Features of the plans

Each plan provides:

• five suggested units of work for each term, representing approximately 50% of a full teaching programme
• broad coverage of the content of the mathematics and statistics learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum 
• coverage of all eight aspects of the mathematics Learning Progression Framework in the first half of the year, to allow teachers to make mid-year judgements
• a Word document version of a full-year plan
• editable Planning Space links for each term; if you are logged into nzmaths, you can save, print and share your edited plans.

Completing the plans for your class

Further resources need to be added to these plans to:

• meet the specific learning needs of your class
• support your local curriculum
• provide sufficient teaching for a full year
• ensure regular practice of number knowledge to build fluency
• provide maintenance of recently learned ideas.

The Resource Finder is useful for locating appropriate additional resources from these collections on nzmaths:

• Rich learning activities
• Problem solving activities
• Figure It Out activities
• Activities from the Numeracy Development Project books

e-ako maths can be used either in small groups or independently to reinforce learning.
