Maths Aotearoa 4a Teacher Book

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.
