NCEA Level 1 Pāngarau

It is the Level 1 Pāngarau subject in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, so mathematics is learned and assessed in te reo Māori. The NZQA page links to the Kaupae 1 achievement standards, past assessments, exemplars, assessment plans and reports. Check the standards themselves and the Level 1 Pāngarau learning outcomes on NCEA.education for the exact content.

Through a mix of aromatawai ā-waho (external assessment) and aromatawai ā-roto (internal assessment), with digital assessment resources also provided. For 2026, the external standards listed are Pāngarau 92067 and Pāngarau 92068, both on 28 o Oketopa. Internal assessment is organised through kāhui moderation rounds.

Pāngarau 92067 and Pāngarau 92068 are both scheduled for 28 o Oketopa, according to the 2026 assessment dates on the NZQA Pāngarau page. Confirm your personalised timetable and any derived-grade or clash arrangements through your school and the NZQA learner portal rather than relying on this summary.

The page lists three kāhui rounds in 2026: Kāhui 1 on 22–23 o Ākuhata, Kāhui 2 on 16–18 o Oketopa, and Kāhui 3 on 12–14 o Tīhema. Your kaiako should tell you which round applies to your internal standards, so plan your submission dates backwards from that round.

Difficulty depends on the standards you choose and your fluency in both the mathematics and te reo Māori. The page gives no pass rates or difficulty ratings, so do not rely on rumour. Work through past assessments and exemplars for each standard, and ask your kaiako which standards best match your strengths.

The source page does not state a retake policy, so confirm directly with your school and NZQA. In practice, internal standards may offer further assessment opportunities at your school's discretion, while external standards follow the official examination timetable. Do not assume a resit is available without checking.

Start with the current achievement standards and the Kete Manarua specifications, tasks and assessment plans, because these define what is assessed. Then work through past assessments and exemplars standard by standard, and use the digital assessment material to practise the online format. Ask your kaiako to check your internal assessment plan against the kāhui rounds.

Studying from old material instead of the current standards and specifications, ignoring exemplars, and leaving internal assessment work until the kāhui moderation round is close. Another common problem is not practising the digital assessment format. The page does not publish failure statistics, so treat these as practical risks rather than sourced data.

No. The page links to external assessment specifications for 2027, but the source does not state any 2027 values, so the 2026 dates and arrangements remain in force. Check the NZQA page again before planning for 2027, since future dates may change.
