29) I find that paragraph quite soothing in its summary ambitions for the Key Stage 3 pupil. I would like to finish with a challenge. What would your National Curriculum model look like? A 3-D pop-up model of a plate of spaghetti? A maze with many routes to the centre? What would it contain? Whatever you picture, it is important not to perceive the National Curriculum as a straitjacket. It is meant to guide, not to restrict, and should not limit your imagination and creativity when planning for the learning of your pupils.
In this way Ma1 can begin to permeate the other aspects of the mathematics curriculum described in Ma2–4. September 2001 also saw the advent of the National Strategy (NS) for KS3 (DfEE, 2001). The National Curriculum offers a syllabus and level descriptions; the GCSE boards offer syllabuses and examination papers. The NS is no different and offers a syllabus (‘pupils should be taught to …’) and exemplar questions (‘as outcomes pupils should …’). It is intended to be a working document for teachers, providing yearly teaching programmes to help secondary schools set appropriate expectations for their pupils.

Fortunately, working in a secondary school there will be many teachers in this predicament. Find out how your department deals with these issues.
