Mathematics

Mathematics is an important, creative discipline that helps us to understand and be a part of our world. At St. Gregory’s Catholic Primary School, we want all pupils to experience the power and enjoyment of Mathematics and develop a sense of curiosity about the subject; making links between different contexts.

At St. Gregory’s, we adopt positive ‘can do’ attitudes, believing all children can achieve in Mathematics, and teach for secure and deep understanding of mathematical concepts. We use mistakes and misconceptions as an essential part of the learning and provide challenge through rich and sophisticated problems. This ensures ‘mastery’ of a concept rather than acceleration ‘shallow learning’ of new content. We encourage our children to develop their resilience through our progressive Mathematics curriculum and celebrate their successes when they overcome difficulties.
