Here are some resources from nzmaths that will hopefully support you get started with your numeracy teaching... Expectations for number ... The ALiM (Accelerating learning in mathematics) project has provided some resources for supporting struggling children.  They give good examples of how to develop 'target' maths lessons across the levels.  This will hopefully be added to in the future. nzmaths also has resources for supporting  bright sparks ! Teaching number knowledge... The number framework identifies five knowledge domains: Number Identification , e.g. 5 means “five”, or 7/8 means “seven-eighths” Number Order and Sequence , e.g. the number after 16 is 17, or the multiple of 10 after 490 is 500 Grouping and Place Value , e.g. 10 can be grouped as 7 and 3, or 23.4 is 234 tenths Number Facts  e.g. 3 + 3 = 6, or the square root of 100 is 10 Written Recording , e.g. use of empty number lines or written working forms. Stage 2-3 Stage 4 Stage 5 ...

I have collated some planning, assessment and organisation information from nzmaths to hopefully make it easier for you... Effective numeracy classrooms Effective pedagogy in mathematics booklet Share you classroom organisation ideas here... 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 c...
