students will explore key aspects of Number and Algebra including working with numbers in additive and multiplicative situations. The sequence provides opportunities to connect learning between these aspects of Number and Algebra with learning in Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability.

Stage 3
Thinking mathematically 1
This sequence of learning provides opportunities to deepen critical aspects of number sense in the context of games and investigations. Students will explore key aspects of Number and Algebra including working with numbers in additive and multiplicative situations. Students will explore ideas of equivalence in composite units and fractions. The sequence provides opportunities to connect learning between these aspects of Number and Algebra with learning in Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability.

Associated resources
The two-week programs linked above all have related digital student resources and printable student workbooks that are located in our filterable resource library.
You can also find ideas and activities on our Everyday Maths Hub and curated list of external digital resources.
Distance education resources
Access K-6 distance education resources developed to support students that cannot access a physical school.
The Distance education network offers these documents to support teachers delivering off campus learning. They are not designed for all learning contexts and are not anticipated to address all syllabus outcomes.
While the resources support independent student study, they must be used in consultation with their subject teacher.
