Latest Kind Matters Issue

Explore our new Maths Task Cards, designed to engage students with real-life animal guardianship contexts while strengthening key maths skills. Aligned by curriculum phase and year level, each set includes 20 task cards: 10 blue cards for Number and Algebra, 5 green cards for Statistics and Probability, and 5 red cards for Geometry and Measurement.

Each card features a word problem, with an animal welfare reminder that reinforces responsible animal care. On the reverse side, students and teachers will find step-by-step solution guidance, the correct answer, and extension questions to deepen thinking and support independent, group, or whole-class learning.

Maths Resources

Explore our three new reading resources, carefully designed to align with the refreshed English curriculum phases. These engaging, animal-focused texts support literacy development while building empathy and understanding of animal welfare. Students will strengthen key skills such as vocabulary, inference, and critical thinking, while learning about responsible animal care and the role of SPCA in their community.

Each resource includes differentiated response materials, comprehension questions, and follow-up activities tailored to curriculum expectations at each phase.
