How Many Now?

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

Activity

The students close their eyes and listen and count as you drop objects into the container. At the end ask how many objects are in the container. Check by emptying the container and counting them. Examples. Repeat with students in pairs. One student does the dropping and the other does the counting. Then they swap roles.
