    The document summarizes changes to the Cambridge Primary Mathematics (0096) Curriculum Framework. Specifically: 1. The framework is now organized into three main strands: Number, Geometry and Measure, and Statistics and Probability. 2. Geometry and Measure have been combined into one strand, and Data Handling has been renamed Statistics and Probability. 3. There are fewer learning objectives that have been merged rather than reduced, with improved progression within and between stages.

    Curriculum Framework changes to

    Cambridge Primary Mathematics (0096)

    Dear Teacher

    As you may be aware, Cambridge International has a new Curriculum Framework for Cambridge
    Primary Mathematics (0096) and our new Cambridge Primary Maths resources* have been rewritten to
    reflect the learning objectives in this Curriculum Framework. We are working with Cambridge
    International to gain endorsement for this forthcoming series.

    Please visit www.cambridgeinternational.org for information and full details of the changes.

    The Cambridge Primary Mathematics Curriculum Framework (0096) is now organised into three
    main strands:
    1. Number, 2. Geometry and Measure and 3. Statistics and probability

    Geometry and Measure have now been combined to form one strand and Data Handling has been
    renamed Statistics and Probability to better reflect the mathematics content. The Algebra strand begins
    in Lower Secondary, but learners will still work with equations at primary level in the ‘counting and
    sequences’ sub-strand of Number.

    There are now fewer learning objectives, with many of the original learning objectives merged rather
    than reduced, with improved progression both within each stage and between stages. Our new editions
    of Cambridge Primary Mathematics use a spiral curriculum model to make sure that there is both
    curriculum coverage and careful progression of concepts and skills over the stage and between years.
    Each stage is divided into three terms and each term contains six units: three number units per term
    and three non-number units.

    Thinking and working mathematically


    In the new Curriculum Framework, all the previous problem solving learning objectives have been
    removed and replaced with four pairs of thinking and working mathematically characteristics. The
    overall aim is to focus on the characteristics of thinking and working mathematically:
    Specialising and generalising
    Conjecturing and convincing
    Characterising and classifying
    Critiquing and improving
    Thinking and Working Mathematically (TWM) is an important approach to teaching and learning that
    has been incorporated throughout our new editions. We want our learners to actively engage with their
    learning of mathematics, so TWM activities are highlighted throughout the Learner’s Book, providing
    different types of problems and rich activities, so that the learners see this questioning and reasoning
    approach as an important way of working mathematically.

    Mental strategies
    Explicit mental strategies learning objectives have been removed from the Cambridge Primary and
    Lower Secondary Curriculum Frameworks. However, working mentally remains an important feature in
    the updated curriculum framework which aims to be less prescriptive about the specific strategies that
    should be learnt and practiced by learners at each stage.
