Take This

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 collection of resources is based on the idea that you can 'take something' and use it as a context to capture the interest of students. Each Take This is a single page of springboard ideas designed to flexibly connect mathematics across the strands. The activities are intended to be adapted for your students, and do not provide a full, sequenced lesson plan.
