The maths curriculum
This Maths Snapshot relates to the principle
set out in the
ACME blueprint that all young people are mathematically fluent
and can reason and solve problems within the mathematics classroom,
but also in other contexts and in their daily lives.
ACME sets out:
- some background to the mathematics curriculum
- the challenges presented in delivering a new curriculum
including the relationship with assessment
- the need to develop an understanding amongst teachers, senior
leaders and governors of the core aims of the curriculum and
developing high-quality national resources for supporting the
curriculum such as text-books and professional development
materials
- the necessity of a long-term model for curriculum development
in which the curriculum is reviewed regularly and reforms are
undertaken by a transparent body of experts.
-
a new model for long-term curriculum development is
put in place
-
national tests and high-stakes assessments are
improved
-
high-quality curriculum resources and professional
development are invested in.
