PR1ME IN A AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND CONTEXT

                                 

Understand - Know - Do Overview

PR1ME and Math Pro are thoughtfully designed to align with the NZ Curriculum’s "Understand, Know, and Do" framework, ensuring that students not only acquire essential mathematical knowledge but also develop a deep understanding of the concepts and engage in meaningful mathematical practices. Through these programmes, educators can effectively prepare students to navigate the complexities of mathematics in both academic settings and real-life situations.

Understand
PR1ME emphasises the development of big ideas in mathematics and statistics. PR1ME encourages students to make connections between classroom learning and real-world applications, helping them grasp critical concepts. For example, PR1ME's focus on problem-solving and reasoning allows students to understand how mathematical principles apply in various contexts, fostering a deeper comprehension of the relevance and significance of maths in everyday life. By integrating rich, contextual problems, PR1ME help students build a robust understanding of key mathematical ideas as they progress through the learning phases.

Know
The "Know" component of the NZ Curriculum focuses on essential mathematical concepts and procedures across six strands: number, algebra, measurement, geometry, statistics, and probability. PR1ME supports this by providing a structure that breaks down these strands into manageable, meaningful units. It includes targeted content that emphasizes foundational skills in numbers and operations, geometric concepts, statistical reasoning, and probability. Through systematic instruction and practice, students gain a solid understanding of these important concepts, which are crucial for their mathematical development.

Do
The "Do" aspect involves the processes students use to engage with mathematics. PR1ME facilitates this through hands-on activities and problem-solving tasks that encourage students to apply their knowledge and understanding in practical situations. Both programs promote the use of various mathematical representations, including visual aids, manipulatives, and digital tools, allowing students to explore, experiment, and consolidate their learning. By focusing on active participation and collaboration, students learn to think critically and develop their mathematical reasoning, which aligns with the "Do" framework of the NZ Curriculum.
