Today's FREE resource: 'Chopping Up a Metre Stick'

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.     More


Problem Solving Through Dialogue

Challenging children to THINK about what they are learning is the key to making learning stick.      More

What the Pupils Say

'I like it because you can do things that even calculators can't do.' (Rachael - age 11)

'It's simple and easy to use. Also good as you can learn your own way at your own pace.' (Olivia - age 11)

'I like that teachers can put on quizzes relative to your stage in Maths.' (Callum - age 11)


Collaborative Thinking Teams

Pupils find it easier to express their ideas in a group than they do in whole class discussion.  They have more confidence voicing ideas and there is more opportunity for each individual to participate.     More
