Maths Week was established by the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers (NZAMT) in 1998. It is a premier mathematics event in the New Zealand school calendar, gaining the attention of an estimated audience of more than 250,000 students, teachers and parents from around New Zealand in August each year.

The tamariki in Rooms 18 and 19 have enjoyed completing daily challenges in their Ako Whānau teams. There has been a different theme each day and the challenges have covered a variety of concepts across the mathematics curriculum. Correct answers and teamwork have given the tamariki an opportunity to earn money for their team. On Friday they will be able to 'cash-in' their money for a prize from the teachers. To conclude Maths Week, we are also having a mathematical scavenger hunt around the school. Learning mathematics is lots of fun!
