Information about e-ako maths

What is e-ako maths

  • e-ako maths is a resource created to support students who are having difficulty developing a sound knowledge and understanding of important maths ideas.
  • e-ako maths is designed to complement and support your existing teaching programme and is not intended to be a stand alone tool for teaching these important concepts. The supporting resources linked below will help integrate e-ako maths into your class programme.
  • Each student will have their own account so that they can explore the material at their own pace. Each account needs to have a unique username, but the accounts can share an email address so you could use a class email address if you wish.
  • e-ako maths provides a pathway of interactive learning modules (e-ako) for students to work through. Students can choose from the available e-ako, with assessment e-ako restricting access to more difficult material.
  • Each e-ako contains both teaching screens and interactive elements for students to complete. These interactive elements include matching tasks, multiple choice questions, and short answer questions.
  • It is a free resource that is linked to the NZ Maths website. It is designed for New Zealand students.
