Overview of the programme

Mathematics and Statistics for Aotearoa New Zealand is a complete, curriculum-aligned teaching and learning programme for Years 0–8 – designed to save teachers time, deepen student understanding, and give every student the opportunity to succeed.

The programme has been designed and written by experienced teachers from across New Zealand and is designed so every student can access learning at their curriculum level – whether that means accelerating students who need additional support or providing enrichment and mastery for those working confidently at level.

The programme brings together three interconnected components; Student Workbooks, Student Dashboards, and a Teacher Dashboard. These components form a cohesive teaching and learning system grounded in evidence-based practice, explicit teaching, and the Science of Learning.

Teacher Dashboard

A complete and comprehensive digital teaching hub with:

  • whole-year teaching and learning sequences
  • step-by-step lesson plans for every lesson
  • front-of-class teaching slides for every lesson
  • online/printable assessments (formative and summative)
  • a wealth of additional curriculum-aligned resources.

Student Workbook

A carefully sequenced, full-colour write-in workbook, with:

  • beautiful stimulating illustrations and designs to engage learners
  • graded activities aligned to the NZ Curriculum 2025
  • 'Quick 5' and 'Quick 10' starters for spaced repetition
  • 'Progress Passports' to track and rate progress against every knowledge and practice.

 

All of our student workbooks are proudly printed in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Student Dashboard 

An interactive student hub designed for independent learning and flexible entry points, featuring:

  • a brand-new student-friendly design
  • interactive learning objects
  • print and online quizzes with instant feedback
  • 'read to me' functionality
  • a multilingual glossary
  • content videos and an AI-powered tutor (Phase 3 only).

    Years 0–3

    Building students' ability to investigate, classify, and describe numbers, shapes, and data, using materials and explicit teaching to develop reasoning and connect representations.

    Years 4–6

    Extending understanding from whole numbers to fractions and decimals, applying number operations to solve problems across measurement, patterns, shapes, probabilities, and data.

     

    Years 7–8

    Logic and reasoning to solve problems, make connections, and justify approaches, with students generalising concepts, working with algebraic notation, and beginning to explore integers and irrational numbers.

     

    How it works

    A visual representation of strands being broken down into Elements, and broken down further into Topics, which can be taught through a week in class

    Our programme follows a consistent structure and sequence that aligns directly with the New Zealand Curriculum. The structure of all components reflects the structure of the NZC.

    • There are five or six Strands at each year level (depending on the requirements in the NZC).
    • Each strand is broken down into Elements.
    • Each Element is covered progressively over one or more Topics.
    • Most Topics are taught over the course of one teaching week (i.e. 5 x one-hour lessons).

      Our 5-step teaching sequence

      Our 5-step teaching sequence supports teachers and empowers students in every maths lesson!

      New for 2027: The interactive assessment builder!

      Our newest feature allows for additional assessment steps to enter the teaching sequence, teachers can use the interactive assessment builder to create and assign a range of formative and summative assessments at any stage of the teaching and learning cycle - from short formative quizzes to summative class tests and examinations.

      What New Zealand teachers are saying

      The scaffolding in the guided tasks has helped my students who are less confident in maths feel a sense of achievement in their understanding of different mathematical concepts.

      Rose Golds, Northcross Intermediate School, Auckland

      I think students are more motivated because they feel successful with mathematics. Whereas previously I think a lot of students came in with anxiety about maths, I now feel most of my class would say they are successful with maths.

      Aimee Coombe, Diary Flat Primary, Auckland

      The lesson plans have transformed the way we teach as a school team; they introduced consistency of practice… and save us so much time! 

      Intermediate teacher

      It has improved the fluidity of students being in a workshop with me and then working independently and me knowing that the Oxford Book is giving them what I need them to be working on. The programme has definitely improved students’ knowledge and skills.
