This version includes AC Content Description codes.
Combined Teaching Program and Curriculum Grid with suggested level sets A revision or update wil be published in Term 4 2011
Features of the book and terms used in this document: after ACARA releases the Australian Curriculum
Version 2.0.
Australian Curriculum Strand/Substrand Grid (abbreviated as AC)
 Indicates content Strands and Substrands covered by the chapter
 Lists the Content Descriptions, and indicates the inclusion of material consolidating and extending the curriculum.
Note that a more detailed Australian Curriculum Content Description Grid is also available, mapping content descriptions against chapter lesson/topics.
Work Program
 Lesson/topic: The sections numbered in the form 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc., in the textbook are lessons or topics
 Pre-test — collection of questions at the start of the chapter designed to establish prior knowledge
 Lesson/Topic introduction and Let’s Start — information and starter activity to start the lesson
 Key ideas — summary of all lesson knowledge and skills
 Examples — worked and explained example problems
 Proficiency strands and Enrichment in the exercises:  Exercise level sets — suggested allocation of exercise questions into three level sets
o Understanding — developing new ideas, understanding (NB: these are highlighted in the teacher editions)
‘why’ and making connections o Foundation (easiest level questions)
o Fluency — developing skills, recalling knowledge and o Standard (middle level questions)
carrying out procedures o Advanced (hardest level questions)
o Problem-solving — making choices, interpreting,  Interpreting question numbers in the level sets columns — examples:
formulating, modelling and communicating o 3, 4 — do all parts of questions 3 and 4
o Reasoning — analysing, proving, explaining, justifying o 1-4 — do all parts of questions 1, 2, 3 and 4
and generalising o 10(½)— do half of the parts from question 10
o Enrichment — problems that enrich and challenge (a, c, e, ..... or b, d, f, ..... or i, iii, v, .....)
students through all the proficiency strands o 2-4(½)— do half of the parts of the questions 2, 3 and 4
o 4(½), 5 — do half of the parts of question 4 and all parts of question 5
 HOTmaths: a summary of resources which could be used. For full details see the Cambridge HOTmaths integrated program
(http://www.hotmaths.com.au/home/textbookintegration/essentialMathematics/).
Abbreviations used in the table: WDGT: widget, WT: walkthrough, HS: HOTsheet.
 State and Territory Curriculum Grids mapping the series content and the AC to existing state curricula are available on the companion website at
