If you’ve ever wondered what ‘fractions’ looks like in class, a new online guide may help.

The Ministry of Education’s Parent Portal is now live on the Ministry of Education website with every learning area of the refreshed, knowledge-rich curriculum from Year 0 to Year 10, including draft areas.

Education Minister Erica Stanford says it is designed to help parents see what their child will learn at each year level in a clear and understandable way.

For Hibiscus Coast families, it means you can pop in, click through the year levels, and get a feel for what the proposed new curriculum looks like across every learning area, with more activities and resources also due to be added to support key learning at home over summer.

The first new resource will be a curriculum-aligned, freely available online maths practice tool for children in Years 3 to 8, due next Tuesday.

It will cover basic facts, fractions, rounding, working with money, place value, counting patterns, square numbers, and word problems, with further content planned for January for children ready for more topics.

Consultation is currently open for feedback on the Year 0 to 10 draft learning areas, so locals might see this become an easy go-to for a midweek hit or a weekend catch-up.
