DIFFERENTIATION
In any class, there will be a range of maths understanding.
Because maths is conceptually based, and understanding of one level of a concept is needed to understand the next level and related concepts, differentiation is essential!

TESTIMONIALS
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all the work and effort that has obviously gone into 'A Learning Place'. It's an incredible resource and something I was more than happy to subscribe to.
I am a Year 1 teacher at a school in Brisbane QLD. This year our school decided to no longer teach from a text book, however we haven't had the kind of planning that you have done to underpin/support what we are doing in the classroom. I personally have found this incredibly frustrating as I come from a specialist background and my planning for that subject was impeccable.
What I am so super excited about is that you have done EXACTLY what I envision for our maths program.
Cherie Meale, Classroom Teacher
I have been using your website for over a year now and the students have raved about what they can do and the deep understanding they have now got. Other teachers have noticed as well.
Harjit Birdee, Teacher
The website is awesome. It is has everything parents, teachers and schools
need to encourage thinking, reasoning young mathematicians. Thnx.

Outstanding Student Achievement Using A Learning Place A Teaching Place!
These graphs, from My School website, show the results and improvement Fairfield Heights PS, who have been focusing their Mathematics teaching and learning using A Learning Place A Teaching Place for 4 years, changing the way they teach and understand maths. So good are their results, they were featured on SBS World News on 5 March 2015.
We have been using your new website and we LOVE it. So easy to navigate ... thank you!
Deanne Witchard, Assistant Principal, Department of Education
We are small schools but very complicated in terms of mathematics delivery. For instance, I will officially be teaching years 4/5/6 but I know there are some children still operating at Year 2 level. Very complex in terms of planning and delivery and your site is so amazing in terms of differentiation and resourcing. Let alone being research based. You are ticking all the boxes in my past and present experience!!!!
I am an experienced and dedicated teacher and am seriously impressed!!
Janelle Kirk, Teacher
We have been teaching the Year 5 conversion of length... WOW the links are amazing... never taught this well until now... you should see our kids- they understand it!!! YEAH!!!
