Dragon Maths 5 : The New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum

Dragon Maths 5 Third Edition is a 140 page write-on student workbook that contains a full mathematics programme suitable for most Year 7 students. It revises work at mathematics curriculum Level 3 and starts work on Level 4. It guides students through the Multiplicative Stages (stages 6-7) of the Number Framework. This revised edition includes two new chapters devoted to combining strands into challenging problem solving tasks (Number together with Algebra and Geometry together with Measurement). These chapters require students to understand both topics to solve a range of real life problems. There are also some extra pages devoted to numeracy practice - additions, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Each chapter is based on a strand of the New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum document. The Number and Algebra strand has been allocated 6 chapters (75 pages) to adequately cover all the numeracy strategies currently being taught in primary schools. A revision test is provided at the end of each chapter.
