These mathematics resources are all based on the
new curriculum document. The achievement objectives and key competencies have
been adapted from there. Below are links to the maths unit planners for each level
1-4, covering the primary years. Simply delete those achievement objectives not
needed and fill in the Specific Learning Outcomes.

All of the completed units have a focus on activities and knowledge relative to Moriori,
Rekohu and New Zealand's history. Maths,

There are a limited range of resources available
for schools about Moriori, but the book, "Moriori," by Michael
King is considered essential reading for any teacher or student wanting to
learn more about this fascinating and misunderstood part of New
Zealand's cultural history. |

What is mathematics and statistics
about?
Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in
quantities, space, and time.
Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data.
These two disciplines are related but different ways of thinking and of solving
problems. Both disciplines equip students with effective means for
investigating, interpreting,
explaining, and making sense of the world in which they live.
Mathematicians and statisticians use symbols, graphs, and diagrams to help them
find and communicate patterns and relationships, and they create models to
represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. These situations are drawn
from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, health,
environmental, and economic contexts.
Why study mathematics and
statistics?
By studying mathematics and statistics, students develop the ability to
think creatively, critically, strategically, and logically. They learn
to structure and to organise, to carry out procedures flexibly and
accurately, to process and communicate information, and to enjoy
intellectual challenge. By learning mathematics and statistics, students
develop other important thinking skills. They learn to create models and
predict outcomes, to conjecture, to justify and verify, and to seek
patterns and generalisations. They learn to estimate with
reasonableness, to calculate with precision, and to infer with an
appreciation of
variation.
Mathematics and statistics have a broad range of practical applications
in everyday life, in other learning areas, and in workplaces.
