Home Page Teachers Primary Pupils Secondary Students Events and PD "It gave me some good ideas to use in the classroom and ... a link that I can get all of the activities from." Book NRICH Bespoke PDBook Forthcoming EventsBook our Hands-on Roadshow Your Solutions Mandatory Math Apps Some mandatory apps that your students might not life without, in your math classroom. I will only give you the top 5 to save room and not overwhelm your iPads when you try to download them all. I only purchase apps that are free, because educators are strapped for cash as it is. Evernote Evernote is an easy-to-use, free app that helps you remember everything across all of the devices you use. Stay organized, save your ideas and improve productivity. WolframAlpha ViewerIf your students have an iPhone S or 5 then they can get results from WolframAlpha with Siri. Educreations Educreations turns your iPad into a recordable whiteboard. This app was new to me a week ago and have found it very useful in the classroom. Aurasma The last and perhaps my favorite app of all time is Aurasma.

Numeracy Projects The Numeracy Development Projects (NDP) were a collection of Ministry-funded, in-school professional learning and development initiatives implemented in New Zealand schools between 2000 and 2009. The goal of the NDP was to improve student performance in mathematics through improving the professional capability of teachers. The NDP knowledge and strategy frameworks (the Number Framework) strongly influenced the development of the mathematics and statistics learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum, and in particular the number and algebra strand. Information about the NDP Online numeracy PD: Information to help teachers understand and implement the NDP. Representational framework: Illustrates each Number Framework stage using work samples and video clips. Books: PDFs of the NDP books and information on ordering hard copies. Material masters: used in NDP activities. Equipment animations: show how to use common classroom equipment to teach numeracy concepts.

Official Blog — Cultivating confident and curious learners Examples of Learning Intentions and Success Criteria The example learning intentions (LI) and success criteria (SC) provided are mostly taken from the book, Bringing Students into the Formative Assessment Equation, or from the resource "Lesson Purposes, Guidelines Summary." See the relevant pages for more context for the related lesson. Related Common Core State Standards Each example has Common Core State Standards associated that we feel are related to the intended content. This may mean a direct relationship (the content directly addresses the standard), but the LI may instead be foundational for the standard—that is, the LI may be necessary before the standard can be addressed. Common Core Mathematical Practices Any LI and SC can be the basis for a lesson that incorporates use of the standards for mathematical practice; the practices emerge in the way students engage with the content, rather than through particular content.

Teaching resources for Primary schools MoneySmart Teaching offers quality resources for primary teachers from Foundation to Year 6 that are aligned to the Australian curriculum. Our units of work and teacher guides give educators lesson plans that they can take directly into the classroom.

Featured resource: How much love can fit into a shoebox? In our Year 4 maths unit How much love can fit into a shoebox? Each student will present a plan for a shoebox of love, using the mathematics of the unit with supporting calculations and appropriate explanations. Aligned with Australian Curriculum English and mathematics, students will read and interpret different texts for meaning and make connections between fractions and decimal notation, and solve problems involving purchases and the calculation of change.
