Why book 'Pirate Maths - The Pirate's Challenge!'

As Creatives’ Whole School Maths days are the perfect way to raise the profile of Maths in your school - and can comfortably accommodate up to a whole two-form entry school in a single day!

When Captain Richard Morgan arrives at school, they’ll be more than a little confused. Because just a few hours beforehand they’ll have been on tehir pirate vessel, The Good Ship Mathematics, in the middle of the Caribbean! Swept to your school by a Time Tornado, they’ll need the pupils’ help to get back to his own time and place. Are they up to the Challenge? And it’s a Challenge that will test their understanding of number, shape and direction to the max. Our Pirate visitors include Captain Richard Morgan and Captain Sally Morgan.
