This essay will evaluate how current initiatives can support the development of numeracy across the curriculum. (Welsh government 2012) states Numeracy framework is first and foremost a curriculum leading device that ropes all educators to insert numeracy in their teaching of the curriculum. The aim is to support all educators to see themselves as consuming a significant part in emerging the numeracy skills of their pupils. All schools now have curriculum planning preparations and these will need to be modified to support cross-curriculum preparation using the numeracy framework. Skills progress for younger pupils, in particular, might be more unpredictable, effective cross-curriculum planning for skills and a framework for sustained development is significant for all pupils. According to Welsh Government,(2012) the most important purpose of numeracy framework remains to support educators to recognise and deliver opportunities for pupils to apply numeracy across the curriculum, then broken down by year group. Define, with precision, the yearly national prospects for numeracy for pupils aged five to fourteen, and progression pointers for pupils with additional learning needs. Help control pupil development in numeracy and deliver yearly reports to parents/guardians based on educator’s assessment therefore educators, pupils and parents/guardians are all clear in what way pupils are progressing and what the following steps remain. The main features of numeracy framework comprise numeracy strands are: emerging numerical reasoning, using number skills, using measuring skills and using data skills. Providing year-on-year expectations deliver clarity to sustenance development. This delivers educators with a strong understanding of what pupils are expected to attain and what they will go on to study in upcoming years. Nevertheless, for a variety of motives not all pupils will progress the same way not all schools face the same challenges. As set out in ‘supporting movement for all pupils’ we perceive that not all youngsters advance similarly and this is especially valid for children’s improvement in the early years which can take after various directions. The year-by-year nature of numeracy framework enables educators to guarantee that they are consolidating the suitable abilities into their conveyance of the educational modules and its substance. For three to five-year olds, the examples of learning can change much more and the numeracy framework, accordingly, covers five-fourteen. Nonetheless, amid the counsel practice there were proposals that there would be an incentive in the broadening the numeracy framework into foundation phase for three to five-year olds and this will be considered. A strong platform for teaching mathematics has been given by shortening the construction of the objects. The seven strands of learning give a comprehensive impression of mathematics curriculum in the primary phase.   Substances are aligned to the seven strands to prove progression in each strand. The seven strands are not similarly weighted in developing the strand, learning of number actualities has been isolated from calculation, methods of calculation have been combined, measures have been held apart from shape and space, and problem solving has been entrenched into the wider element of using and applying mathematics. The seven strands relate promptly to the 1999 framework and the projects of concentrate in the National Curriculum orders for mathematics. Covering the targets in the seven elements will support pupils in their development towards the Early Learning Goals and the suitable National Curriculum levels at key stages one and two. These are the seven strands, using and applying mathematics, handling data, measuring, counting and understanding numbers, calculating and knowing and using number facts. The development of framework around the seven strands rearranges the general structure, as well as presents a more helpful vehicle for featuring and correcting some of the aspects of mathematics that pupils find tough to learn. Decent mathematics teaching is engaging and includes a deliberately arranged mix of approaches that immediate pupils learning. Pupils are challenged to think. The teacher or practitioner gives pupils great help but requires independence as and when suitable. The pitch and pace of work is delicate to the rate at which pupils learn while guaranteeing that expectations are kept high and advance is made by all pupils. In good mathematics teaching the expertise and understanding that pupils are required to learn are obviously defined and the teacher has planned out how to lead the pupils to the mathematics. Pupils know that they can deliberate, look for help and use assets as and when they have to. They like to be given challenge and like the opportunities to practice and apply their learning. After sometime pupils recognise their achievement and know the progress they have made. They help each other in group sessions and are willing to share their thoughts and to clarify their thinking and strategies. Pupils who require more help than others are identified rapidly and get early intercession to enable them to keep up their progress. The teacher identifies that mathematics is a mixture of ideas, facts, processes, patterns, rules and properties. Leading children’s knowledge must take account of this and needs a comprehensive range of teaching and structural methods. There are lessons where the emphasis is on technique and the teaching is fairly directive and there are lessons where the guiding is less obvious and through prudently chosen action and well-absorbed questioning the pupils are steered to learn the rules, properties or patterns of shapes or numbers. Good mathematics teaching needs a good information of the topic, an understanding of the development in the curriculum being trained and a gratitude that some teaching methods are better suited to indorse specific learning and outcomes.   
According to Athey (2007) it is very significant that pre-school practice has an emphasis on schematic learning that will deliver a natural connexion into chances for numeracy to be industrialised and challenged. Plans are experiential when a pupil contributes in physical and creative doings. The language used will frequently indicate the kind of schema that the pupil is exploring. The young brain makes thousands of links between cells every hour. The sturdiest links are those where the pupil is given a chance to recurrence an activity over and over to establish a level of understanding. These open doors are accommodated through constant delivery. Pupils can come back to a similar movement and recurrence their activities again and again until the brain establishes a neural trail that ropes a level of understanding. Athey (2007) also states that the key in early years in developing numeracy is to be able to classify the kind of play that is taking place so that suitable questions are asked. Without understanding the setting of learning in the youngster’s mind, the wrong type of questions is asked and then the level of understanding when the child do not reply as we think he or she should. For instance, a child that is creating route plan (demonstrates enthusiasm for straight lines, here and there, crosswise over and angled) will frequently fix up all that they play with. Their sketch and painting may likewise comprise of heaps of lines, they may take after a similar course every time they go on a tricycle, they manufacture long trucks and streets. They could be playing with farm animals then line them up by mixing all the animals without understanding that the focus is to make a line (early measurement), the professional might be tempted to interfere and propose gathering the farm animals or even count them. This keeps the movement of discourse and the child can introduce themselves as not understanding what the grown-up has requested or suggested. When children are engaged in schematic play they will regularly show large amounts of focus and engagement in the movement. Quite often the schematic play that experts use to help develop numeracy is conveying (upkeep of amount and number, capacity spatial awareness, direction, friction, forces). connecting (measuring, length, quantity, fitting together, securing, properties of materials. Containing (size, volume and capacity.
In 1999-2001 the ‘Early Numeracy Research Project’ carried out in Victoria, Australia aimed to gain insights into effective numeracy practice in the first three years of schooling- ages five to eight. 
The case studies revealed that effective teachers of numeracy in the early year should concentrate on vital mathematical thoughts and influence this focus to the pupils, give open-ended tasks which empower the use if various strategies and consider distinctive results, make connections to previous learning and experience, avoid ‘telling’ children, always listen mindfully to individual pupils, and believe that numeracy can and ought to be enjoyable. 
Numeracy is not the same as mathematics. Numeracy is a skill with number that is learnt through being taught mathematics well. Though children usually learn their numeracy skills throughout mathematics lessons, to be completely numerate they must be able to apply these skills in additional topic areas and real-life settings. Numerate individuals are able to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute efficiently to society. Learning.gov.wales states children should be given the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding through tasks and challenges that encourage problem solving and discussion, this means that pupils require considering and playing with the issue time. They have to try out thoughts, to make estimations, to go up ‘dead ends’ and modify their reasoning in the light of what they gain from this, talk about ideas with others and be willing to come out of their comfort zone. Activities that allow them to use their senses, be creative and imaginative. Through taking part in imaginative play, children are offered chances to perform roles and experiences that are significant to them. Children become engaged and motivated when captivating a role, for example, turning into an individual from a family, someone from the group or even a dream character. Active learning opportunities that build on prior experiences and support them to become independent thinkers and learners is another opportunity to develop their skill. Active learning is based on a theory called constructivism. Constructivism underlines the way that children develop or build their own understanding. Children build up their current learning and understanding in order to attain further levels of understanding. This implies children are ready to break down, evaluate and combine thoughts. Different resources, including ICT, children present their work in a range of ways using words, symbols, objects, pictures, diagrams and ICT. Mathematical data development collects, represent and interpret data using ICT at times, this involves gathering information using real items, images or diagrams, rolling to a diversity of charts, graphs, diagrams, tables or databases. Conscious and enhanced provision and focused activities in the indoor and outdoor learning environments encourages children to be creative. Welsh government states that children will be given opportunities to discover the world around them and comprehend how things work by taking part in practical events relevant to their developing stage. They will be tested through practical exercises and develop their open-finished queries. Children will be urged to explore ideas and offer thoughts solving problems. The foundation phase has seven regions of learning which are conveyed through practical activities and active encounters both inside and outside. These areas are creative development, personal and social development, well-being and cultural, physical development, mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world.  Different types of play and a range of planned activities, including those that are child-initiated play is vital for children’s development, this builds a child’s confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and to tell others. Every area of learning and improvement must be implemented through planned, intentional play and through a mix of grown-up and child-initiated activity. Pedagogy refers to the connection amongst learning and teaching. It grasps the idea of the expert as a facilitator of learning, reacting to the needs of the individuals, eager to learn alongside the children, using suitable strategies to achieve the process of learning and repeatedly reflecting on and refining practice.  
Gov.Wales (2017) states the foundation phase profile (FPP) helps collective valuations at statutory ideas and delivers a nationally reliable technique for scoring the foundation phase outcomes and progress information. This will be used to help the statutory gauge assessment throughout reception year 2015. This will assess pupil’s aptitudes and development in four parts of learning physical development, personal and social development, well-being and culture diversity, mathematical development (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National and Numeracy framework (LNF) and language, literacy and communication skills (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National Literacy and Numeracy framework [LNF]). The Welsh government is putting over £3.2 million in the system this assembly expression which will play an important part in the Education secretary Kirsty Williams ‘national mission to bring values up in the Welsh schools. This includes schools, colleges, universities, and the four local education consortia using team work to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and Numeracy in Wales, supporting new curriculum developments. Its part ill include additional help to create leadership in maths and support schools to cooperate of higher standards, supporting educators, teaching assistants, further teaching lectures and others to develop better classroom practice, schools and colleges will get direction, access to conferences and events on effective teaching practice, alongside a new devoted online maths zone on the Hwb learning site and new credited indication based expert development programs for teaching staff to enhance their mathematics information, and teaching and learning of mathematics.
The school policy states mathematics is a tool for everyday life. It is a system of ideas and connections which deliver a method for viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to break down and connect data and thoughts and to challenge a range of practical tasks and genuine issues. The school aims are to create pupils who are content and secure during mathematic lessons and achieve their maximum potential, having a positive attitude towards mathematics and consider it to be a subject to attain and be successful, confident to use mathematics and as a type of correspondence and clarify their work using the right vocabulary, work co-operatively, have a consciousness of interest of mathematics and create persistence, interest, adaptability and creativity. Comprehend relations and patterns inside various parts of mathematics, are capable and positive in mathematic knowledge, ideas, skills and processes and apply them across the curriculum and in real life, have a variety of plans for working out an answer mentally, using practical assets or with a pencil and paper. Judge weather answers are sensible and have strategies for checking them when essential, being certain when using a variety of mathematic tools, have a sense of the size of a number and where it fits in the number framework, have a rapid memory of basic number facts, can recommend appropriate units for making capacities and give sensible evaluations, are able to translate information on a chart, graph, diagram or table. In order to attain the goals, the school needs to take into account and deliver opportunities for the pupils to do and be included, to convey and settle on choices about the work they are engaged with.  Teachers have to specifically teach skills and help pupils strategies for working with number and furthermore give them chance to use and apply these skills. Emerging communication skills are a significant part of the mathematic curriculum: children will be trained the language, which is specific to mathematics and given chances to use this properly. Pupils will be encouraged to deliberate their work and clarify their thinking, they will be trained to connect their understanding in oral, pictorial and written form. The school take a comprehensive view of mathematics.  Numeracy is more than knowing numbers and emerging computational skills.  It is viewed as a collection of skills that can be used over the educational curriculum. it incorporates a capacity and inclination to solve problems, including those involving money, shape, space, measure and information handling.  The school aim for all pupils to attain their maximum potential in mathematics this reflects the view of a numerate pupil. It is essential to build up a cross curricular approach to mathematic. For example, plan for regular opportunities to quantify in science and design and Technology, use properties of shape and design in art, gather and present information in History, Geography and ICT. Every classroom has a variety of mathematical resource’s, well organised and reachable to pupils. Pupils need these accessible to them in order to make decisions about what to use. A dominant of store resources will be kept on the lower corridor of the junior end. They will include a choice of useful assets and furthermore helpful books and suitable records of information. These must be taken care of and replaced when not being used. An up to date list of assets will signed out. Extra assets may also be found in the library. It is significant that all classrooms have mathematics on show in their class so pupils can refer to in order to support their learning.
According to Donaldson’s (2015) all curriculum should be designed to teach children skills to develop in work and be able to create and think on their feet. Making sure the Welsh language and Welsh history is integrated into it so its relevant to where they live and where they will potentially be creating jobs. Donaldson’s wants children to be able to contribute to the future in creative ways and become successful rather than just working. Building on child’s confidence to try new things and use prior knowledge to experiment new things. Focusing on numeracy, literacy and digital competence because the way the world is going they will be the three most important. Literacy for communication, numeracy for life skills and digital competence for computers and technology. Over the past twenty-five years the school curriculum in Wales has changed and responded to short and long-term pressures. Donaldson’s decision to make successful futures are because current practices have altered and adapted over the years.

Decent mathematics teaching is engaging and includes a deliberately arranged mix of approaches that immediate pupils learning. Pupils are challenged to think. The teacher or practitioner gives pupils great help but requires independence as and when suitable. The pitch and pace of work is delicate to the rate at which pupils learn while guaranteeing that expectations are kept high and advance is made by all pupils. In good mathematics teaching the expertise and understanding that pupils are required to learn are obviously defined and the teacher has planned out how to lead the pupils to the mathematics. Pupils know that they can deliberate, look for help and use assets as and when they have to. They like to be given challenge and like the opportunities to practice and apply their learning. After sometime pupils recognise their achievement and know the progress they have made. They help each other in group sessions and are willing to share their thoughts and to clarify their thinking and strategies. Pupils who require more help than others are identified rapidly and get early intercession to enable them to keep up their progress. The teacher identifies that mathematics is a mixture of ideas, facts, processes, patterns, rules and properties. Leading children’s knowledge must take account of this and needs a comprehensive range of teaching and structural methods. There are lessons where the emphasis is on technique and the teaching is fairly directive and there are lessons where the guiding is less obvious and through prudently chosen action and well-absorbed questioning the pupils are steered to learn the rules, properties or patterns of shapes or numbers. Good mathematics teaching needs a good information of the topic, an understanding of the development in the curriculum being trained and a gratitude that some teaching methods are better suited to indorse specific learning and outcomes.   
According to Athey (2007) it is very significant that pre-school practice has an emphasis on schematic learning that will deliver a natural connexion into chances for numeracy to be industrialised and challenged. Plans are experiential when a pupil contributes in physical and creative doings. The language used will frequently indicate the kind of schema that the pupil is exploring. The young brain makes thousands of links between cells every hour. The sturdiest links are those where the pupil is given a chance to recurrence an activity over and over to establish a level of understanding. These open doors are accommodated through constant delivery. Pupils can come back to a similar movement and recurrence their activities again and again until the brain establishes a neural trail that ropes a level of understanding. Athey (2007) also states that the key in early years in developing numeracy is to be able to classify the kind of play that is taking place so that suitable questions are asked. Without understanding the setting of learning in the youngster’s mind, the wrong type of questions is asked and then the level of understanding when the child do not reply as we think he or she should. For instance, a child that is creating route plan (demonstrates enthusiasm for straight lines, here and there, crosswise over and angled) will frequently fix up all that they play with. Their sketch and painting may likewise comprise of heaps of lines, they may take after a similar course every time they go on a tricycle, they manufacture long trucks and streets. They could be playing with farm animals then line them up by mixing all the animals without understanding that the focus is to make a line (early measurement), the professional might be tempted to interfere and propose gathering the farm animals or even count them. This keeps the movement of discourse and the child can introduce themselves as not understanding what the grown-up has requested or suggested. When children are engaged in schematic play they will regularly show large amounts of focus and engagement in the movement. Quite often the schematic play that experts use to help develop numeracy is conveying (upkeep of amount and number, capacity spatial awareness, direction, friction, forces). connecting (measuring, length, quantity, fitting together, securing, properties of materials. Containing (size, volume and capacity.
In 1999-2001 the ‘Early Numeracy Research Project’ carried out in Victoria, Australia aimed to gain insights into effective numeracy practice in the first three years of schooling- ages five to eight. 
The case studies revealed that effective teachers of numeracy in the early year should concentrate on vital mathematical thoughts and influence this focus to the pupils, give open-ended tasks which empower the use if various strategies and consider distinctive results, make connections to previous learning and experience, avoid ‘telling’ children, always listen mindfully to individual pupils, and believe that numeracy can and ought to be enjoyable. 
Numeracy is not the same as mathematics. Numeracy is a skill with number that is learnt through being taught mathematics well. Though children usually learn their numeracy skills throughout mathematics lessons, to be completely numerate they must be able to apply these skills in additional topic areas and real-life settings. Numerate individuals are able to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute efficiently to society. Learning.gov.wales states children should be given the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding through tasks and challenges that encourage problem solving and discussion, this means that pupils require considering and playing with the issue time. They have to try out thoughts, to make estimations, to go up ‘dead ends’ and modify their reasoning in the light of what they gain from this, talk about ideas with others and be willing to come out of their comfort zone. Activities that allow them to use their senses, be creative and imaginative. Through taking part in imaginative play, children are offered chances to perform roles and experiences that are significant to them. Children become engaged and motivated when captivating a role, for example, turning into an individual from a family, someone from the group or even a dream character. Active learning opportunities that build on prior experiences and support them to become independent thinkers and learners is another opportunity to develop their skill. Active learning is based on a theory called constructivism. Constructivism underlines the way that children develop or build their own understanding. Children build up their current learning and understanding in order to attain further levels of understanding. This implies children are ready to break down, evaluate and combine thoughts. Different resources, including ICT, children present their work in a range of ways using words, symbols, objects, pictures, diagrams and ICT. Mathematical data development collects, represent and interpret data using ICT at times, this involves gathering information using real items, images or diagrams, rolling to a diversity of charts, graphs, diagrams, tables or databases. Conscious and enhanced provision and focused activities in the indoor and outdoor learning environments encourages children to be creative. Welsh government states that children will be given opportunities to discover the world around them and comprehend how things work by taking part in practical events relevant to their developing stage. They will be tested through practical exercises and develop their open-finished queries. Children will be urged to explore ideas and offer thoughts solving problems. The foundation phase has seven regions of learning which are conveyed through practical activities and active encounters both inside and outside. These areas are creative development, personal and social development, well-being and cultural, physical development, mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world.  Different types of play and a range of planned activities, including those that are child-initiated play is vital for children’s development, this builds a child’s confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and to tell others. Every area of learning and improvement must be implemented through planned, intentional play and through a mix of grown-up and child-initiated activity. Pedagogy refers to the connection amongst learning and teaching. It grasps the idea of the expert as a facilitator of learning, reacting to the needs of the individuals, eager to learn alongside the children, using suitable strategies to achieve the process of learning and repeatedly reflecting on and refining practice.  
Gov.Wales (2017) states the foundation phase profile (FPP) helps collective valuations at statutory ideas and delivers a nationally reliable technique for scoring the foundation phase outcomes and progress information. This will be used to help the statutory gauge assessment throughout reception year 2015. This will assess pupil’s aptitudes and development in four parts of learning physical development, personal and social development, well-being and culture diversity, mathematical development (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National and Numeracy framework (LNF) and language, literacy and communication skills (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National Literacy and Numeracy framework [LNF]). The Welsh government is putting over £3.2 million in the system this assembly expression which will play an important part in the Education secretary Kirsty Williams ‘national mission to bring values up in the Welsh schools. This includes schools, colleges, universities, and the four local education consortia using team work to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and Numeracy in Wales, supporting new curriculum developments. Its part ill include additional help to create leadership in maths and support schools to cooperate of higher standards, supporting educators, teaching assistants, further teaching lectures and others to develop better classroom practice, schools and colleges will get direction, access to conferences and events on effective teaching practice, alongside a new devoted online maths zone on the Hwb learning site and new credited indication based expert development programs for teaching staff to enhance their mathematics information, and teaching and learning of mathematics.
The school policy states mathematics is a tool for everyday life. It is a system of ideas and connections which deliver a method for viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to break down and connect data and thoughts and to challenge a range of practical tasks and genuine issues. The school aims are to create pupils who are content and secure during mathematic lessons and achieve their maximum potential, having a positive attitude towards mathematics and consider it to be a subject to attain and be successful, confident to use mathematics and as a type of correspondence and clarify their work using the right vocabulary, work co-operatively, have a consciousness of interest of mathematics and create persistence, interest, adaptability and creativity. Comprehend relations and patterns inside various parts of mathematics, are capable and positive in mathematic knowledge, ideas, skills and processes and apply them across the curriculum and in real life, have a variety of plans for working out an answer mentally, using practical assets or with a pencil and paper. Judge weather answers are sensible and have strategies for checking them when essential, being certain when using a variety of mathematic tools, have a sense of the size of a number and where it fits in the number framework, have a rapid memory of basic number facts, can recommend appropriate units for making capacities and give sensible evaluations, are able to translate information on a chart, graph, diagram or table. In order to attain the goals, the school needs to take into account and deliver opportunities for the pupils to do and be included, to convey and settle on choices about the work they are engaged with.  Teachers have to specifically teach skills and help pupils strategies for working with number and furthermore give them chance to use and apply these skills. Emerging communication skills are a significant part of the mathematic curriculum: children will be trained the language, which is specific to mathematics and given chances to use this properly. Pupils will be encouraged to deliberate their work and clarify their thinking, they will be trained to connect their understanding in oral, pictorial and written form. The school take a comprehensive view of mathematics.  Numeracy is more than knowing numbers and emerging computational skills.  It is viewed as a collection of skills that can be used over the educational curriculum. it incorporates a capacity and inclination to solve problems, including those involving money, shape, space, measure and information handling.  The school aim for all pupils to attain their maximum potential in mathematics this reflects the view of a numerate pupil. It is essential to build up a cross curricular approach to mathematic. For example, plan for regular opportunities to quantify in science and design and Technology, use properties of shape and design in art, gather and present information in History, Geography and ICT. Every classroom has a variety of mathematical resource’s, well organised and reachable to pupils. Pupils need these accessible to them in order to make decisions about what to use. A dominant of store resources will be kept on the lower corridor of the junior end. They will include a choice of useful assets and furthermore helpful books and suitable records of information. These must be taken care of and replaced when not being used. An up to date list of assets will signed out. Extra assets may also be found in the library. It is significant that all classrooms have mathematics on show in their class so pupils can refer to in order to support their learning.
According to Donaldson’s (2015) all curriculum should be designed to teach children skills to develop in work and be able to create and think on their feet. Making sure the Welsh language and Welsh history is integrated into it so its relevant to where they live and where they will potentially be creating jobs. Donaldson’s wants children to be able to contribute to the future in creative ways and become successful rather than just working. Building on child’s confidence to try new things and use prior knowledge to experiment new things. Focusing on numeracy, literacy and digital competence because the way the world is going they will be the three most important. Literacy for communication, numeracy for life skills and digital competence for computers and technology. Over the past twenty-five years the school curriculum in Wales has changed and responded to short and long-term pressures. Donaldson’s decision to make successful futures are because current practices have altered and adapted over the years.

This essay will evaluate how current initiatives can support the development of numeracy across the curriculum. (Welsh government 2012) states Numeracy framework is first and foremost a curriculum leading device that ropes all educators to insert numeracy in their teaching of the curriculum. The aim is to support all educators to see themselves as consuming a significant part in emerging the numeracy skills of their pupils. All schools now have curriculum planning preparations and these will need to be modified to support cross-curriculum preparation using the numeracy framework. Skills progress for younger pupils, in particular, might be more unpredictable, effective cross-curriculum planning for skills and a framework for sustained development is significant for all pupils. According to Welsh Government,(2012) the most important purpose of numeracy framework remains to support educators to recognise and deliver opportunities for pupils to apply numeracy across the curriculum, then broken down by year group. Define, with precision, the yearly national prospects for numeracy for pupils aged five to fourteen, and progression pointers for pupils with additional learning needs. Help control pupil development in numeracy and deliver yearly reports to parents/guardians based on educator’s assessment therefore educators, pupils and parents/guardians are all clear in what way pupils are progressing and what the following steps remain. The main features of numeracy framework comprise numeracy strands are: emerging numerical reasoning, using number skills, using measuring skills and using data skills. Providing year-on-year expectations deliver clarity to sustenance development. This delivers educators with a strong understanding of what pupils are expected to attain and what they will go on to study in upcoming years. Nevertheless, for a variety of motives not all pupils will progress the same way not all schools face the same challenges. As set out in ‘supporting movement for all pupils’ we perceive that not all youngsters advance similarly and this is especially valid for children’s improvement in the early years which can take after various directions. The year-by-year nature of numeracy framework enables educators to guarantee that they are consolidating the suitable abilities into their conveyance of the educational modules and its substance. For three to five-year olds, the examples of learning can change much more and the numeracy framework, accordingly, covers five-fourteen. Nonetheless, amid the counsel practice there were proposals that there would be an incentive in the broadening the numeracy framework into foundation phase for three to five-year olds and this will be considered. A strong platform for teaching mathematics has been given by shortening the construction of the objects. The seven strands of learning give a comprehensive impression of mathematics curriculum in the primary phase.   Substances are aligned to the seven strands to prove progression in each strand. The seven strands are not similarly weighted in developing the strand, learning of number actualities has been isolated from calculation, methods of calculation have been combined, measures have been held apart from shape and space, and problem solving has been entrenched into the wider element of using and applying mathematics. The seven strands relate promptly to the 1999 framework and the projects of concentrate in the National Curriculum orders for mathematics. Covering the targets in the seven elements will support pupils in their development towards the Early Learning Goals and the suitable National Curriculum levels at key stages one and two. These are the seven strands, using and applying mathematics, handling data, measuring, counting and understanding numbers, calculating and knowing and using number facts.

They could be playing with farm animals then line them up by mixing all the animals without understanding that the focus is to make a line (early measurement), the professional might be tempted to interfere and propose gathering the farm animals or even count them. This keeps the movement of discourse and the child can introduce themselves as not understanding what the grown-up has requested or suggested. When children are engaged in schematic play they will regularly show large amounts of focus and engagement in the movement. Quite often the schematic play that experts use to help develop numeracy is conveying (upkeep of amount and number, capacity spatial awareness, direction, friction, forces). connecting (measuring, length, quantity, fitting together, securing, properties of materials. Containing (size, volume and capacity.
In 1999-2001 the ‘Early Numeracy Research Project’ carried out in Victoria, Australia aimed to gain insights into effective numeracy practice in the first three years of schooling- ages five to eight. 
The case studies revealed that effective teachers of numeracy in the early year should concentrate on vital mathematical thoughts and influence this focus to the pupils, give open-ended tasks which empower the use if various strategies and consider distinctive results, make connections to previous learning and experience, avoid ‘telling’ children, always listen mindfully to individual pupils, and believe that numeracy can and ought to be enjoyable. 
Numeracy is not the same as mathematics. Numeracy is a skill with number that is learnt through being taught mathematics well. Though children usually learn their numeracy skills throughout mathematics lessons, to be completely numerate they must be able to apply these skills in additional topic areas and real-life settings. Numerate individuals are able to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute efficiently to society. Learning.gov.wales states children should be given the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding through tasks and challenges that encourage problem solving and discussion, this means that pupils require considering and playing with the issue time. They have to try out thoughts, to make estimations, to go up ‘dead ends’ and modify their reasoning in the light of what they gain from this, talk about ideas with others and be willing to come out of their comfort zone. Activities that allow them to use their senses, be creative and imaginative. Through taking part in imaginative play, children are offered chances to perform roles and experiences that are significant to them. Children become engaged and motivated when captivating a role, for example, turning into an individual from a family, someone from the group or even a dream character. Active learning opportunities that build on prior experiences and support them to become independent thinkers and learners is another opportunity to develop their skill. Active learning is based on a theory called constructivism. Constructivism underlines the way that children develop or build their own understanding. Children build up their current learning and understanding in order to attain further levels of understanding. This implies children are ready to break down, evaluate and combine thoughts. Different resources, including ICT, children present their work in a range of ways using words, symbols, objects, pictures, diagrams and ICT. Mathematical data development collects, represent and interpret data using ICT at times, this involves gathering information using real items, images or diagrams, rolling to a diversity of charts, graphs, diagrams, tables or databases. Conscious and enhanced provision and focused activities in the indoor and outdoor learning environments encourages children to be creative. Welsh government states that children will be given opportunities to discover the world around them and comprehend how things work by taking part in practical events relevant to their developing stage. They will be tested through practical exercises and develop their open-finished queries. Children will be urged to explore ideas and offer thoughts solving problems. The foundation phase has seven regions of learning which are conveyed through practical activities and active encounters both inside and outside. These areas are creative development, personal and social development, well-being and cultural, physical development, mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world.  Different types of play and a range of planned activities, including those that are child-initiated play is vital for children’s development, this builds a child’s confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and to tell others. Every area of learning and improvement must be implemented through planned, intentional play and through a mix of grown-up and child-initiated activity. Pedagogy refers to the connection amongst learning and teaching. It grasps the idea of the expert as a facilitator of learning, reacting to the needs of the individuals, eager to learn alongside the children, using suitable strategies to achieve the process of learning and repeatedly reflecting on and refining practice.  
Gov.Wales (2017) states the foundation phase profile (FPP) helps collective valuations at statutory ideas and delivers a nationally reliable technique for scoring the foundation phase outcomes and progress information. This will be used to help the statutory gauge assessment throughout reception year 2015. This will assess pupil’s aptitudes and development in four parts of learning physical development, personal and social development, well-being and culture diversity, mathematical development (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National and Numeracy framework (LNF) and language, literacy and communication skills (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National Literacy and Numeracy framework [LNF]). The Welsh government is putting over £3.2 million in the system this assembly expression which will play an important part in the Education secretary Kirsty Williams ‘national mission to bring values up in the Welsh schools. This includes schools, colleges, universities, and the four local education consortia using team work to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and Numeracy in Wales, supporting new curriculum developments. Its part ill include additional help to create leadership in maths and support schools to cooperate of higher standards, supporting educators, teaching assistants, further teaching lectures and others to develop better classroom practice, schools and colleges will get direction, access to conferences and events on effective teaching practice, alongside a new devoted online maths zone on the Hwb learning site and new credited indication based expert development programs for teaching staff to enhance their mathematics information, and teaching and learning of mathematics.
The school policy states mathematics is a tool for everyday life. It is a system of ideas and connections which deliver a method for viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to break down and connect data and thoughts and to challenge a range of practical tasks and genuine issues. The school aims are to create pupils who are content and secure during mathematic lessons and achieve their maximum potential, having a positive attitude towards mathematics and consider it to be a subject to attain and be successful, confident to use mathematics and as a type of correspondence and clarify their work using the right vocabulary, work co-operatively, have a consciousness of interest of mathematics and create persistence, interest, adaptability and creativity. Comprehend relations and patterns inside various parts of mathematics, are capable and positive in mathematic knowledge, ideas, skills and processes and apply them across the curriculum and in real life, have a variety of plans for working out an answer mentally, using practical assets or with a pencil and paper. Judge weather answers are sensible and have strategies for checking them when essential, being certain when using a variety of mathematic tools, have a sense of the size of a number and where it fits in the number framework, have a rapid memory of basic number facts, can recommend appropriate units for making capacities and give sensible evaluations, are able to translate information on a chart, graph, diagram or table. In order to attain the goals, the school needs to take into account and deliver opportunities for the pupils to do and be included, to convey and settle on choices about the work they are engaged with.  Teachers have to specifically teach skills and help pupils strategies for working with number and furthermore give them chance to use and apply these skills. Emerging communication skills are a significant part of the mathematic curriculum: children will be trained the language, which is specific to mathematics and given chances to use this properly. Pupils will be encouraged to deliberate their work and clarify their thinking, they will be trained to connect their understanding in oral, pictorial and written form. The school take a comprehensive view of mathematics.  Numeracy is more than knowing numbers and emerging computational skills.  It is viewed as a collection of skills that can be used over the educational curriculum. it incorporates a capacity and inclination to solve problems, including those involving money, shape, space, measure and information handling.  The school aim for all pupils to attain their maximum potential in mathematics this reflects the view of a numerate pupil. It is essential to build up a cross curricular approach to mathematic. For example, plan for regular opportunities to quantify in science and design and Technology, use properties of shape and design in art, gather and present information in History, Geography and ICT. Every classroom has a variety of mathematical resource’s, well organised and reachable to pupils. Pupils need these accessible to them in order to make decisions about what to use. A dominant of store resources will be kept on the lower corridor of the junior end. They will include a choice of useful assets and furthermore helpful books and suitable records of information. These must be taken care of and replaced when not being used. An up to date list of assets will signed out. Extra assets may also be found in the library. It is significant that all classrooms have mathematics on show in their class so pupils can refer to in order to support their learning.
According to Donaldson’s (2015) all curriculum should be designed to teach children skills to develop in work and be able to create and think on their feet. Making sure the Welsh language and Welsh history is integrated into it so its relevant to where they live and where they will potentially be creating jobs. Donaldson’s wants children to be able to contribute to the future in creative ways and become successful rather than just working. Building on child’s confidence to try new things and use prior knowledge to experiment new things. Focusing on numeracy, literacy and digital competence because the way the world is going they will be the three most important. Literacy for communication, numeracy for life skills and digital competence for computers and technology. Over the past twenty-five years the school curriculum in Wales has changed and responded to short and long-term pressures. Donaldson’s decision to make successful futures are because current practices have altered and adapted over the years.

This essay will evaluate how current initiatives can support the development of numeracy across the curriculum. (Welsh government 2012) states Numeracy framework is first and foremost a curriculum leading device that ropes all educators to insert numeracy in their teaching of the curriculum. The aim is to support all educators to see themselves as consuming a significant part in emerging the numeracy skills of their pupils. All schools now have curriculum planning preparations and these will need to be modified to support cross-curriculum preparation using the numeracy framework. Skills progress for younger pupils, in particular, might be more unpredictable, effective cross-curriculum planning for skills and a framework for sustained development is significant for all pupils. According to Welsh Government,(2012) the most important purpose of numeracy framework remains to support educators to recognise and deliver opportunities for pupils to apply numeracy across the curriculum, then broken down by year group. Define, with precision, the yearly national prospects for numeracy for pupils aged five to fourteen, and progression pointers for pupils with additional learning needs. Help control pupil development in numeracy and deliver yearly reports to parents/guardians based on educator’s assessment therefore educators, pupils and parents/guardians are all clear in what way pupils are progressing and what the following steps remain. The main features of numeracy framework comprise numeracy strands are: emerging numerical reasoning, using number skills, using measuring skills and using data skills. Providing year-on-year expectations deliver clarity to sustenance development. This delivers educators with a strong understanding of what pupils are expected to attain and what they will go on to study in upcoming years. Nevertheless, for a variety of motives not all pupils will progress the same way not all schools face the same challenges. As set out in ‘supporting movement for all pupils’ we perceive that not all youngsters advance similarly and this is especially valid for children’s improvement in the early years which can take after various directions. The year-by-year nature of numeracy framework enables educators to guarantee that they are consolidating the suitable abilities into their conveyance of the educational modules and its substance. For three to five-year olds, the examples of learning can change much more and the numeracy framework, accordingly, covers five-fourteen. Nonetheless, amid the counsel practice there were proposals that there would be an incentive in the broadening the numeracy framework into foundation phase for three to five-year olds and this will be considered. A strong platform for teaching mathematics has been given by shortening the construction of the objects. The seven strands of learning give a comprehensive impression of mathematics curriculum in the primary phase.   Substances are aligned to the seven strands to prove progression in each strand. The seven strands are not similarly weighted in developing the strand, learning of number actualities has been isolated from calculation, methods of calculation have been combined, measures have been held apart from shape and space, and problem solving has been entrenched into the wider element of using and applying mathematics. The seven strands relate promptly to the 1999 framework and the projects of concentrate in the National Curriculum orders for mathematics. Covering the targets in the seven elements will support pupils in their development towards the Early Learning Goals and the suitable National Curriculum levels at key stages one and two. These are the seven strands, using and applying mathematics, handling data, measuring, counting and understanding numbers, calculating and knowing and using number facts. The development of framework around the seven strands rearranges the general structure, as well as presents a more helpful vehicle for featuring and correcting some of the aspects of mathematics that pupils find tough to learn. Decent mathematics teaching is engaging and includes a deliberately arranged mix of approaches that immediate pupils learning. Pupils are challenged to think. The teacher or practitioner gives pupils great help but requires independence as and when suitable. The pitch and pace of work is delicate to the rate at which pupils learn while guaranteeing that expectations are kept high and advance is made by all pupils. In good mathematics teaching the expertise and understanding that pupils are required to learn are obviously defined and the teacher has planned out how to lead the pupils to the mathematics. Pupils know that they can deliberate, look for help and use assets as and when they have to. They like to be given challenge and like the opportunities to practice and apply their learning. After sometime pupils recognise their achievement and know the progress they have made. They help each other in group sessions and are willing to share their thoughts and to clarify their thinking and strategies. Pupils who require more help than others are identified rapidly and get early intercession to enable them to keep up their progress. The teacher identifies that mathematics is a mixture of ideas, facts, processes, patterns, rules and properties. Leading children’s knowledge must take account of this and needs a comprehensive range of teaching and structural methods. There are lessons where the emphasis is on technique and the teaching is fairly directive and there are lessons where the guiding is less obvious and through prudently chosen action and well-absorbed questioning the pupils are steered to learn the rules, properties or patterns of shapes or numbers. Good mathematics teaching needs a good information of the topic, an understanding of the development in the curriculum being trained and a gratitude that some teaching methods are better suited to indorse specific learning and outcomes.   
According to Athey (2007) it is very significant that pre-school practice has an emphasis on schematic learning that will deliver a natural connexion into chances for numeracy to be industrialised and challenged. Plans are experiential when a pupil contributes in physical and creative doings. The language used will frequently indicate the kind of schema that the pupil is exploring. The young brain makes thousands of links between cells every hour. The sturdiest links are those where the pupil is given a chance to recurrence an activity over and over to establish a level of understanding. These open doors are accommodated through constant delivery. Pupils can come back to a similar movement and recurrence their activities again and again until the brain establishes a neural trail that ropes a level of understanding. Athey (2007) also states that the key in early years in developing numeracy is to be able to classify the kind of play that is taking place so that suitable questions are asked. Without understanding the setting of learning in the youngster’s mind, the wrong type of questions is asked and then the level of understanding when the child do not reply as we think he or she should. For instance, a child that is creating route plan (demonstrates enthusiasm for straight lines, here and there, crosswise over and angled) will frequently fix up all that they play with. Their sketch and painting may likewise comprise of heaps of lines, they may take after a similar course every time they go on a tricycle, they manufacture long trucks and streets.

Mathematical data development collects, represent and interpret data using ICT at times, this involves gathering information using real items, images or diagrams, rolling to a diversity of charts, graphs, diagrams, tables or databases. Conscious and enhanced provision and focused activities in the indoor and outdoor learning environments encourages children to be creative. Welsh government states that children will be given opportunities to discover the world around them and comprehend how things work by taking part in practical events relevant to their developing stage. They will be tested through practical exercises and develop their open-finished queries. Children will be urged to explore ideas and offer thoughts solving problems. The foundation phase has seven regions of learning which are conveyed through practical activities and active encounters both inside and outside. These areas are creative development, personal and social development, well-being and cultural, physical development, mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world.  Different types of play and a range of planned activities, including those that are child-initiated play is vital for children’s development, this builds a child’s confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and to tell others. Every area of learning and improvement must be implemented through planned, intentional play and through a mix of grown-up and child-initiated activity. Pedagogy refers to the connection amongst learning and teaching. It grasps the idea of the expert as a facilitator of learning, reacting to the needs of the individuals, eager to learn alongside the children, using suitable strategies to achieve the process of learning and repeatedly reflecting on and refining practice.  
Gov.Wales (2017) states the foundation phase profile (FPP) helps collective valuations at statutory ideas and delivers a nationally reliable technique for scoring the foundation phase outcomes and progress information. This will be used to help the statutory gauge assessment throughout reception year 2015. This will assess pupil’s aptitudes and development in four parts of learning physical development, personal and social development, well-being and culture diversity, mathematical development (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National and Numeracy framework (LNF) and language, literacy and communication skills (to be revised in September 2015 to incorporate the literacy component of the National Literacy and Numeracy framework [LNF]). The Welsh government is putting over £3.2 million in the system this assembly expression which will play an important part in the Education secretary Kirsty Williams ‘national mission to bring values up in the Welsh schools. This includes schools, colleges, universities, and the four local education consortia using team work to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and Numeracy in Wales, supporting new curriculum developments. Its part ill include additional help to create leadership in maths and support schools to cooperate of higher standards, supporting educators, teaching assistants, further teaching lectures and others to develop better classroom practice, schools and colleges will get direction, access to conferences and events on effective teaching practice, alongside a new devoted online maths zone on the Hwb learning site and new credited indication based expert development programs for teaching staff to enhance their mathematics information, and teaching and learning of mathematics.
The school policy states mathematics is a tool for everyday life. It is a system of ideas and connections which deliver a method for viewing and making sense of the world. It is used to break down and connect data and thoughts and to challenge a range of practical tasks and genuine issues. The school aims are to create pupils who are content and secure during mathematic lessons and achieve their maximum potential, having a positive attitude towards mathematics and consider it to be a subject to attain and be successful, confident to use mathematics and as a type of correspondence and clarify their work using the right vocabulary, work co-operatively, have a consciousness of interest of mathematics and create persistence, interest, adaptability and creativity. Comprehend relations and patterns inside various parts of mathematics, are capable and positive in mathematic knowledge, ideas, skills and processes and apply them across the curriculum and in real life, have a variety of plans for working out an answer mentally, using practical assets or with a pencil and paper. Judge weather answers are sensible and have strategies for checking them when essential, being certain when using a variety of mathematic tools, have a sense of the size of a number and where it fits in the number framework, have a rapid memory of basic number facts, can recommend appropriate units for making capacities and give sensible evaluations, are able to translate information on a chart, graph, diagram or table. In order to attain the goals, the school needs to take into account and deliver opportunities for the pupils to do and be included, to convey and settle on choices about the work they are engaged with.  Teachers have to specifically teach skills and help pupils strategies for working with number and furthermore give them chance to use and apply these skills. Emerging communication skills are a significant part of the mathematic curriculum: children will be trained the language, which is specific to mathematics and given chances to use this properly. Pupils will be encouraged to deliberate their work and clarify their thinking, they will be trained to connect their understanding in oral, pictorial and written form. The school take a comprehensive view of mathematics.  Numeracy is more than knowing numbers and emerging computational skills.  It is viewed as a collection of skills that can be used over the educational curriculum. it incorporates a capacity and inclination to solve problems, including those involving money, shape, space, measure and information handling.  The school aim for all pupils to attain their maximum potential in mathematics this reflects the view of a numerate pupil. It is essential to build up a cross curricular approach to mathematic. For example, plan for regular opportunities to quantify in science and design and Technology, use properties of shape and design in art, gather and present information in History, Geography and ICT. Every classroom has a variety of mathematical resource’s, well organised and reachable to pupils. Pupils need these accessible to them in order to make decisions about what to use. A dominant of store resources will be kept on the lower corridor of the junior end. They will include a choice of useful assets and furthermore helpful books and suitable records of information. These must be taken care of and replaced when not being used. An up to date list of assets will signed out. Extra assets may also be found in the library. It is significant that all classrooms have mathematics on show in their class so pupils can refer to in order to support their learning.
According to Donaldson’s (2015) all curriculum should be designed to teach children skills to develop in work and be able to create and think on their feet. Making sure the Welsh language and Welsh history is integrated into it so its relevant to where they live and where they will potentially be creating jobs. Donaldson’s wants children to be able to contribute to the future in creative ways and become successful rather than just working. Building on child’s confidence to try new things and use prior knowledge to experiment new things. Focusing on numeracy, literacy and digital competence because the way the world is going they will be the three most important. Literacy for communication, numeracy for life skills and digital competence for computers and technology. Over the past twenty-five years the school curriculum in Wales has changed and responded to short and long-term pressures. Donaldson’s decision to make successful futures are because current practices have altered and adapted over the years.
