- Re-look at lay the groundwork. How could you strengthen learning for all children?
- Continue to notice & recognise the progress of individual children.
- Keep adjusting how you respond to children’s progress based on what you notice.
Four interconnected mātāpono aronui (values) underpin each maths area in Kōwhiti Whakapae. These are: Whatumanawa, Whare, Whānau, Whenua. Learn more about how these four mātāpono aronui underpin space and measurement.
Space and measurement includes concepts and language about shape, size, location, distance, and spatial visualisation. Children learn about space through movement, imagination, and a range of experiences of different spaces from their perspective.
Knowledge, skills and attitudes associated with space 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 space and measurement.
