Exact Year 4 code/level and content-description scope; AC9M4N01 covers decimal tenths/hundredths, AC9M4N03 related fraction equivalence, AC9E4LA02 opinion versus factual reporting, AC9S4U02 water-cycle processes and AC9S4U04 material properties. | Lesson sequence and examples are original, partial teaching choices. Codes are not a statement that achievement standards have been met. |
| ACARA copyright and terms | ACARA website material is generally CC BY 4.0 unless excluded; logos, photographs, videos, teacher-support resources and some third-party material have separate terms. Attribution and non-endorsement apply. | No excluded ACARA graphic or work sample is embedded; the original pack has a separate CC BY 4.0 grant. |
| QCAA ACiQ Version 9.0 | Queensland implementation entry point for checking a school syllabus. | National mapping is not a statement about every state's timetable or local reporting. |
| AERO explicit instruction practice guide | Clear modelling, guided practice and response checks in the lesson format. | The new scripts are not trialled or AERO-rated. |
| AERO writing paragraphs guide | Explicit topic/detail/closing or limit paragraph planning and feedback. | No specific student outcome is inferred from use of the guide. |
| Bureau of Meteorology evaporation dictionary and cloud explanation | Liquid-to-vapour process at a surface and condensation contributing to tiny cloud droplets. | The original diagram is a simplified possible route, not a copied image, a local observation or complete hydrology. |

National-code audit
Every AC9... token in this Year 4 tree was matched to either a Year 4 or the relevant Years 3 and 4 band content_description record in the pinned local canonical import products/curriculum-studio/data/frameworks/acara-v9.json. 98 distinct codes matched: 62 Year 4 and 36 band codes; 0 invalid or wrong-level codes. This is an inventory of code references, not a count of descriptions fully taught. The 40-week map uses codes as planning labels for Weeks 5–40, which remain unauthored. The supplementary crosswalk ties its 51 selected codes to exact source rows and the particular short teaching moves.

The opening table records the original Year 4 English/mathematics/Science planning set. The new supplementary pack adds Year 4 Science AC9S4U03, seven Year 4 HASS codes, and official Years 3 and 4 band descriptions: 10 HPE, 11 Technologies and 15 Arts. Each supplementary code has an exact row, wording and partial-use boundary in its own crosswalk. The root total includes both authored-pack codes and future planning labels, so it must not be represented as taught coverage.
Mechanical and content checks
- Forty consecutive map weeks; Weeks 1–4 marked with authored daily English and mathematics. Weeks 1–2 have integrated Science scripts; Weeks 3–4 have a narrow ten-day exhibit studio.
- Mathematics and English Days 1–20 each. The opening scripts and the separate Weeks 3–4 pack verifiers check each subject's 25-minute budgets, links, source rows and hashes.
- Integrated Week 1 and Week 2 each contain five 35-minute days with explicit sums.
- All local Markdown targets and heading anchors resolve. Subject-pack and root SHA-256 manifests check each file without attempting to hash themselves.
- Mathematics card and assessment keys were recomputed using equal wholes: 0.4=0.40, 0.10=1/10, 1.05<1.50, and 0.5>0.47 by 0.03. Unseen transfer cards remain reserved until Day 10.
- Original decimal and water-cycle SVGs were rendered to PNG and visually inspected for legibility, low ink, labels and clear model limits. Both have text alternatives in adjacent Markdown.
- English source details are internally consistent with the original fictional cards; inference/opinion and source-supported model description remain separate. Card D is reserved for transfer. No actual school, people or use data is asserted.
- The Weeks 3–4 English pack adds ten lessons, thirty core routes, optional extras, seven original source cards and two held-out checks with private next moves. Its exact fifteen-code crosswalk and desk review keep adult-read meaning distinct from independent reading evidence.
- The Weeks 3–4 mathematics pack adds ten lessons, thirty routes and held-out decimal-line/fifths checks. Its source ledger and verifier check the two proposed codes, equal-whole models, arithmetic, two original A4 aids, text alternatives, links and hashes.
- The integrated exhibit project adds ten 35-minute blocks, clean cards, private next moves and an original A4 SVG/PDF/text mat. Its verifier checks six exact Year 4 descriptions, timings, arithmetic, links and hashes. The desk review records a clipped print title that was corrected; no real child or visitor testing is claimed.
- The five-area supplementary menu adds 50 optional 12-minute blocks, 15 separate teacher/learner/staff pages, five original A4 SVG/PDF/text aids and a self-contained offline Rule Lab. Its verifier checks all 51 exact source rows, timing, local links, hashes and program reset/run cases. The desk review records simulated teacher, learner, family and reviewer use; actual movement, media production, music and visual-program execution must be observed before claiming those outcomes.
- Science Week 1 outcomes are left blank for actual observations. Week 2 paper model accurately labels evaporation, condensation and precipitation as distinct processes; no real weather outcome is invented.
Remaining human review
An experienced Year 4 teacher must check classroom feasibility, sequence against the school's adopted syllabus, learner entry points and local assessment. A science/safety reviewer should inspect live materials and any supplementary demonstration. Accessibility/EAL/D review should check text access and response options. Local/cultural review is needed before introducing any actual Country/Place, waterway, language or community evidence. No translations have been authored or certified. These four weeks have not been trialled with a class; Weeks 5–40, fuller Weeks 3–4 other-subject teaching and Languages remain unauthored.
