Author Description

Maths Investigator is a secret spy agency whose mission is to make maths fun and exciting. The series has been extensively trialled and developed to offer schools a fresh and exciting way to combine the content and structure of the 2006 Mathematics Framework with the principles of the Primary Strategy 'Excellence and Enjoyment' guidance - to raise standards whilst making learning fun. The Maths Investigator approach focuses on developing the key skills of problem solving, speaking and listening, and using and applying maths. It uses the engaging spy context and fully integrated software components to embed maths into problem solving and give pupils a clear purpose for learning. For flexibility, Teacher's Guide units are packaged in topic packs. Each pack contains three two-week units of work, including access to the associated Interactive CD unit. The Ringbinder can be used to store all the Teacher's Guide unit booklets, together with the Getting Started Guide and Photocopy Masters.
