New Maths Curriculum

Markus from Green Bay

“children will be learning maths based on a new world-leading, knowledge-rich maths curriculum based on the best from across the OECD like Singapore and Australia, adapted for New Zealand”.

1 Kiwi + 1 Kiwi = 2 Kiwis
2 Sheep + 2 Sheep = 4 Sheep
1 Kiwi + 1 Stoat = 1 fat Stoat

… and THAT is why Maths is hard 😳
