National Curriculum 2014 – Aims 4

Balance Procedural fluency 5 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 • 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 8

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 SATs In 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. https: //www. gov. uk/government/organisations/ department-for-education/series/national-curriculum 12

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 13

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? 14
