Maths Week Sets and Resources
In previous years, Maths Week resources have been classified by levels. As from this year, they will be classified by Sets as follows.
-
Set A – primarily for Years 1 and 2.
-
Set B – primarily for Years 3 and 4.
-
Set C – primarily for Years 5 and 6.
-
Set D – primarily for Years 7 and 8.
-
Set E – primarily for Years 9, 10 and 11.
This will mean that teachers can use different resources in the same class without any reference to different levels. Not all sections have material for all sets (see details below).
Maths Week resources are either quizzes or worksheets.
- Quizzes have short answer questions or multiple choice questions.
- Worksheets provide mathematical activities and questions. They can be downloaded and printed by teachers
The 2024 Maths Week resources are as follows.
