Why teachers use these

Why New Zealand primary teachers use these

Most Year 1–8 teachers here plan maths for a composite class with two or three curriculum levels sitting in the room at once, and a daily maths hour leaves very little time to build materials from scratch. A complete unit hands you the modelling slides, the graduated practice and the answers in one download. Your planning time then goes into the teaching as inquiry decisions rather than formatting worksheets at nine at night.

What's covered

What each maths download contains

Every unit arrives as a full teaching sequence rather than a loose pack of worksheets.

  • Number knowledge and strategy tasks
  • Measurement, geometry and statistics work
  • Four difficulty levels per worksheet
  • Editable slides for modelling
  • Worked answers for marking
  • Printable and device-friendly versions

Make it work for everyone

Differentiation and evidence of progress

Because each worksheet comes on four levels, one lesson can stretch from a group still working with materials to a group generalising a rule. Keep the completed pages as a work sample and annotate the strategy a child used. That gives you concrete evidence to sit beside your e-asTTle or PAT data when reporting comes round.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Are these aligned to the New Zealand Curriculum?

They are not produced, endorsed or approved by the Ministry of Education. Each unit is written to the mathematics and statistics concepts and skills the curriculum covers, so it maps onto levels 1 to 4 rather than quoting official documents. Open the preview and check the content against the level you are planning for.

Will one unit work across a composite Year 5 and 6 class?

That is what the four worksheet levels are for. Teach the same slides to everyone, then hand out the version matching each group's number knowledge. The problems share a context and vocabulary, so the class can still pool strategies at the end without anyone noticing who had which sheet.

Can I change the contexts to suit our kura or local curriculum?

Everything arrives as editable Word and PowerPoint, so you can swap names, places and prices for ones your ākonga recognise, drop in a local context and delete whatever does not fit your unit. Measurement work is metric throughout, so nothing needs converting before you print.
