The New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum is divided into 8 levels of learning. Below is a summary of the NZC levels and associated National Standards (for students aged 6 to 13) and NCEA levels (NZ national assessment) if applicable. There is a degree of flexibility within these guidelines for students to learn subject content earlier or later than the guidelines. New Zealand students typically start school at 5 years of age.
| NZCurriculum | Year at School | Approx. age of student | National Standards | NCEA Ach. Stds |
| Level 1 | 1, 2 | 5-7 yrs | After 1 yr, After 2 yrs | |
| Level 2 | 3, 4 | 7-9 yrs | After 3 yrs, After 4 yrs | |
| Level 3 | 5, 6 | 9-11 yrs | After 5 yrs, After 6 yrs | |
| Level 4 | 7, 8 | 11-13 yrs | After 7 yrs, After 8 yrs | |
| Level 5 | 9, 10 | 13-15 yrs | ||
| Level 6 | 11 | 15-16 yrs | NCEA Level 1 | |
| Level 7 | 12 | 16-17 yrs | NCEA Level 2 | |
| Level 8 | 13 | 17-18 yrs | NCEA Level 3 |

Note
The Department of Statistics, The University of Auckland, recommends AS3.10 Use Statistical Methods to make a Formal Inference, AS3.9 Investigate Bivariate Measurement Data, and AS3.13 Apply Probability Concepts in Solving Problems as a statistics core course for the approved subject Statistics or for a Mathematics course for students hoping to proceed to study Statistics at University.
