The Assessment of Achievement Programme has been monitoring mathematics, English language and science since 1981. The most recent report is based on the 6th Survey of Mathematics and was carried out during the year 2000. Some of the issues arising out of the findings are listed below together with a link to the full report.
These files may be useful as a focus for debate and discussion as schools consider the further development of their mathematics programmes.
