Maths Under the New Curriculum: What Parents Need to Know
The New Zealand education landscape is evolving, with significant changes to mathematics education in 2025. The refreshed Mathematics and Statistics curriculum represents a substantial shift in how mathematics is taught in primary schools. For students with diagnosed learning needs, these curriculum changes present both opportunities and challenges. As qualified specialists with extensive experience in supporting diverse learning requirements, we are uniquely positioned to help your child navigate these changes through diagnostic assessment, targeted intervention, and evidence-based techniques.
Supporting Learners with Diagnosed Needs: A Specialist Perspective

Generic solutions often fall short - that's why we're committed to evidence-based, personalised interventions that celebrate neurodiversity and empower learners to thrive.
