Status: ten fully authored 25-minute lessons for Days 11–20. The existing opening fortnight covers Days 1–10. Weeks 5–40 remain planning prompts unless separately authored and checked. A school can use these activities as a flexible block; this pack does not certify national or local full-year coverage.

Week Question from the year map Mathematical work Partial ACARA v9 Year 3 links
3 · Days 11–15 What makes a direction easy to follow? interpret, create and test top-view representations and relative landmarks AC9M3SP02
4 · Days 16–20 How can a number be renamed? five-digit naming/zero, place exchange, then three-digit addition and subtraction using regrouping AC9M3N01, AC9M3N03

  1. Teacher scripts: ten distinct 25-minute sessions with prompt, model, guided attempt, one learner choice, exit and evidence note.
  2. Learner cards: three genuinely different practice/application routes per day. Give learners this file or selected cards, not the staff key.
  3. Learner checks: new Day 15 map and Day 20 numbers. Open only on those days. Staff keys, rubric and next moves stay separate.
  4. A4 top-view map aid, A4 exchange aid, and their complete text/tactile equivalents.
  5. Exact curriculum crosswalk, sources/rights and review, desk walkthrough, read-only verifier and hash manifest.

Low-material setup: draw five columns A–E and five rows 1–5, make place cards from scrap paper, and use 10-strips/100-squares or labelled paper discs. For a ten-thousand, a labelled envelope of ten thousand-cards is more manageable than 10,000 loose pieces; the child must still explain the exchange. Physical, tactile, large-print, spoken, signed, typed and AAC responses can show the same maths. A partner can move objects exactly as a learner directs. At home, use the fictional maps and stock cards; no real home plan, spending or family data is required. The teacher can adapt number magnitude, layout, cultural context and response mode after checking the mathematical goal.

The garden courtyard and all stock quantities are fictional. This is not a real school route, environmental claim or First Nations place account. Do not substitute an actual school site or community-held material without local source, access, safety and cultural review.
