Every Tool Comes With Its Own Investigation Questions
The tools are powerful on their own — but to get the most out of them, every tool comes with a curated set of investigation questions designed to provoke noticing, reasoning and mathematical thinking.
👩🏫
For Teachers
Project questions onto the board to drive whole-class discussion, or hand them to students as an investigation to work through.
📚
For Students
Work through the investigation questions independently to deepen your understanding and test what you think you know.
👨👩👧
For Parents
Explore the questions together with your child — no maths expertise needed, just a willingness to notice and wonder.

🧮
Manipulatives
10-frames, Dienes blocks, Numicon, coins, dice and more to investigate place value and number relationships.
🔴
Place Value Counters
Drag counters into place value columns to build and partition numbers. Exchange between columns to explore regrouping.
🏛️
Place Value Columns
Multiply, divide, add and subtract while watching digits shift through place value columns. See expanded form in real time.
↔️
Addition & Subtraction Number Line
Watch addition and subtraction come alive as animated jumps along a number line. Bridge through zero with directed numbers.
🚶
Multiplication Number Line
Use the walking method to multiply on a number line — face a direction, then walk forward or backward to see why negative × negative = positive.
🔢
Number Grid Explorer
Shade multiples, primes, squares and triangular numbers on a fully customisable grid. Change rows, columns, start and step to reveal patterns.
✖️
Multiplication Grid
Highlight times tables, spot the diagonal of square numbers, find prime products and explore patterns across the multiplication grid.
💯
Fraction, Decimal, Percentage Grid
Shade cells on interactive 100-square grids to explore fractions, decimals and percentages, and how they connect.
💥
Number Smash
Combine any two numbers and add, subtract, multiply and divide. Can you make the target numbers?
🧩
Factor & Multiple Tiles
Split any number into factor pairs, decompose into a product of prime factors, or find the first 5 multiples.
🍕
Fraction Tiles
Investigate fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction with colourful, draggable fraction tiles.
🧱
Fraction Wall
Select fractions to see equivalences, toggle decimals and percentages, compare and add fractions, and reorder rows.
📊
Fraction Bars
Investigate the addition and subtraction of fractions with splittable fraction bars — ideal for bar modelling.
🔄
Double-Sided Counters
Flip counters between positive and negative to model integers, create zero pairs, and explore directed number operations.
📐
Geoboard
Investigate shapes, angles, area and perimeter on a variety of Geoboards — square grid, isometric, coordinate and more.
🎲
Probability Tools
Run probability experiments with coins, dice, spinners and bags. Track convergence, compare snapshots and explore sample spaces.
