For the teacher Kia ora! Thank you for choosing Mathematics and Statistics for Aotearoa New Zealand (Second edition). This programme has been purpose-written by experienced New Zealand educators to provide complete coverage of the New Zealand Curriculum (2025). Every component has been developed with real classrooms in mind, offering practical support for teachers, engaging learning experiences for students, differentiated activities and an easy-to-implement structure.

The three components of the programme This is your central hub for planning and implementing the programme. From here you can access: • Suggested year planners • Topic plans • Interactive teaching slides to support explicit teaching • Weekly pre- and post-topic quizzes (both online and paper) • Supporting resources such as rich tasks, activity sheets and interactives • An interactive assessment builder • Various achievement reports

Student Dashboard

This gives students easy access to digital activities and interactives that support and extend learning. Designed for independent use, it keeps students engaged both at school and at home.

Student Workbook

This is the core learning resource for students. It provides engaging, curriculumaligned activities organised by topic and includes all strands and elements, ensuring complete curriculum coverage.

Topics Our programme organises curriculum practices into clear topics. Each topic typically runs for one week (with the exception of a few double or half topics), with everything you need as a teacher provided. Each topic follows a three-stage progression: Learn, Explore, Deepen. Learn:    D evelop the foundational knowledge and skills for the topic. Explore: Extend understanding by investigating different aspects of the topic and introducing new concepts and ideas. Deepen: B uild on learning through increased challenge and complexity, encouraging deeper mathematical thinking. For clarity, all topic plans, topic teaching slides and supporting workbook pages are aligned with these three stages. iv

New features added to the student workbooks: Progress passport These checklists include illustrated examples to help students understand their goals and self-assess their confidence as they progress. Teachers can track progress, add comments or stickers and celebrate achievement. Progress Passports also support meaningful learning conversations between students, teachers and whānau.

Quick 10s Located at the back of the workbook, these ten-question number knowledge checks draw on practices from the previous year level. They are ideal for lesson starters and provide regular opportunities to consolidate number knowledge skills.

Topic 1.2 Rounding Rounding numbers

Before a number is rounded, you need to know which place value column you are rounding to. For example, if you wanted to round 32,828 to the nearest thousand, you focus on the digit to the right of it. Here’s how:

A

Tth th h t o 3 2 8 2 8 If the digit is 5 or more, round UP

If the digit is 4 or less, round DOWN

AF T

We can see that the circled digit is more C than 5. So, we round up to the nearest thousand. 32,828 rounded to the nearest thousand is 33,000. (All the columns to the right are now empty. So, a zero goes in each empty space.)

Subtraction in parts Splitting numbers up into their place value parts can make subtraction easier. For example, 479 – 135 = ? • Split (expand) the number you are taking away: 135 becomes 100 + 30 and 5 • First, take away 100: 479 – 100 = 379 • Next, take away 30: 379 – 30 = 349 • Then, take away 5: 349 – 5 = 344 • So, 479 – 135 = 344

Some written subtractions involve regrouping. Here is a reminder of how it works, using place value blocks and small numbers, such as 54 – 25. Step 2 Regroup a ten for 10 ones.

Step 4 Take away 5 ones.

When you write the algorithm, you regroup in the same way.

Step 6 Take away There aren’t enough ones. 2 tens. Regroup a ten. That leaves 4 tens.

T O 45 14 Step 1 Step 3 Step 5 Start with 54. There are still 54 That leaves (You cannot take (4 tens and 14 ones). 49. away 5 ones.)

Step 7 The answer is 29.

Now there are 10 + 4 ones = 14.

Number | Operations

Topic 1.6 Dividing Division can be set out in an algorithm. You put the number in a “box” and split it up. This is called short division. Imagine the problem is 42 ÷ 3. This is how it works:

Step 1 4 tens split into groups of three makes 1 group of three tens and 1 ten left over.

14 3 412

The answer to a division is called a quotient.

Step 3 12 ones split into groups of three makes 4. Step 2 Regroup the ten for 10 ones. Now there are 12 ones.

When you read a word problem, things need to be done in the right order so that you arrive at the correct answer. Here is an example: Leka had ten $1 coins. He lost four coins at playtime (so he had $6). His aunty felt sorry for him and doubled the amount he had left ($6 × 2). How much did he have? ($12) To solve the problem, we could write a number sentence. However, doing the following calculation will not give the right answer: 10 – 4 × 2. Why?

When comparing decimals, look at the tenths place first, then the hundredths (then the thousandths, if needed)

Comparing decimals

Which is bigger: 0.135 or 0.55? Many people think 0.135 is bigger than 0.55 because 135 is bigger than 55. Think about it carefully. 0.55 means 5 tenths and 5 hundredths. 0.135 means only 1 tenth, 3 hundredths and 5 thousandths. Therefore, 0.55 > 0.135.

→ → +2 +2 You want to write a rule that links the number of matchsticks (m) to the step number (n). 1 Look at how the pattern is changing (it increased by 2 in this example). 2 Write a general rule. m = 2 × n 3 Check if you need to adjust the rule using step number 1 (n = 1). m = 2 × 1 = 2 But step number 1 has 3 matchsticks, not 2. So, we need to add 1 to the general rule. New rule: m = 2 × n + 1 4 Check the rule using another step number (e.g. n = 3). m=2×3+1 =7 This is correct. There are 7 matchsticks in step number 3. 5 How many matchsticks will there be in step number 10? m = 2 × n + 1 = 2 × 10 + 1 = 21 matchsticks in step number 10.

A coordinate plane is like a map. To find a specific spot, we use an address called a coordinate pair: (x, y). • The x-axis is the horizontal line (left to right). • The y-axis is the vertical line (up and down). • The origin is the starting point at (0, 0).

All triangles have three sides. Triangles can be named according to the lengths of their sides and the sizes of their angles. Isosceles triangle: Two sides are the same length. Two angles are equal.

Right-angled triangle: There is a right angle in the triangle.

Equilateral triangle: All sides are the same length. All the angles are equal.

What is a trend? When we look at graphs, we usually see one of three things. 1 Upward trend: The values are generally increasing (getting bigger). 2 Downward trend: The values are generally decreasing (getting smaller). 3 No trend: The values go up and down randomly without a clear direction. Look at each of these graphs and identify if it shows a trend or not. a D escribe the trend you see.

a C ircle the number values that describe the chance of the spinner not landing on number 4. 3 7 out of 10 3 out of 4 75% 0.75 4 b If you spin the spinner four times it should land on each number once. Do you think that will happen? Give a reason for your answer.

2

Decide on the number of spins that is necessary to obtain accurate results. 12? 20? 40? (The number needs to be a multiple of 4.) Operate the spinner and tally the results in the table.
