Curriculum FrameworkTexts

OTRNet Publications is currently producing a series of modular maths texts for students in Years 8, 9 and 10 (13 - 15 years) preparing for upper school tertiary bound courses. 

These modular math texts are based on the Curriculum Framework Learning Area Outcomes for Mathematics and will integrate various outcomes from multiple strands. 

Modules will be published for both students and teachers containing all of the necessary materials for both groups.

 It is the intention to produce modules which :

• are flexible for programming

• provide a wide range and more than adequate quantity of materials for teachers to choose from

• use modern technology where appropriate

• reflect current educational thinking on student learning  i.e are student centred and reflect a constructivist approach

• contain fully developed activities with solutions and analysis for teachers

OTRNet Publications has also published a teacher resource with 20 Mathematical Investigations including an assessment task for each. These investigations will be an excellent resource for assessing the Working Mathematically strand. This publication will contain the investigations from the OTRNet Subscription Service, Category A: Investigation 1. 

The primary maths series "Networking Tables" which supports the Curriculum Framework and is written around the number strand is also available through Online Teachers' Resource Network.
