Challenging Mathematical Tasks
Extending the potential of all students
Challenging Mathematical Tasks supports the idea that students learn best when they work on problems that they don’t yet know how to solve. Research shows that many students welcome challenges in mathematics, rather than fear them. And rather than having teachers instruct them, they prefer to work out solutions for themselves. Students require sustained concentration and effort to build connections between mathematical concepts, and to be able to transfer skills and understanding to practical concepts. Challenging tasks encourage all students to persist and succeed in their learning.
The book comprises:
y activities that allow for sustained thinking, decision-making and risktaking by students, and align with the Australian Curriculum (V9)
y learning sequences with a set structure to help students approach and work through the tasks effectively
Starting out as a classroom teacher, Peter Sullivan has worked in teacher education, research and curriculum design for more than 30 years. He is a past member of the Australian Research Council College of Experts, a past editor of the Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, and a past president of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education at Monash University, Melbourne.

Numicon
A hands-on maths program for pre-school to Year 6
Based on a proven concrete-pictorial-abstract approach, Numicon encourages children to explore maths using structured imagery and apparatus in order to understand and explain mathematical concepts.
It develops fluency by using a visual, practical approach to build conceptual understanding and fluent recall and can be used alongside any other maths program.
The Numicon approach
Numicon incorporates a multi sensory approach focusing on action, imagery and conversation. It uses a structured approach and structured images to represent numbers that are designed to illustrate number relationships and patterns in order to be able to make connections and generalisations.
It encourages students to communicate about the relationships and patterns using: Action – what we do; Imagery –what we see and hear; and Conversation – what we say.
Building a secure future in mathematics for every child
Numicon makes maths more meaningful for students in a variety of educational settings including classrooms from preschool to year 6 and additional needs schools. Numicon also provides inclusion and intervention programs in the primary years as well as secondary programs for students who require additional support with the primary Big Ideas of number.
To support educators in the implementation of Numicon, SkyRocket Maths provides a range of online and face-to-face professional development programs.

ELSA: Essential Letters and Sounds Australia
An easy to implement, evidence-based phonics program built for Australian schools
Program overview
Essential Letters and Sounds Australia (ELSA) is an evidence-based whole-class systematic synthetic phonics program for Foundation through Year 2. Phonetic progression within the program is aligned to Letters and Sounds
ELSA gets students decoding words from the very first week of teaching them grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) in a clear and engaging way. As they master more GPCs, their reading fluency and speed improve, turning them into confident, proficient readers.
Evidence of impact
ELSA has been adapted for Australian educators and learners from a very successful program, Essential Letters and Sounds, developed by Oxford University Press (OUP) in the United Kingdom (UK), which has been validated by the UK Department for Education (DfE), and which is currently being used by more than 1000 UK schools.
ELSA lessons
ELSA lessons follow a gradual release of responsibility teaching model – I Do, We Do, You Do. The lessons are simple and consistent and have been specifically designed to reduce cognitive load.
ELSA lessons take 25–45 minutes, 5 days a week, 36 weeks of the year in Foundation and Years 1 and 2. Every lesson has a front-of-class presentation which includes all the content required to deliver effective phonics lessons with ease and fidelity.
ELSA has become an invaluable part of our phonics instruction - efficient, engaging, and effective.
– Classroom Teacher 99% of teachers reported that Essential Letters and Sounds supported them to deliver consistent and structured phonics teaching to a moderate or significant extent in a 2023 impact study
On-demand training
ELSA provides online, on-demand training to ensure that teachers are well-prepared and confident in implementing ELSA in their classrooms. All teachers receive the same high-quality instruction which can be revisited whenever they need a refresher or encounter a new challenge. This allows maximum flexibility for schools and teachers and provides the highest level of support at an affordable price.
y Online, on-demand training available to review at any time
y Over 50 training videos that cover every aspect of the program across Foundation to Year 2
y Presenters with extensive classroom and coaching experience
Interventions
ELSA offers a system of support to ensure that students ‘keep up’ rather than ‘catch up’. Students who show signs of struggling are quickly targeted for an in-lesson intervention which allows the teacher to address learning gaps as they arise. Students who need more intensive support can be provided with a one-on-one intervention to help overcome specific challenges including:
y GPC Recognition
y Oral Blending
y Blending For Reading
y Specific Spellings
y Common Words
Progress monitoring assessments
ELSA provides frequent progress monitoring assessments so that any gaps in students’ knowledge can be quickly identified and closed.
ELSA has three types of assessment:
y Progress Monitoring Assessments F–1
– Non-verbal Progress Monitoring Assessments
y Progress Monitoring Assessments Year 2
– Whole class fortnightly assessments built into lessons
y Diagnostic Assessment
y Year 1 Phonics Screening Check Practice Assessment
Students are assessed on their GPC knowledge and ability to read in and out of context using both real and pseudo words (i.e. non-words).
Following this, teachers are supported with examining and analysing assessment data to inform the next steps for each student and the class as a whole, and decide which interventions, if any, are needed.

A note on student reading for Foundation Weeks 31–36
In Foundation Weeks 31–36, Phase 5 graphemes are first introduced to students. We recommend students shouldn’t be reading books containing these graphemes until they are taught again in Year 1. So, for these Weeks we suggest students read the Essential Blending Books 18–23 (included in the ELSA eLibrary †) and read the earlier print books in the above Foundation Pack. You can also consult our Decodable Readers map for our many other OUP decodable titles matched to each week of the ELSA program, this document is available in your ELSA Online Teaching Subscription. Week 35 is the exception, as it is a Review week. The Week 35 title Adopting a Cat reviews Phases 3 and 4.
† ELSA eLibrary School Subscription is a separate purchase.
Read Write Inc. Phonics
Transforming reading progress for every student in every school for Years F–4
Reading and writing right from the start
Read Write Inc. Phonics provides a systematic and consistent approach to transforming your teaching of reading and writing.
It develops students’ reading, writing, spoken language, vocabulary, grammar and spelling in a fully integrated way, to raise literacy standards and spark a lifelong love of reading.
Features:
y Integrated comprehension, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and handwriting means that Read Write Inc. is more than just a phonics program and helps develop key literacy skills for every student.
1. Assessment
Students are assessed and grouped according to their phonic knowledge
Each student is then taught at the level of their phonic knowledge to ensure quick progress
5. Levelled progression
Ongoing assessment means that any struggling students are picked up the moment they fall behind and if necessary given intensive one-to-one tutoring to catch up fast. Groups are adjusted regularly so all students make the best progress.
y Includes a large range of matched decodable Storybooks and Book Bag Books, for both fiction and non-fiction, to increase reading fluency.
y Other resources include flashcards, posters, word cards, Handbooks, online teaching resources and eBooks to ensure you have everything you need to teach effectively.

Accredited Ruth Miskin Training for Read Write Inc. is available to support your staff with the full implementation of the program. The training is matched to the needs and requirements of your school and is delivered by an outstanding trainer who will show you how to teach effectively and confidently using Read Write Inc. Phonics
145 lively, fully decodable storybooks and 35 non-fiction titles
2. Teaching sounds
The 44 sounds and corresponding letters are introduced and taught systematically.
4. Developing reading and writing
Students read a series of levelled decodable texts, both fiction and non-fiction, and complete integrated writing activities including spelling, grammar, vocabulary and handwriting practice.
Take home reading
3. Teaching words
Students learn to blend sounds to read words. Then they use short ‘ditties’ to practice early reading and writing before being taught more letter-sound correspondences.
For extra practice at home, teachers can send home the black and white versions of the Storybooks and full-colour fiction Book Bag Books, to reinforce students’ classroom learning. This ensures the books sent home are matched to the phonics students are practising in class.
This program has had the greatest impact on learning that I have ever seen.

Build Literacy Learning
A structured and
explicitly
taught literacy program that builds young readers’ skills and knowledge
Build Literacy Learning aligns with the science of reading and reflects the findings of key research reviews and national enquiries into teaching reading.
When is it needed?
It is the follow on from phonics, when decoding skills have developed and students are reading words with less common letter sounds. They are building automaticity and are becoming skilled readers. This is when students need to further develop their literacy skills with engaging and conceptually-rich texts.
What is needed?
How is it organised?
At this stage, readers need to grow and expand their abilities – fluency and comprehension in particular – and build knowledge about their world. They need to build a body of knowledge through a deeper and wider view of particular topics. For books that are rich in content, engaging and enlightening, you need Build Literacy Learning.
Why are Build Literacy Learning books right for your students who have finished with their initial decodable texts?
The collections of books in Build Literacy Learning contain words with letter–sound correspondences that students have already learnt. Therefore, they are ideal for students to use to apply their phonics knowledge and practise their skills. The books will support students to build automaticity and become skilled readers.
How do skilled readers Build Literacy Learning?
Young students need explicitly taught, relatable texts that build on their existing knowledge to create new knowledge networks. They need the Build Literacy Learning program.
All the books are paired, and each pair is supported by a Lesson Plan for each book. The books with the Lesson Plans form a Text Study Unit. Each Text Study Unit provides explicit teaching and learning opportunities related to the language structures and content in the pair of books the students are reading.
