ABSTRACT
The main Framework for Teaching Mathematics consists of yearly teaching programmes, or programmes of study summarising objectives for each year from Reception to Year 6 (see page 38 of the NNF). Each year contains certain Key objectives to which priority should be given within planning. The NNF offers guidance in respect of planning by offering planning grids for each yearly programme. These grids indicate the topics that should be taught and the recommended number of lessons for each topic (see Section 3 NNF). Mixed age classes are catered for within the planning as the grids for Y1 and Y2 and for Y3 and Y4 and for Y5 and Y6 correspond very closely.
