The purpose of this book, from the National Numeracy Strategy,
is to identify the words and phrases that students need to
understand and use if they are to make good progress in
mathematics. It was designed to support the National Numeracy
Strategy alongside the Framework for Teaching Mathematics. There
are four pages of vocabulary checklists for each year group. The
first three pages for each year cover mathematical vocabulary
relating to the Framework for Teaching Mathematics, organised
according to its five strands: Numbers and the number system
Measures, shape and space Using and applying mathematics is
integrated throughout. The fourth page for each year group lists
