Tahi Maths now aligned with The Mathematics & Statistics Curriculum (October 2025)
Tahi Maths
equips students with conceptual and procedural knowledge that empowers them to explore and make sense of the world
uses patterns to help students develop mathematical thinking, making connections with what they know about numbers
uses explorative maths tasks that support engagement and encourage critical thinking through wondering and questioning
provides discussion opportunities to help teachers see how students are going
incorporates predictable and engaging warm-ups
provides real-life scenarios to engage students in mathematical thinking
includes ‘rich tasks’ offered every day which are useful to stretch and engage all students
uses visual representations connecting maths with the ‘real world’ through everyday objects from the student’s world (e.g., shells, stones, toy cars) and school mathematics equipment (e.g., tens frames, hundreds boards, place value blocks)
uses representations to show maths ideas including diagrams, photographs, multiplication arrays, number lines, tables, graphs.
Students
connect new knowledge to current understandings
engage in reasoning and critical thinking skills
describe what they see, express their thinking and ask questions, learning from one another
see that Mathematics and Statistics is creative and is shaped by the contributions of others
benefit from maths tasks that engage them in maths thinking where the answer is not obvious.
Teachers
focus closely on one particular maths procedure or skill in a maths session
notice, recognise and respond to the needs of their students, adjusting the order and emphasis, adding contexts and content as needed
adapt the content of the slides to meet the needs of their students
alter word problems in accordance to the ability and needs of their students.
