Exact Year 1 content-code existence, content-description scope and Year 1 number range to at least 120.

National-code check
The original English, maths and integrated core was checked for exact content_description matches in products/curriculum-studio/data/frameworks/acara-v9.json, imported from the pinned ACARA workbook: 37 distinct codes, all matched. The supplementary crosswalk independently verifies 42 exact codes across Science, HASS, HPE and five Arts forms. The Technologies Weeks 3–4 crosswalk verifies 14 Years 1–2 band codes. The English Weeks 3–4 and Weeks 5–6 crosswalks each verify 10 Year 1 English codes. These sets overlap and are not additive unique-code totals. Weeks 1–6 have paired English/mathematics daily drafts; integrated Weeks 1–4 are authored, while most later weeks remain planning labels.

Mechanical and content checks
- 40 consecutive weekly rows in the planning map. Weeks 1–6 have paired authored English and mathematics; Weeks 1–4 have integrated 35-minute sessions; later rows are largely briefs.
- Thirty maths daily headings, Days 1–30, and thirty English daily headings, Days 1–30. Subject packs verify 25-minute budgets for each day; Week 5–6 scripts retain separate matched-route reading and fresh checks.
- Four integrated guides, five days each, all session budgets total 35 minutes. Weeks 3–4 include two longer Technologies assignments with separate rubrics.
- Local Markdown file targets checked to resolve; subject and root SHA-256 manifests check each authored file without self-hashing.
- Maths context-card totals and all assessment keys recomputed from tens and ones. Zero, decade exchanges and 34/43 digit order receive explicit teaching in the opening fortnight. Weeks 3–4 have 30 original contexts, fresh checks and an inspected 51–90 print chart. Weeks 5–6 add 30 different 91–120 contexts, two fresh checks and an inspected chart; this now practises the
AC9M1N01at least 120 range. It does not imply that one short sequence proves the full code or achievement standard.AC9M1N02partitions only one- and two-digit numbers. - Supplementary Weeks 1–2 pack: 40 optional 12-minute blocks, 40 separate learner cards and teacher keys/next moves, four original SVG/PDF aids with text alternatives, 68 checked local links and 28 checked file hashes. Its verifier passed. A fictional HASS place card is not local-place evidence; HPE movement and Arts performance/media codes need observation in the named mode, not only a paper plan.
- Opening interactive studios: 12 original 0–50 maths cards and 12 English word/story cards, with a complete no-screen print route and separate teacher key. Eight tests passed with the installed browser/accessibility tooling, including keyboard and touch, direct offline file opening, 320 px at 150% display, print contrast, no HTTP requests and automated axe scans with zero findings in tested states. This is a desk and browser check, not a classroom or screen-reader user study. Maths values overlap some earlier formative prompts, so choose an unused value and task for fresh transfer evidence.
- English phoneme counts reviewed word by word:
sh/chone phoneme with two letters;st/ndtwo phonemes. Capitalised names use taught correspondences;aandisare flagged for separate explicit teaching. Teacher-read story is not assigned as independent decodable reading. Fresh transfer words are held back from prior strips. - English Weeks 3–4 verifier checked 45 controlled practice lines and 11 check/edit lines word by word against their route/day ledger. The Day 16–20
ckpath is conditional on the school phonics scope; a complete cumulative route is supplied when it is not next. Held-out words stay out of prior modelling and practice. The original A4 five-sound-box aid has a text/tactile equivalent and was visually inspected. - English Weeks 5–6 verifier checked 40 distinct child practice lines, four route-specific held-out lines, ten exact Year 1 codes, 38 local links, A4 SVG/PDF/text alternatives and the word ledger. Two original stories are adult-read, and
ckremains optional and school-gated. Individual checks are staggered across stations rather than imagined as 30 private interviews in one 25-minute block. - Weeks 3–4 Technologies verifier checked ten integrated sessions, ten fictional source cards, two assignments with rubrics, 14 exact band codes, two A4 aids, 64 links and 16 hashes. Paper algorithm design is not scored as observed digital-system operation, and an invented user quote is not real fieldwork.
- Integrated inquiry keeps fictional/model data distinct from real observations; science outcomes are recorded from the actual activity, with no fabricated distances. School safety, privacy, local cultural authority and response access are explicit.
Remaining review gates
An experienced Year 1 teacher must confirm feasibility with a real class and school calendar, phonics scope, inclusive adjustments and local assessment expectations. An EAL/D and accessibility reviewer should check the word/text entry path and response options. The school must inspect any actual local place or activity for safety, permissions and cultural protocols. No translation is authored or certified. No learner data belongs in this public tree. These checks should precede any claim of full classroom readiness.
