Primary national strategy: mathematical activities for year 6
This resource were developed by the National Numeracy Strategy which itself arose out of the National Numeracy Project in 1996. This project was led by a Numeracy Task Force including the director, Anita Straker. The strategy included an outline of expected teaching in mathematics for all students from Reception to Year Six, this became known as the Framework for Teaching Mathematics.
In 2003, the National Numeracy Strategy, including the Framework for Teaching, was absorbed into the broader Primary National Strategy. In October 2006, the frameworks for teaching literacy and mathematics were 'renewed' and issued in electronic form as the Primary Framework for Literacy and Mathematics. The strategies ceased to operate in 2011.
The materials were designed to help teachers and schools focus on the core activities of improving teaching and learning. They were intended to offer support to both new and experienced teachers, as well as subject leaders and senior leaders.
