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 to integrate maths into problem solving and give pupils a clear purpose for learning. The Assessment CD supports formative and summative assessment using QCA-style questions and a flexible record-keeping and tracking system. It offers ready-made tests that can be printed or attempted on screen, or teachers can create their own customised tests selecting questions by NNS objective or NC level to personalise assessment. Also includes aural questions to prepare pupils for QCA mental maths tests.
