Review of UK Mathematics Teaching in Primary Schools and Early-Years Settings
The final report for the independent Review of Mathematics Teaching in Primary Schools and Early-Years Settings has now been published.
The 2008 report provides ten clear recommendations for improving the quality of mathematics teaching in these areas.

Report Urges Changes in Teaching Math (USA) 2008
American students’ math achievement is 'at a mediocre level' compared with that of their peers worldwide, according to a new report by a federal panel, which recommended that schools focus on key skills that prepare students to learn algebra.
It offers specific goals for students in different grades. For example, it said that by the end of the third grade, students should be proficient in adding and subtracting whole numbers. Two years later, they should be proficient in multiplying and dividing them. By the end of the sixth grade, the report said, students should have mastered the multiplication and division of fractions and decimals.

National Mathematics Advisory Panel (USA) FINAL REPORT 2008
... the concerns of national policy relating to mathematics education go far beyond those in our society who will become scientists or engineers. The national workforce of future years will surely have to handle quantitative concepts more fully and more deftly than at present. So will the citizens and policy leaders who deal with the public interest in positions of civic leadership. Sound education in mathematics across the population is a national interest.

OFSTED Report : Evaluating mathematics provision for 14-19 year olds
(May 2006) Ofsted (UK) visited 26 schools, sixth form colleges and general further education colleges to determine the main factors leading to high achievement, motivation and participation in 14-19 mathematics, and the factors which act against high achievement.
The survey found that teachers sometimes talked for too long and lessons did not contain enough practical or group work to stimulate discussion. In addition, a lack of specialist teachers is affecting students on GCSE and other numeracy courses.

Mathematics - Developing Educational Standards (USA)
Good teachers have standards in mind when they set their lessons up, where the idea of a "standard" represents a specific idea of what the teacher expects a student to recall, replicate, manipulate, understand, or demonstrate at some point down the road - and of how the teacher will know how close a student has come to meeting that standard. Standards, in other words, are conceptually nothing new - though we do seem to keep reinventing them.

Numeracy self-evaluation planner
This interactive tool has been designed by the National College for School Leadership to help headteachers evaluate their school's progress in the implementation of the National Numeracy Strategy.
The tool is built around evidence taken from OFSTED's National Evaluation of the strategy, inspection reports and evidence from the National Strategy itself.
