My name is Detective Kitty Kat Meow McFluffy and I run The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International. In this 4 week, interactive, fun class students (Kittens) will join The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International Training Academy and learn the math(s) skills they need to be a Kitty Kat Detective and help me solve mysteries inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The classes will start with a warm-up to make sure our Kitty Kat senses are sharp and ready to solve the day's mystery. I will then introduce the maths theme for the lesson. Week 1 Kittens will dive down the rabbit hole and use their maths skills to help me escape from the Great Hall. Week 2 In search of the White Rabbit we meet the caterpillar and join the maths fun and games at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Week 3 Solve maths problems as you meet the Red Queen and play croquet. Make sure you don't lose all 9 lives to keep your head. Week 4 Who stole the jam tart? Look at the evidence and work out who committed the crime. There will be individual and group tasks set and students will share their answers with the group. I welcome complete maths beginners alongside students who are confident in basic addition, subtraction, and times tables.
Learning Goals
solve problems with addition and subtraction:
using concrete objects and pictorial representations, including those involving
numbers, quantities and measures
applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods
recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use
related facts up to 100
add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and
mentally, including:
a two-digit number and ones
a two-digit number and tens
two two-digit numbers
adding three one-digit numbers
show that addition of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and
subtraction of one number from another cannot
recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use
this to check calculations and solve missing number problems.

I trained at a top drama school in London and create devised theatre and inclusive dance performances. I have been a teacher in schools and further education for the last 16 years. I specialize in teaching drama, English, maths, enterprise, and working with students with learning disabilities. In December 2020 I left my full-time job teaching maths, drama, and citizenship in a secondary school for autistic learners to work full time at The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International.
I am passionate about inclusion and mastery. I am skilled at teaching complex concepts using simple visual methods. I use my acting training to retell magical stories with fun, maths puzzles, and games woven in with top tips for individual students on how to develop their maths and communication skills.
I set up The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International as lockdown began inspired by my son's love of mysteries, maths, and cats and I love it so much I never take my whiskers off.Reviews
