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.

Drawings, maps and models are scale representations and that scale is a linear (adjective of line) scale if the linear dimensions of the scale representation are in direct proportion to the linear measurements of the region being represented.
For example, a map of a playground might be drawn to a scale of one centimetre to one metre (that is, 1cm on the map represents 1m on the ground). As a ratio, this is a scale of 1:100, so every distance on the map is one one-hundredth of the distance it represents on the ground.
