It is important to note that only ONE BOOK is needed for ONE year, i. e. Level 2 Book 1 for Year 3 and Level 2 Book 2 for Year 4. Each book caters for ONE YEARS teaching.

Text Book
Level 2 Book 2 (Year 4)


The National Curriculum Mathematics series is written specifically for the New Zealand Curriculum providing a comprehensive coverage of the level achievement objectives and suggested learning experience as well as revision from the previous level. The books with material arranged in strands enable a student or group of students to work at different levels in their strand.

This attractive and clearly laid out text develops mathematical communication through “Think about this” activities. “Check Up” and “Looking Back” provide plenty of reinforcement to aid the learning cycle. Along the way games, puzzles, practicals and investigations abound. There is lots of material in these books to extend a brighter child.

Pupils love MathU, the cartoon character.  In Level 2 Book 1, MathU leads them through five exciting and enriching lands.  In Level 2 Book 2 MathU joins 5 friends - Tui, Dolphin, Kiwi, Lizard and Fantail.  In each strand they go to different, fascinating and magical places.  These books are real favourites with teachers and student alike.
