London Schools Excellence Fund ‘The ability to pose and answer questions and to solve problems lies at the heart of mathematics and children often find these more creative aspects of mathematics difficult.’ Raising Standards in mathematics - Achieving children’s targets DfES 1075 - 2004 Haringey Council & University of Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences

  6. London Schools Excellence Fund ‘Most pupils showed positive attitudes to learning in mathematics. Their ability to solve problems on real life contexts and to explain their methods has improved quite markedly. However, the development of investigative approaches that characterise using and applying mathematics remains weaker than other aspects of the mathematics curriculum.’ The Annual Report of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Schools 2005/6 Haringey Council & University of Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences
