Great piece in TES by @peterfoulds77.bsky.socialwww.tes.com/magazine/tea... I love the concept and explanation of maths for pleasure, particularly how this is linked to the need for fluency.

How to fix the primary maths curriculum

‘Phonics’ for maths and more pleasure in the subject should be the aim of the primary maths curriculum, and this is how we achieve it, argue Peter Foulds and David Thomas

As a secondary teacher I agree that the primary curriculum could be trimmed without affecting content later on (or depriving high attainers of opportunities for challenge)
