Can you break the cat burglar's code? Which puppy weighs the most? Who's scored the highest in the dance competition? This programme presents eight dramatised maths problems for use on the interactive whiteboard. Each problem contextualises a different primary maths topic: - Using the 24-hour clock to get ready for aunt Anna's visit - Using area and perimeter to build a new animal pen - Using problem-solving to help the cat burglar work out the alarm code - Using multiples and problem-solving to send the scouts camping - Using ratio and proportion to decorate a room - Ordering decimals to rank puppies' weights - Converting metres and centimetres to fit a new kitchen - Using percentages to decide the winner of a dance competition. Following each drama sequence, a problem screen highlights the maths involved. The most suitable year-group, in terms of difficulty, is suggested at the beginning of each problem.
