Four interconnected mātāpono aronui (values) underpin maths learning in Kōwhiti Whakapae. These are: Whatumanawa, Whare, Whānau, Whenua. Learn more about how these four mātāpono aronui underpin number and measurement.
Number and measurement involves using the number system for purposeful activity with objects and quantities. The regularity and structure of the number system helps us arrange and count objects and compare quantities at a rich exploratory level in the early years.
Knowledge, skills and attitudes associated with number and measurement are woven through all strands of Te Whāriki and are particularly evident in Mana reo | Communication, and Mana aotūroa | Exploration.
Kōwhiti Whakapae is built on four foundations: Te Tiriti o Waitangi, identity, language and culture, inclusion, and the principles of Te Whāriki. Together, these foundations impact teaching and learning about number and measurement.
