RESPONDING to today's Estyn report on best practice in mathematics for pupils aged 3 to 7 years old, Shadow Minister Paul Davies said: 　"I'm very concerned that this report has found some primary school pupils in Wales are not being challenged enough in their math lessons.

"It is such an important subject and it's vital that our children get a good grounding in it to take on into later life. 　

"The suggestion that some teachers are not sufficiently capable in the subject to be able to teach it proficiently is also increibly worrying. 　

"Every effort must be made to ensure that teachers are given every support to promote learning among young children. 　　

"I urge the Minister to look into the findings of this report urgently and work with schools to ensure that Estyn's recommendatins are acted upon as quickly as possible."
