Maths
Investigations is for teachers (and
parents) who want their children to learn to THINK
about maths and have fun investigating
and discovering maths for
themselves.
Here
you will find a steadily growing number of ideas and resources for a variety of maths investigations, skill checks and games, which teachers, mums and dads can use with their children from Primary through to early Secondary age to help them consolidate key skills, develop their investigative thinking and explore together how Maths works.
Some of the materials are printable and designed for using away from the computer. Others are online, designed so that they can be used equally effectively on an interactive whiteboard, a laptop or desktop computer, or a touch-screen mobile device.
Field trialling of some of the materials is now underway in schools (if you are interested in participating, please see above) and full membership options for individuals and schools will be available shortly. Meanwhile you can sign up as a friend if you would like to preview some of the materials. If you have any further questions you would like
to ask, feel free to email.

What does Maths
Investigations offer?
Children
are naturally inquisitive and love exploring and discovering
things. Many
children have difficulty with maths because they have failed
at some point in their learning journey to understand WHY
maths works and instead see maths as a mysterious set of
rules which have to be learned.
