Junior Mini Mathematical Murder Mysteries

16 activities to stretch and engage ages 8-11

"Excellent, highly recommended, my class love it." Teacher, Devon

Getting - and keeping - kids curious and exploring mathematics is not easy. Doing so in an interesting way that doesn't take too much time is even harder. Yet is vital - the foundations of mathematics need to be solid at this age for future enjoyment and success.

With this key stage requiring consolidation and development of number skills, and introduction of new concepts, it's important that consolidation activities are enjoyable and not dull. So how does the book work?

• Using an easy to follow format, kids "solve" the mystery
• Correct answers reveal who/what/where/when a murder is committed.
• Eagerness find out keeps them working, reinforcing and revising as they do.
• It's self marking! All you have to do is check the correct answer has been reached.
• Contents cover key topics in Arithmetic. Number and early Algebra, Angle and Shape, Money, Coordinates and other investigative topics are also included.
