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.

Written by a Primary School maths specialist of 25 years teaching experience, Maths Investigations is a steadily growing bank of resources for teachers (and parents), designed to develop children's thinking and guide them in discovering Maths for themselves.

The resources have been developed over many years working with children both in private tuition and in the primary school classroom and are based on the principle that talking and thinking with children about Maths, playing with ideas, and exploring Maths topics together through problem solving and investigation, leads to the deepest understanding of how Maths works. 

Both online and printable materials are available and, with the resources growing steadily month by month, you will be coming back here regularly for more.
