NEW MATHS RESOURCES
Schools can order the new Ministry-funded maths resources to support the implementation of the revised maths and statistics curriculum for Years 0–8.
Ordering quantities will be based on roll numbers. If your school has not placed an order for maths resources, please send your roll numbers at each year level as well as your teacher numbers to: maths.resources@education.govt.nz including your MOE number.
Please try to avoid placing multiple orders within a small window as orders are packed and distributed individually and can lead to increased shipping costs.
