Manatoa’s summative assessments are aligned with the new NZC maths curriculum and can be used as practical alternatives to tools like e-asTTle, IKAN, GLoSS, and PAT—providing meaningful data to support teaching and reporting, while we wait for new resources to be developed by the Ministry of Education.
In 2025, the New Zealand Ministry of Education released a refreshed Maths & Statistics and English for Years 0–8 and 0–6, respectively.
Each curriculum includes a clear “teaching sequence” showing the knowledge, skills, and competencies to introduce at every year level. By mapping out a structured progression, these sequences help teachers gradually build on prior learning.
Unfortunately, the useful information in these documents is not in a mobile-friendly format.
Our curriculum explorer provides a mobile-friendly way to explore the teaching sequences for the refreshed curriculum.
We've also started annotating the ministry's teaching sequences with useful links and resources:

The Manatoa maths lesson planner helps teachers map out and organise their maths programme for the year, ensuring full curriculum coverage and clear learning progressions.
