Course Overview

Mathematics is important because it helps us understand and solve real-world problems, from calculating everyday whānau needs to designing complex technology.  The primary purpose of teaching mathematics in kura is to provide ākonga with foundational knowledge and problem-solving skills that serve as building blocks for more advanced pāngarau, their future education and everyday life. This course examines the key foundational knowledge such as the Tauanga investigation cycle and how this knowledge and skills are organised in the various curriculum guides to help teachers plan and assess student learning. This course also focuses on the various planning and assessment approaches, the resources, etc to support you as a beginning teacher
