Click here to visit the Standards Site – Primary Framework for Mathematics

The renewed Primary Framework for Mathematics is different from the 1999 framework in the following ways:

An electronic version - The electronic format will allow you to link quickly to a wide range of teaching and learning resources, so that you can customise your planning, teaching and assessment more easily.

A clearer structure for mathematics - To simplify the structure of the objectives, seven strands of learning in mathematics are identified. These give a broad overview of the mathematics curriculum in the primary phase. The objectives are aligned to the seven strands to demonstrate progression in each strand.

Slimmed-down objectives - Another key difference is that objectives in the 1999 Framework for mathematics have been slimmed down to give a clearer sense of the important aspects of mathematics that need to be taught to children.
