Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting
June 2012
Programme
Session 1
Update on recent developments in mathematics including
Mathematics: Made to Measure, draft KS1 and 2
programmes of study
Session 2
Learning outside the classroom
Objectives
• To have a clear understanding of the latest national
and regional developments.
• To consider the recommendations outlined in the
recent Ofsted report ‘Mathematics: Made to Measure’
• To consider learning outside the classroom as a means
to develop teaching and learning that will stimulate and
engage pupils.

Mathematics: made to measure
Recommendations: Ofsted will:
• produce support materials to help schools
identify and remedy weaknesses in
mathematics.
• raise ambition for the mathematics education of
all pupils by placing greater emphasis in school
inspection on:
• how effectively schools tackle
inconsistency in the quality of
mathematics teaching
• how well teaching fosters understanding
• pupils’ skills in solving problems
• challenging extensive use of early and
repeated entry to GCSE examinations.
Mathematics: made to measure
Recommendations
The DfE should:
• ensure end-of-key-stage assessments, and
GCSE and AS/A-level examinations require
pupils to solve familiar and unfamiliar problems
and demonstrate fluency and accuracy in
recalling and using essential knowledge and
mathematical methods
• raise ambition for more-able pupils, in particular
expecting those pupils who attained Level 5 at
Key Stage 2 to gain A* or A grades at GCSE
• research the uptake, retention and success
rates in AS and A-level mathematics and further
mathematics by pupils attending schools with
and without sixth-form provision.
Mathematics: made to measure
Recommendations
Schools should:
• tackle in-school inconsistency of teaching, making more good or outstanding, so that
every pupil receives a good mathematics education
• increase the emphasis on problem solving across the mathematics curriculum
• develop the expertise of staff:
– in choosing teaching approaches and activities that foster pupils’ deeper
understanding, including through the use of practical resources, visual images
and information and communication technology
– in checking and probing pupils’ understanding during the lesson, and adapting
teaching accordingly
–
in understanding the progression in strands of mathematics over time, so that
they know the key knowledge and skills that underpin each stage of learning
– ensuring policies and guidance are backed up by professional development for
staff to aid consistency and effective implementation
• sharpen the mathematical focus of monitoring and data analysis by senior and
subject leaders and use the information gathered to improve teaching and the
curriculum.
Mathematics: made to measure
Recommendations
In addition, secondary schools should:
• ensure examination and curricular policies
meet all pupils’ best interests, stopping
reliance on the use of resit examinations,
and securing good depth and breadth of
study at the higher tier GCSE.
Draft Primary National
Curriculum
•
•
•
•
Published in draft June 2012
Consultation through NCETM and ACME portals
PoS is split into KS1, Lower/Upper KS2
Yearly programme with no levels mentioned
Draft Primary National
Curriculum
Headlines:
• Add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions (consistent with
expectations in the high-performing education jurisdictions of
Singapore and Hong Kong)
• By age nine, pupils should know their times tables up to 12x12. ( in
line with expectations in the high-performing jurisdiction of
Massachusetts).
• By age seven, pupils should know “number bonds” up to 20. These
are simple addition and subtraction facts that pupils should be able
to recognise and use instantly (eg 9+9=18 or 16-7=9).
Other notable changes
• Roman numerals (Y5)
• Binary (Y6)
• More formalised algebra in Y6 (e.g. using algebra to
solve perimeter/angle problems)
• Slimming down of Data Handling
A Level Consultation
Ofqual would like views on the full range of proposed changes
to the qualification, (the structure and assessment
arrangements) including:
• Ensuring involvement of higher education in the design and
sign-off of A levels
• Abolition of January exams and limiting resits
• Whether or not AS levels should continue, with a range of
options put forward.
To take part, visit http://comment.ofqual.gov.uk/a-level-reform.
The consultation is open until 11 September.
Good Education for All
Key Changes
• require ‘outstanding’ schools to have ‘outstanding’ teaching
• define an acceptable standard of education as being ‘good’
• replace the current ‘satisfactory’ judgement with ‘requires improvement’ where
schools are not inadequate but are not yet providing a good standard of
education
• replace the ‘notice to improve’ category with ‘serious weaknesses’
• introduce earlier full re-inspection of schools judged as ‘requires improvement’
• usually limit the number of times schools can be deemed to ‘require
improvement’ to two consecutive inspections before they are judged
‘inadequate’ and deemed to require ‘special measures’
• shorten the notice we give of an inspection
• request that schools provide anonymised information of the outcomes of the
most recent performance management of all teachers

How might today have impact in
our settings?
• Improved liaison with feeder primary schools, with a
particular focus on Level 6 pupils
• Issues and recommendations from ‘Mathematics: made to
measure’ addressed and actions implemented for further
development
• New Teacher Standards implemented from September
2012
