‘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:

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.

• increased expectation
• more demands have been put on pupils of all ages and many objectives have been brought forward in the curriculum
• 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

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’

Adapted from original by Michael Tidd
What is there more of?
• More challenging objectives, especially in number
• Formal written methods are introduced earlier
