Mathematics and Statistics for Aotearoa New Zealand

• New Zealand Curriculum Knowledge and Practices have been grouped together to form ‘Topics’.
• Most topics are taught over a week (i.e. 5 hours of teaching)
• Each topic includes a pre- and post-test (in digital or print format), allowing for flexible groups to be formed based on prior knowledge and ability.
• Every topic includes a detailed lesson plan and front-of-class teaching slides for every lesson.
• The lesson plan and front-of-class teaching slides for every topic align directly with the Learn, Explore and Deepen tasks in the Student Workbook.

The programme includes two suggested teaching and learning sequences, giving teachers the flexibility to choose an approach that suits their context and their students.

• Option 1: Connections planner: Topics are deliberately sequenced to move between strands throughout the year, following a spiral curriculum approach – concepts are continuously revisited with increasing sophistication, deepening understanding over time.
• Option 2: Strand grouping planner: Topics are grouped more closely by strand, suiting teachers who prefer a structured, sequential approach. Where connections are relevant, lesson plans include explicit prompts to link back to previously taught content.

Detailed lesson plans for every lesson are provided.

If your school selects the Oxford programme for one or two phases:

• every student will receive one Student Workbook and one Student Dashboard licence for their year level annually

every teacher will receive a Teacher Dashboard licence for every year level in the phase/s selected (i.e. if your school selects Phase 1, teachers will all have access to all teacher resources across Years 0–3).

We have developed this guide document to display how Oxford supports multi-year level classrooms.

• ‘Suggested teaching and learning sequences’ (with supporting lesson plans) offer critical support for multi-year level classes. The editable planners align teaching outcomes across multiple year levels and use clear colour-coding to help teachers quickly identify and deliver connected topics. They also provide practical guidance for managing the multi-year level classroom by suggesting how to cater for each year level throughout the learning sequence within the structure of the programme.
• Topics across all year levels have also been grouped and named consistently, making it easy for teachers to identify aligned curriculum content and plan cohesive learning experiences.
• Video support, developed in partnership with Evaluation Associates and contributing schools, offers practical, real-world examples of effective teaching in multi-year level settings.
