Mighty Maths

Mighty Maths Numeracy Project

This excellent booklet from Kim Freeman contains 16 double sided pages of numeracy work for Year 7 and up. These are not just ordinary pages of mindless addition, subtraction, multiplication and division but a collection of worksheets that help students become more aware of numbers, how they are related as well as little tricks to help make numeracy more interesting and fun. There are: addition pyramids, number hunts, methods of multiplication, beautiful numbers, adding over the tens, adding in parts, number bonds, partitioning, Fibonacci minutes, division tips, 24 challenge, four 4s and consecutive numbers. Use them as homework sheets or during class.

National Standards Years 1 and 2

These excellent pages support the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum, the New Zealand Mathematics Standards and the New Zealand Numeracy Programme.  After 1 year at school, students should be achieving at Level 1 of the Curriculum. Year 1 of the Mathematics Curriculum is focused mainly on number and the manipulation of small numbers. Students should be able to count to 10 and add, subtract and multiply numbers with totals up to 10. They should also be able to recognise shapes and compare lengths areas and capacities. Finally, they should be able to follow or give directions forward, back, turn left and turn right.

After 2 years at school students will still be achieving at Level 1 however they should be able to count and manipulate numbers to 100. They should be able to continue number patterns based on ones, twos, fives and tens. They should also be able to compare different measures, complete simple transformations and represent simple statistical data in categories.

Test your child or students using these sheets. Then for a complete learning sequence download Mighty Maths Beginner Mathematician for 4-6 year olds and Mighty Maths Developing Mathematician for 5-7 year olds. The books are available below. You can be confident that you are covering all the right work when you use Mighty Maths.

Part 1, Introducing Numbers

Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 make up a complete beginner math book with 96 pages on writing numbers, counting, an introduction to arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Within this book you will find a page of work for all math topics covered in the first two years of school. Part 1 introduces children to the concept of counting and writing the numbers 1 to 10. After completing these sheets children will be able to recognise and write each of these numbers and use them for counting objects. The complete book should be used in conjunction with Mahobe’s red ‘Beginner Mathematics’ series for 4-6 year olds. They are also available below for download.

Part 2, Introducing More Numbers

Part 2 encourages children to count small numbers of objects and then moves on to bigger numbers up to 20. From these sheets children will recognise how some numbers are larger or smaller than others. Many students enter school without being able to count or recognise numbers. These free sheets will help give your child a head start in mathematics.

Part 3, Introducing Addition and Subtraction

Part 3 encourages children to learn addition and subtraction. These pages are ideally used as a stand alone module of work or used alongside Mahobe’s red ‘Beginner Mathematics’ series: Book 2, “Lets Use Numbers” and Book 3, “Addition and Subtraction are Easy”. This series is available for download below and will help give them a real head start when they start school or will move them up a level as the pages will help consolidate the work already being learnt in class. 

Part 4, Introducing Multiplication and Division

Part 4 introduces the concept of multiplication having the students describe numbers of objects, and grouping them. These pages are ideally used after working through Mahobe’s red ‘Beginner Mathematics’ series, especially Book 4, “Multiplication and Division are Fun” (available for download below). This series is really fun to use and will give them a real head start when they start school or will move them ahead of others as the pages will help consolidate the work being learnt in class.
