I have collated some planning, assessment and organisation information from nzmaths to hopefully make it easier for you...

Possible assessments for the beginning of the year...
NumPA is used each year in the junior school as part of our new entrant assessment. As it can be time consuming, it can be used to find out more about focus students rather than the whole class. This year as we are focusing on numeracy, all children will be NumPA tested at the beginning of the year so that we have clear baseline data.
NumPA (Diagnostic Interview) This diagnostic interview is administered in an individual interview. It is used to fully assess a student’s knowledge in all five of the knowledge domains and strategy in all three of the strategy domains. However, as this method of assessment is time-consuming, it is not intended that it be used with every member of a class on a regular basis.
More information about NumPA is available from the nzmaths online PD.
IKAN and GloSS
- GloSS
The GloSS assessment enables you to identify the strategy stage students are operating at across all three strategy domains, known as the global strategy stage. It consists of a series of strategy questions which can be administered to individual students in a few minutes. Multiple forms of the interview are available so that students do not become too familiar with the questions. More information is availible from the nzmaths online PD. The GloSS assessments are available on the nzmaths website.
Here is an example of a junior GloSS interview...

IKAN could be carried out with your maths groups instead of a teaching session during the first week or two of school.
- IKAN
The IKAN assessment identifies the knowledge stages students are operating at across all five knowledge domains, known as the global knowledge stage. The IKAN interview is for students at the counting stages of the number framework. It can be carried out formally in a one-on-one situation or in a small group setting. The IKAN written test is for students at the part-whole stages of the number framework. Whilst IKAN informs what we know about a student's number knowledge, this assessment on its own is insufficient to give a full picture of a student's achievement in number. More information is available from the nzmaths online PD. The IKAN assessments are available on the nzmaths website.

The planning space allows you create collections of resources from this website.
nzmaths have added a resources finder to make it easier for you to find your way around.
I hope this is useful, Rachael.
