Maths+&+Numeracy



The Number Framework is intended to help teachers, parents and students understand the stages of learning of number knowledge and understanding. There are two sections to the Number Framework. The Strategy section describes the processes students use to solve problems involving numbers - how they work things out. The Knowledge section describes the key items about number that children know and can recall quickly. The two sections are linked, with children requiring knowledge to improve their strategies, and using strategies to develop new knowledge.
 * What is the NZ Numeracy Project (Number Framework)?**

The Strategy section of the Number Framework describes a series of stages that children progress through as they develop their understanding of a range of strategies for solving number problems. There are eight stages altogether, with the first three often grouped together: There are three areas, or 'domains' within the Strategy section, which describe a child's ability to solve different types of problems (additive, multiplicative and proportional).
 * The Strategy Section**
 * **Stage 0-3: Counting from One** - children can solve problems by counting from one, either using materials or in their head.
 * **Stage 4: Advanced Counting** - children can solve problems by counting in ones, or by skip counting, starting from numbers other than one.
 * **Stage 5: Early Additive** - children can solve simple problems by splitting up and adding together the numbers in their head.
 * **Stage 6: Advanced Additive** - children use a range of different methods to solve more challenging problems in their head.
 * **Stage 7: Advanced Multiplicative** - children use a range of different methods to solve multiplication and division problems in their head.
 * **Stage 8: Advanced Proportional** - children can solve complicated problems involving fractions, decimals and percentages using a combination of methods.

The Knowledge section is usually broken down into five areas, referred to as 'domains': Numeral Identification, Number Sequence and Order, Grouping/Place Value, Basic Facts, and Written Recording.
 * The Knowledge Section**
 * **Number Identification and Order** - activities to help children learn to read numbers and know the order of numbers.
 * **Place Value** - activities to help children learn how 10s, 100s, 1000s, tenths, hundredths, thousandths etc are used.
 * **Number Facts** - activities that will help children learn their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.
