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.

Students practise whole number sequences using numerals, quantities (eg dots) and words. Thinking is focused on considering the number that comes before and after given numbers.

Teacher notes

  • Students place train carriages on a track in order, one at a time, by working out the number that comes before and after the number on each carriage.
  • Numbers are represented as words, numerals, dots, and/or MAB blocks.
  • Randomised number generation encourages repeated use.
