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.

This Professional Learning Community (PLC) has been created to provide a forum for discussing problem solving activities. Each month we will post two new problems, a level 1 problem, a level 2 problem and a level 3 problem. Please use the threads to tell us how your students solved the problems. We will include some of the solutions at the bottom of each problem on the site. Don’t forget to include your students name, (age if you wish) and the school that you are in when you post their strategies on how they solved the problem.

There is also a thread where you can share good problems that you have used, and a thread for general discussion about problem solving.

The posts in this PLC can be viewed by anyone, but if you wish to post a comment yourself you will need to sign in to the nzmaths website. If you do not have an account you can create one for free. Please feel free to comment on any of the links provided.

If you join this PLC, you will receive email notifications whenever a new page is listed here, or whenever a user comments on the pages already listed.

Happy problem solving! We look forward to seeing the range of methods and approaches students use to solve these problems.
