The resources have been designed to provide teachers and leaders with information about what is needed for ākonga in Years 1-8 to receive rich learning experiences and a full diet of maths education. A balanced maths diet is a quick reference sheet for teachers to support your curriculum design. The Leading mathematics teaching and learning in years 1-8 brochure supports school leaders on how to best support maths teaching in your school.

The Science Learning Hub – Pokapū Akoranga Pūtaiao

26/08/22

The Science Learning Hub – Pokapū Akoranga Pūtaiao links New Zealand scientists with school students, teachers, and community audiences. They are a national project funded by the New Zealand Government to make examples of New Zealand science, technology and engineering more accessible and visible. To do this, they use a range of media to tell the stories of New Zealand research and development. Wrap-around teacher resources demonstrate how these stories can be used as contexts for creating relevant, engaging classroom programmes in science and STEM.

They have over 10,400 resources that showcase cutting-edge science and demonstrate how the stories of science can be used to enrich school teaching and learning, making it more relevant, engaging and meaningful. Below are a few examples of resources that have recently been developed with Otago University for the Aotearoa in Space Exhibition. Many more are available on their website.
