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. The Photocopy Masters provide supporting resources needed for pupil activities contained in the Teacher's Guide units and Differentiation Guide. All the Photocopy Masters are also available on the Interactive CD as MicrosoftRG Word files which can be edited and printed, but these looseleaf sheets can be stored with the Teacher's Guide units in the Ringbinder for convenience, providing easy access when making multiple copies.
