Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
My name is Detective Kitty Kat Meow McFluffy and I run The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International.
I help children to explore and develop confidence in fundamental math skills and inspire a love of numbers through play.
In this interactive and fun class students will attend The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International Training Academy and solve puzzles learn the skills they need to graduate and help me solve mysteries.
Trainee Kittens will choose their own detective name, and learn how to use The Kitty Kat Code Breaker.
Just before the class, I received a phone call with a mystery from The Natural History Museum and the Kitten Detectives will need to help me find the clues to work out what has happened then help me to solve The Natural History Museum's very BIG problem. 
I recommend this class as a fantastic introduction to The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International but if you have already joined the agency done some of my other adventure classes this class is another exciting adventure for you too. 

Trainees will have to solve puzzles presented on slides and use basic maths skills to solve the mystery. There will be individual and group tasks set and students will share their answers with the group.

This is an inclusive class and can be adapted to suit all levels. I welcome math beginners alongside students who are confident in addition, subtraction, basic multiplication and division.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their confidence in math skills including addition and subtraction with 3 digit numbers and skip counting in 3s, dividing by 2, and can be extended to include multiplication and division facts.

This class can be adapted to support learners who need confidence in early maths skills including counting to 100, numberbonds to 10, addition and subtraction with objects to 20.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Master's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from The University of Brighton
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Dartington College of Arts
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 15 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.
