  1. Mathematics Subject Leader Network Meeting March 2013

  2. Session 1 – News and Update Session 2 – Updates from Edexcel and AQA Programme

  3. To be updated as to developments in Mathematics at a local and national level To consider the implications for school or setting of the latest developments from the awarding bodies Objectives

  4. Starter Circular Challenge

  5. Revised handbook (January 2013) and subsidiary guidance (February 2013) www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/subsidiary-guidance-supporting-inspection-of-maintained-schools-and-academies Little change for handbook but more changes in subsidiary guidance (especially Performance Management) New subject specific guidance, published February 2013 www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/generic-grade-descriptors-and-supplementary-subject-specific-guidance-for-inspectors-making-judgemen Ofsted Documentation Update

  6. Subsidiary Guidance p28 Feb 2013

  7. ACME’s recommendations: Providing an extended interpretation of the mathematics curriculum Access to the extended mathematics curriculum Assessment of the curriculum Initial Teacher Education and CPD should support implementation Develop support materials Develop appropriate accountability measures Beyond the classroom Cross-party support Raising the bar: developing ableyoung mathematicians http://www.acme-uk.org/media/10498/20121212_acme_raising_the_bar.pdf.pdf

  8. Timetable: National Curriculum reform Timetable: National Curriculum reform Early 2013 – Full public consultation on all draft Programmes of Study Spring-Summer 2013 – Work on producing final versions of Programmes of Study September 2013 – Final versions of Programmes of Study in schools September 2014 – First teaching of new Programmes of Study ‘Hardip Begol, Director of Assessment, Curriculum and Qualifications Policy, DfE The House Magazine, Westminster Briefing

  9. A high level of challenge Prescriptive content and a yearly teaching programme Removal of levels Pedagogy suggested within the content Emphasis on practice rather than building concepts Links between topics not emphasised Draft National Curriculum KS1 & 2 http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/nationalcurriculum2014 Closing date: Tuesday 16 April 2013

  10. Draft National Curriculum KS1 & 2 Closing date: Tuesday 16 April 2013

  11. Payments were made to local authorities on 31 January 2013 and to academies and Free Schools on 1 February 2013. Expectation that the funding will be directed to additional literacy and numeracy catch-up support during Year 7 The funding is not ring-fenced Schools should make decisions about how it is best used in the context of their existing strategies to help underperforming students catch up. Funding will be available until at least 2015 http://education.gov.uk/schools/pupilsupport/year7catchup/a00220571/y7-catch-up Catch Up Funding

  12. Para 106 Inspectors must also evaluate and report on the progress being made by pupils targeted for the Year 7 catch-up programme, including through analysis of summary data kept by the school. From Ofsted Subsidiary Guidance February 2013 Catch Up Funding

  13. Through the mathematics content, pupils should be taught to: Develop fluency Reason mathematically Solve problems Number calculation and accuracy Number theory Algebra: expressing relations using equations and functions Ratio, proportion and rate of change Geometry and measures Probability Statistics Draft National Curriculum KS3 & 4 Closing date: Tuesday 16 April 2013

  14. Plans to have a single exam board will not proceed – instead existing GCSEs will be reformed   Qualifications should be linear, with all assessments normally taken at the end of the course.   Examinations will have fewer bite-sized and overly structured questions, and in mathematics there should be a greater  emphasis on quantitative problem-solving.   GCSEs will not force students to choose between higher and foundation tiers, for example, extension papers offering access to higher grades alongside a common core.   Ofqual have been asked to produce new GCSEs for mathematics ready for first teaching in 2015. GCSE Reform http://www.education.gov.uk/inthenews/inthenews/a00221416/curriculum,-exam-and-accountability-reform

  15. New accountability measures: the percentage of pupils in each school reaching an attainment threshold in the vital core subjects of English and mathematics; an average point score showing how much progress every student makes between KS2 and KS4 Requirements for subject content in the reformed GCSE mathematics will be published for consultation, by May 2013 GCSE Reform Respond by 1 May 2013 http://www.education.gov.uk/inthenews/inthenews/a00221416/curriculum,-exam-and-accountability-reform

  16. Sort the statements into the following categories: Y5 Y6 KS3 KS4

  17. Mathematics CPD offer for 2013-2014
