The National Numeracy Strategy was designed to facilitate a sound grounding in maths for all primary school pupils. It arose out of the National Numeracy Project in 1996, led by a Numeracy Task Force in England, and was launched in 1998 and implemented in schools in 1999. [1] The strategy included an outline of expected teaching in mathematics for all pupils from Reception to Year 6.[2]
In 2003, the strategy, including the framework for teaching, was absorbed into the broader Primary National Strategy. The framework for teaching was then updated in 2006, but ceased to operate in 2011.[2]
