Using rulers
Try using (paper) rulers in a listening activity. Name two addends and ask the students to make number line jumps to arrive at the sum, saying what they are doing in te reo Māori as they go, for example:
| Māori vocabulary | English translation |
|---|---|
| Tīmata i te iwa, tāpirihia kia whā ... | Start at nine, add four ... |
| ... ka tekau mā toru. | ... makes thirteen. |
