A separate Applied (Essential) senior pathway starter: ten teacher-ready, 25-minute ratio lessons (Days 1–10). Essential Mathematics is one Queensland senior subject choice; this pack does not imply every student takes it or replace General Mathematics. Read the teacher scripts, give learners Cards A–G and any of 20 optional practice swaps. The Day 5 and Day 10 formative check prompts have a separate public teacher-targeted key. A public key makes them unsuitable as secure exams; collect first work before feedback and change values if prior access matters.
Five original A4 SVG/PDF aids with exact accessible text and tactile routes support object, diagram, large-print and oral/AAC responses. The offline ratio lab shows equivalent ratios and fixed-total splits with complete text feedback and a paper equivalent. No account, internet connection, purchase or personal data is needed. Its interactivity is optional; the maths target remains the same on paper.
The current official source is QCAA Essential Mathematics 2025 v1.3, Unit 1 Number, data and money, Fundamental topic Calculations, Topic 1 Number, first subtopic Ratios (7 hours). This starter totals 4 hours 10 minutes, so coverage is partial. See the dated source and row crosswalk, rights ledger, source snapshot, desk run-through and hash verifier. EM-U1-T1-R is a local navigation label, not a QCAA code. The materials have been desk-run, not trialled with a real class or approved as school assessment.
