Maths - Key Stage 2
Scheme of Work


Please note that due to HMSO copyright restrictions we are unable to detail the following Programmes of Study. However, please refer to the 1994 National Curriculum document for the relevant passages.
Each Programme of Study (POS) is visited every year but at a different level. The half-term study units cover both number and a topic based mathematical study.
Each half-term has been divided into 14 study units - 7 study units of number and 7 study units of 'topic' maths either side of half-term.
