Gaer Primary School

Teachers consider the progressive development of pupils’ mathematical skills and concepts effectively. Most use a broad range of techniques successfully to produce depth within learning that enables most pupils to master different concepts and skills effectively. They use maths games and activities imaginatively to make learning fun and relevant. Most teachers provide beneficial opportunities for pupils to apply these skills in meaningful contexts in other areas of learning. As a result, most pupils develop strong problem-solving and reasoning skills. Most pupils make good progress across the breadth of the mathematics curriculum. By the time they reach Year 6, they are confident, competent mathematicians who use a broad range of strategies thoughtfully and have a secure understanding of key mathematics concepts.
