WHY THE BIG CURRICULUM CHANGE?

• is more challenging• content is actually slimmer than the

old curriculum• focus on essential core subject

knowledge and skills

‘We make no apologies for having high expectations for our children,’

DfE spokesperson.

‘We believe they can achieve more, and we will not stand by and allow pupils to lose

ground with their peers in countries across the world.’

The goal posts have changed but the DFE has this to say:

Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 5

For most children, the changes began last September, but children in Years 2

and 6 will follow the existing programmes of study until September 2015 in English, Maths and Science.

• emphasis on breadth rather than rushing on to the next stage.

MATHS

Adapted from original by Michael Tidd 18

Aims to ensure all children:

•Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics

•Be able to reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry

•Solve problems by applying their mathematics

•Mastering year group objectives before moving on

Maths Programme of Study

Year by year programme of studyMain areas:

Number Measurement Geometry (shape and position) Statistics Ratio and proportion Algebra

19

Adapted from original by Michael Tidd

Number: Addition and Subtraction

Number: Multiplication and Division

Fractions (including

decimals and percentages)

Ratio and Proportion

         

Algebra

Measurement

Geometry: Properties of

Shape

Geometry: Position and

Direction  

Statistics  

Adapted from original by Michael Tidd

What’s Out?

- There is no longer a separate strand for using and applying mathematics- it’s across all areas

- Calculators (greater importance placed on mental fluency and efficient written methods)

- Informal written methods of calculation- more traditional methods for written ‘sums’

21

Adapted from original by Michael Tidd

What is there more of?

• More challenging objectives, especially in number

• Formal written methods are introduced earlier

• More work on fractions in Key Stage 2.
