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.
