Primary Years 1 to 8 Maths

Maths Aotearoa for the New Zealand Curriculum

Maths Aotearoa Level 4a is divided into two books, 4a and 4b. Students working at 4a already have good additive strategies. They should know their multiplication facts in order to develop efficient multiplicative strategies and begin to develop proportional reasoning. Number is extended into algebraic formulae and also used across the other strands of Geometry & Measurement, and Statistics. Students also develop their statistical thinking.



Level 4a Teacher Book

This teacher book provides the tools to plan a mathematics programme to meet the needs of all students. The book is divided into two 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 student 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.
