Statements and proposals from the draft National Mathematics Curriculum. We have compiled this collection in collaboration with our friend and colleague, David Treeby. For many readers, the shortcomings of some of these statements may not be self-evident (though the meaning of the statements may not be self-evident either, which is part of the problem). In our opinion, all of these statements are confused or problematic, and more than a few are plain silly. As indicated by the introduction of the compilation, and our opinion piece below, these statements are by no means the only issues we have with the draft Curriculum.
New maths curriculum a feeble tool calculated to bore. Our opinion piece on the draft Australian mathematics curriculum, The Age, 4.3.2010 (our backup)
Summing up a failure, The Age, 23.2.2009 (our backup). Our opinion piece from a year ago, expressing skepticism of the National Curriculum. In the spirit of Michael Williamson, "We tipped this".
