Units of Work

Number Relations

This unit of work is based on the Māori medium unit Te Whakaaro Tūhonohono, and investigates how relational thinking is applied to number operations.

Angles

This unit of work is based on the Māori medium unit Koki, and investigates:

  • contexts where angles are important, such as the turning of hands on a clock
  • how rotation and degree angle measures are connected
  • estimating and measuring angles.

Direction and Position

This unit of work is based on the Māori medium unit Te Ahunga me te Taunga, and investigates the main compass directions, degree measures of direction and the use of a grid system to define locations on a map.

Kapa Haka Spreadsheet

This unit of work is based on the marks awarded by judges to the groups in a kapa haka competition. Students use a computer spreadsheet to enter the marks and analyse the data. This unit is based on the Māori medium unit Ripanga Kapa Haka.

Fair Games

Many games of chance and activities in maths text books involve rolling two dice and combining the scores, usually by addition. Students often find the probabilities of such events difficult to calculate as they are confused between events (for example a score of 4) and outcomes (for example 3 and 1, 2 and 2, 1 and 3). This unit makes use of a variety of activities where the number of outcomes in the sample space is clearly different from the number of events.

Street Maps

In this unit students use street maps as the context to learn about grid references, and for giving and following instructions involving directions and distances.

Making Evaluations

In this unit students evaluate statements made about the findings of statistical investigations. In evaluating the statement students look at how the results of the investigation support the findings. 

Which Graph? with Excel

This unit involves the same mathematics as Which Graph? Level 3 but involves students making the bar graphs and pie graphs using Excel. The instructions to use Excel are provided as Copymasters.

In this unit students explore how bar graphs and pie graphs can show different aspects of the data. Bar graphs show the number differences between data categories and pie graphs can be used to clearly show proportional differences between data categories.

Which Graph?

In this unit students explore how bar graphs and pie graphs can show different aspects of a data set. Bar graphs show the number differences between data categories and pie graphs can be used to clearly show proportional differences between data categories.

Statements about Probability

In this unit students make spinners to show the probability of events. They will make statements about probabilities shown on spinners and evaluate statements made by other classmates.
