Resources for Schools

The latest issue of Kind Matters is now available, featuring classroom-ready content on sheep welfare, supporting native wildlife, and hands-on sustainability activities. Students can learn what to do if they find a baby bird, explore the needs of farm animals, and create a self-watering planter while building empathy and practical animal care knowledge.

We're also running a fun short Sheep Quiz based on facts from this issue! Encourage your ākonga to test their knowledge about these woolly animals and see how much they've learned. Read the latest issue and take the quiz for a chance to win a prize.

We’re looking for teachers to join our new Teacher Advisory Group and tell us how our resources work in real classrooms. Your feedback will help keep them practical, engaging and relevant for ākonga across Aotearoa.

As a member, you might test new resources with your class, share student feedback, take part in short online surveys or focus groups, and suggest ways to make our resources easier to use and more accessible. You choose what you’d like to be involved in.

Participation is voluntary and flexible. We know teachers are busy, so you can contribute as much or as little as suits you.

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.
