Late level 2 plan (term 4)

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.

Planning notes

This plan is a starting point for planning a mathematics and statistics teaching programme for a term. The resources listed cover about 50% of your teaching time. Further resources need to be added to meet the specific learning needs of your class, to support your local curriculum and to provide sufficient teaching for a full term.

Letter patterns

Level Two
Number and Algebra
Units of Work
In this unit we look at number patterns from letters and numbers. We use a table of values to help record our thinking. It’s important here to look for the pattern and see how the number of tiles changes from letter to letter.
  • Draw the next shape in a pattern sequence
  • See how the pattern continues from one shape to the next
  • Draw up a table of values.
