Cartoon Place Value Lesson
This cartoon place value lesson (across Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) demonstrates the teacher questioning, the student questioning, the anchor charts, the investigation, inclusive student-led differentiation, assessment, feedback, lesson evaluation, and so much more!
Live Interactive Lesson Demonstration
This Live demonstration lesson (across Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) demonstrates the teacher questioning, the student questioning, the anchor charts, the investigation, inclusive student-led differentiation, assessment, feedback, lesson evaluation, and so much more!
Pedagogy Videos
PEDAGOGY VIDEOS for teaching and learning maths relationally including:
- Relational understanding of mathematical concepts and relationships between concepts
- Socratic strategic questioning to develop mathematical metalanguage to explain understanding
- Collaboratively constructing anchor charts as investigation models
- Each student selects the level that they are ready to investigate to embed assessment as learning
- Each student engages in productive struggle while investigating at their leading edge
- Research-based sequences of learning with both empirical basis and logical basis
- A strategy is efficient if it works in every related situation so that a new strategy is not needed
- Inclusive student-led differentiation
- Authentic growth mindset
- Three types of assessment
- Strategies for less independent students
And more …
Mathematics Videos
These links will take you to quick check-in videos to allow you to check your own understanding and your students’ understanding!
What is Addition? Many simply say, ‘plussing’ or ‘adding’. What do your students say?
What is Subtraction? Many simply say, ‘minussing’ or ‘take-away’.
What do your students say?
What is Metric Length Measurement? Many simply name some of the units.
How do your students describe it?
Wall that Teaches – Addition and Subtraction K-6 Anchor Charts How do you differentiate to ensure every student is investigating at their leading edge – regardless of the range in your class? Could a ‘Wall That Teaches’ help?
Multiplication Division ‘Tables’ or Distributive Property, Related to Fractions Which do your students learn? ‘Tables’ or single-digit multiplication and division using the distributive property, related to fractions as operator and quotient.
What Maths Equipment do Schools Need?
The Maths equipment needed by schools to teach relationally are much less than you would think!
Because teaching and learning maths relationally is not based on multitudes of activities, and because the same equipment is used in multiple years to ensure students recognise the concept, there is likely less equipment needed to teach relationally!
Teaching & Learning Maths Relationally
All Concept Sequences have an empirical and a logical basis, and the levels in one Concept are naturally related to the levels in another concept. Related concepts are best taught and learnt simultaneously.
This PDF demonstrates the relationships between concepts.

What are the Teaching Resources?
This in-person Explainer Video takes you through each of the Teaching Resources, with guidance on how to use them.
How to use the Teaching Resources
Let’s start planning, implementing, and evaluating quality differentiated mathematics lessons, embedding Socratic strategic questioning and assessment of, for, and as learning.
Accessing the Teaching Resources by Grade and by Concept
The Teaching Resources may be accessed in 2 ways – By Grade first to allow us to identify the concept at grade level and then By Concept to identify the concept levels with a logical basis to the grade concept level.
Free Professional Learning
This button provides access to targeted free research- and curriculum-based professional learning, and Professional Learning Courses.
What research are the Teaching Resources and Pedagogy based on?
All Teaching Resources and Pedagogy are based on current learning research – we haven’t made anything up!
To access a summary of the research, and to read each piece of research, select this button.
