Make your assessment practices and maths teaching exciting, 

engaging and accessible for all your learners


Ministry Accredited PLD providers

MOE- approved providers to support schools with the new Curriculum

We are a unique service for New Zealand Schools - we focus on mathematics PLD with an emphasis on structured teaching also known as MASTERY. We have a passion for seeing mathematics grow in New Zealand's primary, intermediate and secondary schools.

We are also approved PLD providers on Assessment - both Numeracy and Literacy.

Assessment is the bridge between teaching and learning.

Assessment that informs decisions about adapting teaching practice is moment by moment and ongoing (NZ Curriculum, Oct 2024)

Assessment enables students, teachers, school leaders, boards of trustees, parents, whānau, and the Ministry to evaluate the impact of improved teacher knowledge and practices on student learning and achievement.

Assessment-capable teachers constantly seek evidence and information that will help them adapt teaching, and equip students, so that learning is successful.

The Curriculum Refresh

Maths Associates welcomes the release of the new Maths curriculum recently released by the Ministry of Education along with the continued expectation of teaching structured maths in 2026.  

Maths Associates has seen school after school being incredibly successful lifting the achievement level of their students across the full spectrum of gifted through to those who have neuro-diverse needs and those who are struggling.  

When you apply the principles of structured maths with visual learning, as John Hattie recommends and using a Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract approach with manipulatives, you raise the achievement of every child.  

We are successful in being awarded contracts to deliver PLD to help schools implement good assessment practices, structured maths and the new curriculum.
