I purchased these books for my grandson as he has dyslexia and needed a bit of extra help keeping up with his class. They have been a huge help over the years.

  • 16 detective-style maths mysteries for children in Years 3 to 6, ages 7-11
  • Covers mental arithmetic, problem solving, shapes, algebra and statistics

Your child, somewhere in Years 3 to 6, gets 16 crimes to solve, and the maths is the only way in.

Children solve negative number calculations and logic puzzles to deduce the time, place and reason of a fictional murder
Children solve negative number calculations and logic puzzles to deduce the time, place and reason of a fictional murder.

Each case in this primary maths workbook uses the number work, shapes and data handling your child meets in class. The book spans Years 3 to 6, so you start at the level your child needs now. A confident Year 2 child who wants a stretch can join in.

Children calculate six arithmetic expressions, then evaluate six suspects' statements to identify the two with errors
Children calculate six arithmetic expressions, then evaluate six suspects' statements to identify the two with errors.

There are 16 mysteries in this printed workbook, each a short case with questions to work through. In one, your child solves negative number calculations and then uses logic to pin down the time and place. In another, six suspects' statements hide two arithmetic errors.

The puzzles reward careful checking, so your child goes back over the working instead of rushing on. The topics are the ones the KS2 SATs cover, though nothing here reads like a test paper. A Year 7 child steadying the basics will enjoy the cases too.
