PL Package
Structured Maths Approach Professional Learning Package is an in person service to deliver and set up using Structured Maths Approach in your class, team or school.
Structured Maths Approach provides teachers with a clear roadmap, ensuring that each concept build upon the foundation laid before it. By carefully sequencing mathematical topics and activities, Structured Maths Approach empowers young learners to gradually develop their skills and confidence. With a well-organized structure, teachers can create a supportive learning environment that allows students to thrive, leading to a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
This professional learning package is a great way to introduce the resource and be fully supported with its implementation. Teachers will feel confident and have a deep understanding of the resource, its research and how it links to NZ Curriculum.
Why Choose Structured Maths Approach:
Clear progression of learning
Clear progression of learning
For Structured Maths Approach, it was vital that the resource has a clear progression of learning both in its teaching scope and sequence, but the lesson sequence in the classroom. Research indicates the need for this in building explicit instruction and as a key principle of instruction in the classroom.
This lesson sequence was adapted from a 'structured literacy' lense, inspiring the creation of a layered building block of knowledge for students to grow and learn and have opportunities for that 'high stakes' ceiling learning. It was extremely important that Structured Maths Approach offered that same consistency for teachers to build confidence with using mathematics and for its success.
The lesson sequence is used in every lesson, whether you are using Structured Maths Approach in whole class, small groups or workshops. This helps build routine, consistency and strong instructional practices that offer daily review, small steps, guided practice and support with cognitive load theory.

Links to New Zealand Curriculum
The New Zealand curriculum refresh brought out many new changes to maths in NZ, with the main being the change around to curriculum levels. Typically, the NZ Curriculum has had curriculum levels with achievement objects for students to achieve in those levels. With this refresh, the levels have been taken away and reworked into the 'understand, know, do' through progress steps and outcomes.
Structured Maths Approach is aligned to the progress outcomes, covering number know hows. Featured and covered in the lessons Phase 1-9 are:
- number structure
- operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- rational numbers
- financial maths
Strand resources reflect the additional progress outcomes to give a solid understanding of mathematical concepts.
