NCEA Level 1 Pāngarau · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Pāngarau Kaupae 1 is the Level 1 Pāngarau subject page for NCEA, delivered through Te Marautanga o Aotearoa - the Māori-medium curriculum. It is aimed at ākonga (students) learning mathematics in te reo Māori, and at the kaiako (teachers) who teach and assess them. The page is a hub: it links to the achievement standards for Kaupae 1, 2 and 3, to past assessments, exemplars, assessment plans and assessment reports, and to digital assessment (aromatawai matihiko) resources. Assessment is split between aromatawai ā-waho (external) and aromatawai ā-roto (internal). The NCEA Level 1 Pāngarau case studies are 5 cases and about 3,607 words.
