Primary Years 1 to 8 Maths

Maths Aotearoa for the New Zealand Curriculum

Maths Aotearoa Level 3a

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.

Level 3a Teacher Book provides the tools to plan a mathematics programme to meet the needs of all students.

The book is divided into units of work, with curriculum links and learning progression links for each unit. Each chapter identifies the concept development, key knowledge and specific learning outcomes covered. Teacher guidance is provided to build teacher expert content knowledge and demonstrate how to make the best use of the pages in the pupil book. There are assessment tasks and a record sheet for tracking individual students’ progress, as well as answers to all questions. Links to appropriate Figure it Out activities and Wilkie Way resources for each chapter are also included.
