Abstract

In this article we focus on ways that the documented curriculum can inform the construction and implementation of planned sequences of experiences to support mathematics learning. We report on the early stages of a research project which is examining ways that thoughtfully created, cumulative, challenging and connected experiences can both initiate and consolidate mathematics learning. It is intended that through an iterative cycle of design-test-redesign-retest we will ultimately transform the documented curriculum into a set of refined and empirically developed sequences of learning experiences that are accessible by a diverse range of students.
