Progression in Maths Skills

The progression maps are structured using the topic headings as they appear in the National Curriculum and have been divided into sub categories to illustrate progression in key areas.

All programmes of study statements are included and some appear twice. This is indicated in the text. This occurs where

• The statement has central relevance to more than one sub category within a topic;
• The statement has central relevance to more than one mathematics topic. This is done to reflect the aims of the curriculum that pupils should make rich connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems (Mathematics programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2 page 3).
