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 pattern and relationships.
Pattern and relationships involve noticing, creating, and using patterns for purposeful experiences. Maths patterns are based on a regular structure that fosters prediction, and patterns are evident in art, design, construction, daily routines, and playful experiences.
Knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with pattern and relationships 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 pattern and relationships.
