Primary and Intermediate Teachers

The Ministry of Education is continuing its Tertiary Fees Funding Support scheme for approved mathematics and literacy papers. Up to 600 teachers each year will be supported to study a mathematics paper at the graduate or post graduate level. Half the tuition fee will be paid for by the Ministry of Education and half by the teacher’s school, or teacher. MST participants will receive a subsidy of $1000 (GST exclusive). No release time or leave provision is part of this scheme.

Getting started

There are a number of mind reading programs around right now and if you go on the web you should find one or two to make you think.

Here is the outline of one mind reading game.

Beanies, Bowlers, Painters, and Cyclists

Some problems

We want to talk about four problems and a funeral. The funeral is yours, mine and nearly everybody’s. It’s the mathematical area of ratios that, for some peculiar reason that we are not yet at the bottom of, seems to be so difficult. We’ll get to that later. But first the four problems.

Problem 1 – Beanies: It takes 4 balls of wool to make 7 beanies. How many balls of wool does it take to make 19 beanies?

This page is designed to help teachers select the most appropriate assessment tool to meet their assessment needs.

This section contains tutorials intended to support the mathematical content knowledge of teachers and to provide information on how to teach specific concepts. They can be used either by an individual, or as the basis for a staff meeting.  The tutorials have been grouped based on the NDP book that they most strongly support.

Book 3: Getting Started

Most of the learning objects in this collection were produced by The Le@rning Federation (TLF). TLF was a project that produced online curriculum content to encourage student learning and support teachers in Australian and New Zealand schools. TLF was an initiative of the state, territory and federal governments of Australia and New Zealand.
