The Big Ideas of wānanga, hononga, and tāiringa kōrero highlight the importance of Aotearoa New Zealand’s identity in how ākonga conceptualise the world and solve problems. Mātauranga Māori recognises the importance of socio-cultural context when learning and applying mathematical and statistical skills. The content of mathematics is universal, but it will be accessed, and engaged with, by different cultures in distinct ways. Your classwork will be drawn from the 6 main strands of mathematics (algebra, geometry, measurement, number, probability and statistics).
