1. Open Outcry Trading Club
“The national curriculum for mathematics aims to ensure that all pupils:
Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and
frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop
conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and
accurately.
reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and
generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using
mathematical language
can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-
routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems
into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.
