__Michelle Goulter__ The Age Newspaper March 4th 2010:"New Maths Curriculum a feeble tool calculated to bore" by Burkard Polster and Marty Ross. As you can tell by the title of the article that I chose, the authors were disappointed in what is to be included in the new maths national curriculum. The article goes on to mention what should be implemented and omitted in the syllabus and gives valid reasons why/why not. One of the points that the article makes is in reference to the statistics syllabus being drip fed over 11 years of schooling in which there is simply no need for data to be collected and analysed over and over again. I tend to agree with this point of view, as maths like literacy can be taught through mathematical play and taught as idea's rather that just a process to be learned and repeated.
