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.

New OfSted Framework summary

I attended a Wiltshire training day where the new OfSted Framework was discussed and have written up a summary of what I heard for you to peruse at your leisure. It is found at http://www.wiltshire-ast.co.uk/media/maths-documents/index.php . Main points - now even harder to get higher grades, most schools may find themselves awarded a grade lower than previously, limiting grades mean that weaknesses in key areas may mean overall grade is limited despite strengths in other areas.

Features of good maths teaching

Here is an adapted version of an extract from the "Understanding the score" booklet produced by the Govt. It lists features of good and satisfactory maths lessons (although a lot are generic teaching skills) and I have inserted an extra column in the middle. We have used this to try to identify what can happen differently in the classroom that will mean that more of the skills in the good column are addressed more commonly. It is to be found at http://www.wiltshire-ast.co.uk/media/maths-documents/index.php
