National Curriculum 2014 – Aims
4
Balance
5
Procedural fluency
Conceptual understanding
Models and Images
• To be able to attain higher expectations we need children to have a strong sense of number.
• There’s also a need for children to move fluently between representations of mathematical ideas.
6
Task
Have a look at key changes between the old maths framework and new national curriculum
Which changes have the biggest implications for the learning and teaching of maths?
7
The Big Picture
8
• Children’s conceptual understanding should be developed.
• Appendix 1 – “Examples of formal written methods”
- This list is not exhaustive, nor does it represent progression in calculation
Assessment
• Levels will not be a part of new assessment framework from 2016
• Standardised assessment is currently being written for Year 2 and Year 6
• Schools are expected to develop their own strategies for monitoring pupil progress
Key Dates for Assessment
2013/2014:• Years 1, 2, 5 and 6 follow present curriculum for maths• The maths curriculum has already been disapplied for Years
3 and 4, allowing schools to engage with the new curriculum
2014/2015:• Years 2 and 6 follow present curriculum for maths• All other year groups follow the new maths curriculum
2015/2016:• All year groups follow the new maths curriculum
Implications for Year 6 SATsIn May 2014: • There will be no calculator paper for Levels 3-5,
although a calculator paper will remain for Level 6• Paper 1 and 2 replace Test A and B. A mental maths test will remain.

What did we do?
• Looked at one year group in depth and prioritised learning objectives for the autumn, spring and summer terms *
• Used mind mapping for one strand (fractions) across year groups *
• Developed progression charts for strands in learning
• Created a flow chart document to show possible ways forward

Where to start?
Have a look at the cards and highlight starting points for your school.
Which pathways will allow your school to prepare a scheme of work and calculation policy by September 2014?
