Numeracy is a critical life skill that plays a crucial role in our daily routines and decision making. From simple tasks like reading a clock or measuring ingredients, to complex tasks like navigating a budget, reading a map, or planning a trip, numeracy is essential. Improving students' numeracy skills can lead to greater success in their future careers, enhance their quality of life, and contribute to the economic growth of the nation.
According to recent Education Review Office reports, high-quality teaching is a key factor in improving students' numeracy skills. Effective teachers use a variety of strategies to engage students, support their learning, and build their confidence in mathematics.
Unfortunately, the latest results from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) survey indicate that a significant number of New Zealand students struggle with mathematical concepts. Despite this, 84% of Year 1-10 students and in our Kāhui Ako are currently achieving at or above curriculum expectations in Numeracy. However, it's worth noting that Māori (71%) and Pacific students (66%), in particular, are not performing as well as their peers in mathematics.
