Gaven Martin: Massey University Distinguished Professor in Mathematics discusses boost for classroom resources

A significant investment's in store for primary schools - as maths results begin to improve. The Education Minister's set to announce a boost for classroom resources and teacher support this afternoon. It comes as 36% of Year 6s met maths expectations in 2025 - up from 30%.  Massey University Distinguished Mathematics Professor Gaven Martin says that's more than four thousand extra students succeeding. He says if this success persists, it's tens of thousands doing well, when they were otherwise failing. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
