Maths at our house: watching sport together

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.

Distances, times, scores… sport is filled with numbers! Whether you are watching sport on TV, reading the sports pages in the newspaper, or checking scores on the internet there are lots of opportunities to explore the results and statistics together with your child. Research shows that when children are working in maths contexts that interest them, they do better. Sport is a way to put some maths thinking and practice into a time you spend together.
