This Teachers TV classroom resource for Key Stage Two mathematics presents eight dramatised situations highlighting a problem to be solved. The clips are intended to be used as starters for primary lessons on fractions, decimals and percentages, or numbers and algebra.

Bring maths lessons to life by:
*using angles to find Pirate Kate's lost treasure
*using fractions and percentages to help Nateisha with her packed lunch survey
*using division in both The Thief's Problem and The Puppy Problem

Also:
*explore volume and division in Mrs Hanson's Problem

A suitable year group is suggested by a tile board at the start of each problem.
