The Ministry of Education has recently revealed their new draft math's curriculum for years 0 - 10, making this new curriculum the third in three years.
In announcing the move, Education Minister, Erica Stanford, says the new curriculum is another step forward for the country producing a world-leading system for all students.
However, the new curriculum has faced criticism, such as around the amount of time educators are expected to have implemented the new curriculum.
As a result, multiple open letters have been sent to the government. In an open letter from 44 maths education experts yesterday, they say the changes “seem more political than educational”.
News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Lisa Darragh, a Senior Curriculum and Pedagogy Researcher at the University of Auckland, about this new curriculum and what her thoughts are on it.
Elle spoke to Amélie, Elisa and Maxence of Lyon-based electronic trio eat-girls about their latest single Off The. An expansion of their sound on their more experimental debut album Area Silenzio, which was crafted through a series of live performances. The single continues the band’s penchant for strong bass lines and synth-laden harmonies. A fun-fact, they add to the Sof and Elle list of dog songs with Canine.
The wonderful Reb Fountain joins Sof and Elle with some guest selections ahead of Exploding Rainbow Orchestra Songbook Volume Four next week at the Whakamana Cannabis Museum!
Featuring a gorgeous What's Cooking with the wonderful Reb Fountain, and Elle's kōrero with Lyon-based electronic trio eat-girls about their latest single Off The and their upcoming debut album Area Silenzio.
