See the idea. Put it to the test.

956 practicals from Kindergarten to Year 12, in 9 subjects. A practical gives the idea, what you need, the steps, what you should see and a safety card. A teacher-led practical gives the idea and its hazards; its method is for tutors on the learning platform.

Review

Reviewed before publication (owner’s confirmation, 24 September 2026). That covers every practical here, and a practical’s page lists the sources its author read.

A safety card on every page

The risk, who supervises and the hazards. The 38 teacher-led practicals show their idea and hazards here; their materials, steps and sources, and any result, control or note that states a number or an amount, are for tutors and administrators on the learning platform.

School laboratory, not for home

207 practicals are medium or high risk. Each says so on its page: In a school laboratory, with a teacher supervising, under the school's risk assessment. Not for home.

Curriculum references

Each practical lists the NSW syllabus outcomes and Australian Curriculum v9 codes it supports. They are references, not a verified or complete curriculum alignment.

Find a practical

Clear all

A practical is carried out at the bench, in the classroom or outdoors. A practical with its model not built stands on its own; the page says where a step mentions the model. A calculation and data practical works from published figures by hand, with a calculator or in a spreadsheet. No Lab page includes an interactive model; the Concept Studio holds the demonstrations.

    Halfway: folding a ribbon to find the middle

    Half of a length is one of two equal parts, found by folding the length end to end, and the fold marks the halfway point.

    PracticalLow risk

  2. Mathematics K–6 · Years 1–2

    Halves, quarters and eighths by folding

    Folding a whole in half again and again makes 2, 4 then 8 equal parts, each part half the size of the one before.

    PracticalLow risk

  3. Mathematics K–6 · Years 3–4

    Counting by quarters along a rope

    Fractions are numbers with places on a number line, so counting by quarters passes 1 and continues to mixed numerals such as one and a quarter.

  4. Mathematics K–6 · Years 3–4

    Fraction strips: unit fractions and completing the whole

    A unit fraction is one of several equal parts of a whole, and enough copies of it laid end to end make the whole again.

  5. Mathematics K–6 · Years 5–6

    Fraction strips on a 24 cm whole: adding and subtracting

    Fractions with the same or related denominators are added and subtracted by measuring them as lengths of the same whole, which gives the same result as renaming them with a common denominator.

  6. Mathematics K–6 · Years 5–6

    Ordering fractions with different denominators

    Fractions with different denominators are compared by placing them on the same number line or by renaming them with a common denominator, and a benchmark such as one half settles many comparisons at once.
