Prepared for teachers of Forms 1 and 2 in New Zealand schools, this guide provides units of work intended to turn mathematical concepts into purposeful classroom learning. It supports planning across topics such as whole numbers, calculation, measurement and geometry, with suggested approaches that connect explanations to activities and familiar situations. Material on shapes, lengths and related properties encourages observation and practical investigation alongside numerical skills. Rather than presenting a pupil’s exercise book, the volume offers a framework teachers can adapt to the needs and progress of their classes. It also provides a historical view of mathematics teaching in New Zealand, showing how the Department of Education organised intermediate-level learning and helped teachers develop coherent sequences of work.
