Figure It Out Series – Mathematics Curriculum Answers and Teachers Notes

This website focuses on the teaching and learning of mathematics in New Zealand schools. Units of work and lesson plans take a problem-solving approach and are contained in sections based on the statistics, measurement, algebra, and geometry strands of the New Zealand mathematics curriculum. These cover levels 1–4 and a general problem-solving section provides lessons covering levels 1–6, with copymasters of problems in both English and Māori. Background notes and guidelines for teachers are included with units of work.
