Te Mātāpuna has a fresh new redesign for today’s learners of Te la Reo. This He Pukapuka Mahi (Workbook) for Te Mātāpuna is made up of 25 assignments — five for each of the first five chapters of the Rauemi Akonga (Textbook). The assignments reinforce the vocabulary and structures introduced in the textbook. The first of each cluster consists of several word puzzles. In between there are a variety of exercises such as: • matching questions and answers • finding the right word or phrase from a list to match pictures • creating conversations from a list of sentences • making up answers to questions either from information in pictures or from the questions themselves. The assignments have been designed to be worked through by students on their own, but can be used for work in pairs, or in a group.

The teacher's resource is an annotated edition of He Rauemi Akonga (student's textbook) combined with He Pukapuka Mahi (student's workbook). It is designed for reference and classroom use by teachers and for self-paced learning by students. Answers, sometimes with alternatives, are given in red within the various exercises. In the textbook, English translations are given underneath the Hei Mahi instructions. "Whakarongo mai" exercises have an additional reference section that includes the audio transcript, along with scripts for teacher's instructions if the audio version is not being used.
