Primary Mathematics Curriculum Framework

Primary Mathematics Curriculum Framework

This Mathematics Curriculum Framework is based on the primary National Curriculum and the
National Numeracy Strategy, which have been implemented in England, but has been designed
specifically for teachers and students in the international context.
This detailed framework should facilitate the development of courses that are stimulating both for the
students and for the teachers. The knowledge and skills developed should help ensure a smooth
transition from primary to secondary schooling, particularly for those who will be progressing to the
Cambridge Checkpoint scheme and then on to Cambridge qualifications such as GCE O Level or
IGCSE.
