Te Mātaiaho

 New Karakia - 

Mātai aho tāhūnui,

Mātai aho tāhūroa,

Hei takapau wānanga,

E hora nei

Lay the Kaupapa down

and sustain it,

The learning here

Laid out before us


Te Mātaiaho - The refreshed New Zealand Curriculum, The learning areas of Mātaiaho, Mathematics and Statistics


The new curriculum is a massive part of the practice. 


The three principles are...





This vision is for children because they sit at the centre. Their aspirations and how they see themselves as learners matter.



As of today, it is about the deeper the learning. Instead of Level's, it's now phases. 

They fit into the different categories - Why, What, How

See the slides that Joneen sent for the diagram of the how, why and what

Phases of Learning:

It is lots more focused on the children.

Culturally sustaining teaching and assessment:



Talks about the caring of the learners, then connected, making sure that you are intentional about covering everything. How are we going to approach this?

It's the whole school's responsibility to make sure that we have this covered. 

Key Learning areas - 

Gone from 800 AOs down to 40 key learning areas. 

It's about doing less but doing it better and more deeply. 

The draft for English and Math has come out and needs to be in place by 2025.  

The understands - the big ideas that stay the same.

The know's - in math, are your strands.

The do's - are your modeling etc. 

We look at progress in a more child-centered way so that we match what we do to their development. It gives clarity about what this is going to look like. 


The Math Curriculum - 


Impact Ed have put together a one page of progress steps. 

This is something that could follow the child through the years. Building the knowledge is key for understanding. 

The new curriculum looks like it is more user friendly and straight forward. You are more capable of going deeper into their learning and pull them side ways. 

Here is an example of Progression in Action

Joneen is willing to come out to school and help us plan our maths etc.
