Course Overview
Nailing Numeracy is a 12-week course designed to help Year 12 and 13 students meet the NCEA Level 1 Numeracy Co-requisite. In this course, ākonga (students) will develop essential mathematical skills and concepts to confidently tackle real-world problems. They will learn how to apply numeracy in practical contexts, from interpreting data and statistics to understanding patterns, shapes, and financial literacy.
Learning Goals
- Fluently and flexibly solve problems that require operations on numbers, understanding the relative size of those numbers, and making sense of the answer in context.
- Recognise and work with mathematical relationships.
- Understand and use the spatial properties and representations of objects.
- Understand and use systems for location and navigation.
- Use numbers and units to measure and express attributes of objects and events as quantities, with a degree of precision appropriate to the context.
- Understand and reason with statistics and data.
- Use probability to interpret situations that involve elements of chance.

Kia ora! My name is Kate Staniford, I am the Principal at Twizel Area School. I have been a Mathematics teacher for more than 20 years in both Wales and New Zealand. I live in Twizel with my husband and daughter. We have another daughter who lives and works in Christchurch. At home, we have a rescue pup called Theo and a very noisy Siamese cat called Elvis. My favourite things to do are Maths (obviously, lol), walking the dog and having a paddleboard at the lake.
