The Government's putting $100 million into primary and intermediate maths in this year's Budget.

It will be used for maths checks in the first two years of school, to identify the students struggling with the subject. 

About $40 million will go towards tutoring at intermediate level.

Upper Hutt Principals' Association President Robyn Brown told Ryan Bridge there's many children with diverse needs in our schools.

She says children are going to be accessing additional support for numeracy and literacy, when they need more support for their learning needs.
