Framework

The Framework will:

• be a map of the full domain of mathematical knowledge from pre-school to the end of the upper secondary phase of education and training arrangements
• be loosely age-related and based on progressions in organising concepts and principles
• be the basis for different curriculum pathways which will flesh out a more detailed hierarchy
• be a basis for deriving standards
• be illustrated by indicative content and exemplar performances
• be evidenced both from the study of a range of mathematics curricula and mathematics assessments, and from a theoretical perspective of conceptual progression
• allow for the description of skills and dispositions necessary for effective use of mathematics.
