Maths

The importance of Mathematics is widely recognised across the Gateway Federation by both staff and children alike. Our approach to Math teaching is driven by the 2014 National Curriculum alongside our school’s curriculum drivers: Independence, Resilience, Curiosity and Aspiration. We aim to ensure fluency in fundamentals through varied and frequent practice, develop conceptual understanding and encourage children to apply their knowledge to reasoning and problem solving tasks across the curriculum. Most importantly, we want children to have fun with Math and ensure they feel positively about the subject, their abilities and the challenges they face.
