MPA map with nRich clarification

I have adapted the MPA map from the standards site so that the phrases used are a little more understandable and so that we can find exemplification of each one. I have done this by using the nRich process mapping spreadsheet, taking their titles from each of the MPA categories and allocating these to the phrases used on the original MPA map. So, if you look at the adapted map I have made at http://www.wiltshire-ast.co.uk/media/maths-documents/index.php you will see that each "node" refers to the phrases used on the nRich process mapping spreadsheet (http://nrich.maths.org/curriculum) and this spreadsheet has hyperlinks to activities that they say cover that skill. Hope that makes sense.

Admin Resources for New Framework

Here are some files that help with management of the new Framework.
You should find the APP booklet, (two levels to a page here http://www.scribd.com/doc/16917831/APP-Booklet,) a blank Year 7 Unit Plan (http://www.scribd.com/doc/16917830/Year-7-Unit-Plan-Pro-Forma) which you could download and edit (although the MPA map at the beginning cannot be edited without certain software, see other post called "Editing the MPA map" and a document showing all the ways in which maths can support the delivery of PLTS here (http://www.scribd.com/doc/16917832/Maths-PLTS-Contributions)

The Renewed Mathematics Framework

Here is a brief PowerPoint showing the key points of the new mathematics Framework effective September 2009. I made it in September but have only just learned how to show this on a blog.

The Renewed Frameworks for Mathematics

Year 7 Rich Task activities

In this section I am making available some teaching notes for year 7 classes. These have been written with schools I have been working with in my AST role. We tried to address the appropriate content and include rich tasks, i.e. ones which help students to understand and learn through deeper thinking and involvement.
The Overview explains the ideas and an index and is a good place to start.
Find it here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/16915954/Overview-of-Rich-Tasks-in-Units

This part of my blog is under construction so you will currently find that hyperlinks to SmartBoard notebook files do not work. However, most of these are also available from each unit plan in Word form.

Learning Objectives and Assessment Criteria.
Learning Objectives are the things that students should be learning. They form the basis of a scheme of work and are exemplified by the old framework folder or by the hyperlinks after each statement on the following link:
http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/secondary/framework/maths/fwsm/mlo and then ticking the ones that you want.
The Assessment criteria are the statements for APP which you should use to decide what level a student is at. You can find these by using the link above to select the Learning Objectives and then once these appear click on the APP link at the foot of that page to see the Assessment criteria that go with them. These are the phrases that are used in the APP booklet recently distributed at the Subject Leaders day (25th March) which shows two levels per page and is available to download from the link: http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/150769

New Framework objectives

This link takes you to the new Framework objectives - select by year and topics within each AT and you will see the explanation of the objective and a link to the supplement of examples for each objective. The APP link at the bottom of the page shows you the level of the work.
