This evaluation pack investigates the efficacy of the STEPS mathematics scheme in aligning primary classroom instruction with the specific Attainment Targets and Statements of Attainment mandated by the National Curriculum. The authors, Anne Woodman, Eric A. Albany, and Richard Riding, developed this framework through extensive consultation with primary educators to address the need for a structured, flexible approach to numeracy. By integrating assessment tools with activity-led learning, the text provides a comprehensive methodology for teachers to manage student progression across Key Stages 1 and 2.

The material presents a highly structured, administrative approach to primary mathematics that prioritizes compliance with national standards and teacher-led flexibility. Its focus on systematic assessment and planning suggests a resource intended for educators seeking a standardized, comprehensive framework for classroom management.
