Crack the Clues with Sherlock Bones

Join dog detective Sherlock Bones for number-filled adventures in this 2 book maths activity collection by John Bigwood. Combining colourful illustrations, detective stories and mathematical challenges, these books give children an engaging reason to practise their number skills.

More Than Everyday Maths Practice

The illustrated activity pages bring variety to learning, with number problems, quickfire quizzes and visual challenges woven into the adventures. Children can tackle a few activities at a time, making the books easy to work into short learning sessions.

As they search for solutions, children are encouraged to read carefully, consider the clues and choose how to approach each problem. The detective theme gives their calculations a purpose beyond simply completing a page of sums.

Who Is It For?
