Maths Aotearoa for the New Zealand Curriculum

Maths Aotearoa Level 3a

This book is the first of two books for students working at Level 3 of the Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum.

Students working at Level 3a are expected to use basic facts and place value to work with two- and three-digit addition and subtraction problems. They should know the two times, five times and ten times tables, and should be starting to work out other multiplication tables using these tables in an array model with doubling and addition facts. Geometry, Measurement and Statistics at Level 3a require the same type of mathematical thinking as the Number and Algebra work in this book.

Mathematics is all about solving problems and not about doing pages of sums, so this book provides plenty of opportunity for students to put their mathematical knowledge to work in real contexts across all the strands.
