{"Image DocumentName": "The new maths curriculum changes \u2013 more detail", "Image ImageDescription": "There are earlier and more challenging requirements for multiplication tables, which have been increased to 12x12. The curriculum has clear expectations around written methods in addition to mental methods. There is an earlier and more challenging requirement for fractions and decimals. There is an increased requirement for pupils to use formulae for volume and to calculate the area of shapes other than squares and rectangles. Probability has been removed from the primary curriculum. There is an increased requirement for understanding of proportional reasoning \u2013 for example through volume and calculations with fractions. Financial education has been reinforced, with a renewed emphasis on essential numeracy skills, using money and working with percentages. The curriculum has a strong steer that the use of calculators should be restricted until the later years of primary. There is a greater emphasis on the use of large numbers, algebra, ratio and proportion at an earlier age than in the current documentation. Expectations for learning ratio and proportion have been accelerated since the initial draft. Roman numerals have been introduced in the Year 3 curriculum. There is a focus on counting beyond whole numbers, eg, decimals, fractions. Abstract symbols have been introduced in Year 1. Data handling has decreased, but the curriculum makes more reference to interpretation of data. To understand expectations in Years 5 and 6, equivalent objectives in the primary framework would need to be drawn from Years 7, 8.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
