How we teach.

From individual concepts to connected understanding.

Five principles

Design principles, applied flexibly for each learner.

Break it down
Small, clear units, in the order learning needs.
Teach it explicitly
What it means, why it works, how to use it.
Reveal the connections
Prerequisites, shared principles and links across subjects.
Explore and apply
Solve, visualise, study and practise with purpose.
Reflect and progress
Assessment and feedback show what comes next.

Proportional reasoning in Mathematics is applied in map scales in Geography, constant speed in Physics and solution dilution in Chemistry.

Mathematics

Proportional reasoning

y = kx

The ratio y/x stays constant: it is k.

Geography
Map scale
Scale 1 : 25 000
4 cm on the map is 1 km on the ground.
Limit: areas scale by the square, so 1 cm² is 6.25 ha.
Physics
Constant speed
d = vt, with v = 60 km/h
2 h → 120 km
Limit: true only while the speed stays constant.
Chemistry
Dilution
c₁V₁ = c₂V₂ for a fixed amount of solute
Double the volume, halve the concentration.
Limit: an inverse proportion: c × V stays constant, not c ÷ V.

One concept, four subjects: the same constant relationship, and where each use of it stops.

EdDots Learning Map
Defines the concept, what it needs first and its links.
EdDots Notebook
Teaches the full lesson, with worked examples.
EdDots Study Builder
Builds a 60-minute AI revision lesson.
EdDots Problem Solver
Solves one map-scale problem, step by step.
EdDots Concept Studio
Change the quantities; see what stays constant.
EdDots Class Studio
Builds a worksheet or test with AI, which the teacher checks and approves.
EdDots Home EducationComing soon
Plans the activity and records the work.

One conceptual foundation. Seven different educational responsibilities.

Each label names exactly what the content is.

Curriculum mapped: Placed against the curriculum outcomes it serves.
Lesson defined: The map names the lesson it needs.
Lesson written: Written in full to the Notebook method.
Lesson reviewed: Checked against our teaching standard.
Lesson published: Open to learners.
AI-generated resource: Written by AI on request, and labelled.
AI resource, automatically checked: Tested by automated checks.
AI resource, reviewed by an educator: An authorised educator has read and approved it.

A curriculum map shows where each lesson belongs; each lesson carries its own state.
Professional review is its own step, carried out by an educator.
An AI-generated resource keeps its AI label, separate from Notebook lessons.
Assessment questions stay separate from practice questions.

Study Builder, the Problem Solver and Class Studio are AI-powered, under one shared standard.
