60 Pages
Put mathematical thinking to the test with Maths Detective Mystery Files, a 60-page KS2 resource designed for pupils in Years 3–6.

Pupils become maths detectives as they investigate mysterious cases, examine evidence, interpret numerical clues and solve mathematical challenges.

The activities combine core maths skills with logical thinking and evidence-based reasoning. Pupils practise calculations, measurement, money, coordinates, data interpretation and problem solving while deciding which conclusions are supported by the available information.

Rather than simply finding numerical answers, learners are encouraged to explain their thinking, evaluate clues and distinguish between supported and unsupported conclusions.

What’s Included:

60 pages of detective-themed maths activities

Mathematical mysteries and evidence challenges

Number operations and word problems

Measurement and money calculations

Coordinates and data interpretation

Logical reasoning activities

Answer key for teacher support

Ideal for independent learning, classroom challenges, revision, enrichment, homework and early finishers.

This resource offers an engaging way to develop mathematical fluency, critical thinking and reasoning through investigative learning.
