Official content description
discuss how existing and student solutions satisfy the design criteria and user stories
Teach AC9TDI4P05 this week?
TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9TDI4P05 specifically, never an invented code. Your first lesson is free.

What Year 3 Technologies students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 3 Technologies standard sentences this code builds towards:
- Students select design ideas against design criteria.
- For each of the 2 prescribed technologies contexts they describe the features and uses of technologies and create designed solutions.
- By the end of Year 4 students create simple digital solutions and use provided design criteria to check if solutions meet user needs.
- By the end of Year 4 students describe how people design products, services and environments to meet the needs of people, including sustainability.
- They communicate design ideas using models and drawings including annotations and symbols.
- They use the core features of common digital tools to plan, create, locate and share content, and to collaborate, following agreed behaviours.
The Processes and production skills progression either side of AC9TDI4P05
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Years 1–2
- AC9TDI2P01investigate simple problems for known users that can be solved with digital systems
- AC9TDI2P02follow and describe algorithms involving a sequence of steps, branching (decisions) and iteration (repetition)
- AC9TDI2P03discuss how existing digital systems satisfy identified needs for known users
Other Year 3 Processes and production skills codes
- AC9TDI4P01define problems with given design criteria and by co-creating user stories
- AC9TDI4P02follow and describe algorithms involving sequencing, comparison operators (branching) and iteration
- AC9TDI4P03generate, communicate and compare designs
- AC9TDI4P04implement simple algorithms as visual programs involving control structures and input
- AC9TDI4P06use the core features of common digital tools to create, locate and communicate content, following agreed conventions
- AC9TDI4P07use the core features of common digital tools to share content, plan tasks, and collaborate, following agreed behaviours, supported by trusted adults
- AC9TDI4P08access their school account using a memorised password and explain why it should be easy to remember, but hard for others to guess
- AC9TDI4P09identify what personal data is stored and shared in their online accounts and discuss any associated risks
