Welcome to OAT Maths

A coherently-designed, comprehensively-resourced, freely-available mathematics curriculum project for key stages 3 and 4.

A good mathematics curriculum is well sequenced, in a way that enables the curriculum itself to be a progression model; it coheres classroom-to-classroom, teacher-to-teacher and year-to-year; it enables students at all levels of attainment to practise to fluency, to reason, and to think mathematically at every possible opportunity. The OAT Maths curriculum project holds these principles at heart and aims to give you the best possible start for teaching maths across Key Stages 3 and 4.

Our project prioritises critical knowledge and gradually builds understanding over time, interleaving concepts at every opportunity. It is underpinned by the principles of mathematics education research and cognitive science and is in constant refinement in collaboration with schools in the Ormiston Academies Trust.

Always a work-in-progress - as any curriculum should be - we hope you find these resources useful.
