Interactive problem solving for up to 180 pupils (with follow-up workshops for up to four classes, depending on the structure of your school day)

Big Maths day from As Creatives

It's exactly 100 years to the day since the grisly demise of Puffing Billy – and this unique workshop allows up to 180 pupils from Years 1 to 6 / P2-P7 / KS3 attempt to crack the case at the same time. After everyone’s been introduced to the crime scene, the victim and the suspects (and been armed with Evidence Booklets), children will take part in a series of age-differentiated challenges - revolving around such clues as omnibus tickets, diaries and timepieces. As pupils practise their maths skills, the suspects will be whittled down one by one – until only the criminal remains.

But there’s still more to do – because there's yet another Maths Mystery to be unravelled. A job that will be undertaken in up to three follow-up workshops, each for up to 30 pupils.

We also have versions of Murderous Maths for two and three-form entry schools - just ask for details!

Exploring (according to age): positional language, properties of 2D and 3D shapes, additive and multiplicative reasoning, fractions, number patterns, time, multi-stage problem solving, money, data collection.
