Hello All from the UK http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/secondary http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curr... The alternative is to specify the National Curriculum and then second guess the changes each time the government changes. School maths is a socially determined thing. It has little to do with mathematics in University departments or the ways in which mathematical reasoning is used in other areas of life. Definitions vary. PS the new textbooks by pearson, stanley thornes, longman &c are relatively error free.
