Numeracy
The way we teach maths at
Gateway is set out in the
Gateway Primary School
Maths Policy.
Mathematics is now planned and taught from the
New Primary
Framework. Within the framework there are
7
core strands of mathematical learning:
·
Using and
applying mathematics
·
Counting and
understanding number
·
Knowing and
using number facts
·
Calculating
·
Understanding
shape
·
Measuring
·
Handling data
Your
child will cover these strands within every year group and more than
once in a year. If you click on a strand you can find an
explanation and an activity for you child to complete. The
explanations begin with Foundation Stage and Key Stage One
objectives (younger children) and move onto Key Stage 2 definitions
(junior aged children).
Ask
your child what they are learning about in Maths this week then
click on the related strand and activity.
