OpenSTEM Pty Ltd creates resources and complete programs for use in schools and other educational settings, fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum.
Our flagship product is the Understanding Our World® HASS+Science Program for Primary Schools, and our latest addition is the Diced Maths® activities and resources.
Comprehensive Primary Program
Our materials implement the Australian Curriculum (including assessment) and the state-level curricula, but expanded and generally cross-curricular: we integrate the relevant different subjects as experienced in the real world, as well as cater for multi-year level classrooms.
Awesome materials for awesome teachers!
The OpenSTEM® Understanding Our World® Program for Primary Schools is comprehensive, covering all of the version Australian Curriculum Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) + Science curricula in Primary Schools:
- Foundation (K/Prep) to Year 2 covers History and Geography + Science
- Years 3 and 4 cover History, Geography and Civics & Citizenship + Science
- Years 5 and 6 cover History, Geography, Civics & Citizenship and Economics & Business + Science
The more I see our teachers and students work with the programs, the more convinced I am that we have a great partnership and are doing the right thing by the kids.
