Mathematics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in quantities, space, and time. Statistics is the exploration and use of patterns and relationships in data. These two disciplines are related but different ways of thinking and of solving problems. Both equip students with effective means for investigating, interpreting, explaining, and making sense of the world in which they live.
Mathematicians and statisticians use symbols, graphs, and diagrams to help them find and communicate patterns and relationships, and they create models to represent both real-life and hypothetical situations. These situations are drawn from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, health, environmental, and economic contexts.

Helping teachers create quality teaching and learning programmes.
The Ministry has commissioned a set of papers to be developed by experts, alongside significant engagement with teachers and practitioners, to inform the approach to the refresh of The New Zealand Curriculum. These papers include formal research papers as well as targeted think-pieces, all developed as inputs to the refresh process and the mathematics strategy. All of these resources are being used by writing and working groups to ensure that the refresh of The New Zealand Curriculum reflects current best practices in the field of education.
Below are links and downloads for two of these papers. Other papers will be uploaded to Changes to The New Zealand Curriculum as they become available.
