What teachers are saying
“The books are easy to use for both the teacher and children. Clear explanations of teaching. I like the ‘What we have learnt’ at the end of a unit. The videos are fantastic.”
Kendra Hall, Hampstead School, Ashburton
“It has such a clear scope and sequence. It is so easy to plan for and takes away the worry of having to come up with all the ideas on your own. Kids enjoy it as they can see where they are now and where they are heading next.”
Rebecca McNeill, Duntroon School, Oamaru
“PR1ME Mathematics provides well-structured and progressive activities that support conceptual understanding. The lessons are clearly sequenced, easy to follow and build on prior knowledge. Students genuinely enjoy working through the tasks, especially on their Chromebooks.”
Anish Krishna, Balfour School, Balfour
“I like how the course book and practice book align. The course book allows for great teacher modelling, and the practice book is set out well for students, with not too much on the page to overload our neurodiverse students.”

What Students Are Saying
“PR1ME is helpful, it breaks maths down in useful ways. The table of contents is helpful. It's helping me get better at Maths.”
Jackson (Year 6)
Ohakune School
“I like the column method and where you put 25 on top and 11 on the bottom makes it easier. I enjoy PR1ME online.”
Arlo (Year 3)
Freyberg Community School
“I love my PR1ME book! Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's hard which makes it fun! The Mind Stretchers are challenging so we talk about it and solve those as a group.”
Bella (Year 4)
Sherenden and Districts School (Hawkes Bay)
“I find algorithms easy but the regrouping can be hard sometimes. I love my practice book because it helps me write my thinking out.”
Kobi (Year 5)
