The world’s favourite maths puzzles brought to life in a way you’ve never seen them before!

If you’re looking for something to add a bit of extra sparkle and life to your maths class in these demanding times of online and remote learning, then why not try Maths Puzzle Crew?

Maths Puzzle Crew is a series of videos that brings to life some of the greatest and best loved maths and logic puzzles of all time.

By combining storytelling and high quality video production with maths history, puzzles, maths magic and more we have created a unique resource that can help you to:

  • Boost student engagement in maths

  • Enhance maths reasoning skills

  • Improve problem solving skills

  • Increase maths fluency

  • Encourage critical thinking and logic

  • And above all have fun!

Our aim with Maths Puzzle Crew is not to teach maths directly but to engage, inspire and entertain students in maths.

The videos come with answers and explanations (except of course when we are sworn to secrecy) as well as suggestions for follow on work and activities so you can build out the work across the content strands of the Australian Curriculum including Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, Statistics and Probability.

The range of videos are suitable for middle and upper primary students (Years 3 – 6)  and junior secondary students (Years 7-8).

Maths Puzzle Crew is currently in production, and scheduled for release in late April / early May.

Sample videos will be available shortly and the full series will be available on a subscription basis.

We hope you will join us in adding some extra fun and life to maths classes in these difficult times of COVID 19.

Something that will not only engage students with maths, but leave them astounded by the hidden power and wonder of numbers…

Something that will have students (and teachers) roaring with laughter, wondering ‘wow’ how did that happen, then trying to solve amazing mathematical puzzles…

Then why not try The Maths Show?

The Maths Show is a live stage performance like no other.

The Maths Show is full of mathematical magic, mystery and mayhem – designed to entertain and engage students while substantially increasing their interest in mathematics.

During the show, students will be astounded at the amazing power of numbers to control the mind, predict the future, reveal secrets and much, much more.

As part of the performance, students will meet famous and (not so famous) mathematicians from ancient Babylon and Greece, Pioneers of Algebra, Famous Women of Maths, Champions of Chance and Data, as well as Experts in Shape and Space.

The Maths Show is highly interactive, with substantial audience involvement, and will leave students wanting to know more about the mathematical principles that underly the onstage antics.

We are proud to partner with the Mathematical Association of Victoria, the show’s principal sponsor, and with the Mathematical Association of New South Wales to provide teachers with a resource kit and lesson notes for optional follow on activities that can be built into a unit of work.

The Maths Show is brought to you by the same team that created the long-running stage shows, The History of Maths, and Famous Female Mathematicians, seen in hundreds of schools throughout Australia, and who produced the Maths and Cricket and Maths and Soccer DVDs that have been seen by students throughout Australia, America, Europe and Asia.

Two versions of the show are available, one designed for Junior Secondary students, and one designed for Upper Primary Students.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to bring maths alive for your students.
