Wilkie Way Maths

Wilke Way products follow numeracy development from recognising numbers through to multiplicative thinking. The games have an emphasis on the required basic fact knowledge required to think mathematically while other products provide opportunities to put mathematics into practice.

All products have been designed based on the latest international research in mathematical development and learning.

COUNTRIES

Ghana

We began new work in Ghana, working alongside three schools filled with students eager to learn and with little or no resources and limited trained teachers. One school is constructed of wooden planks with gapping holes. Children sit five to a table sharing a book.

India

We took a team of four people from New Zealand and worked in the foothills of the Himalayas with teachers from six schools under the umbrella of one organization. These schools are in mountain villages where some children have to walk 3 hours a day to attend.

South Africa

The RATA New Zealand teachers will fly to CapeTown with a planned stop over. In CapeTown we will revisit our favourite tourist destinations and as always we will stay in the suburb of Observatory and drink the marvelous Horlicks milkshakes at OBS café.
