Across 20 playful cases, children follow clues, compare possibilities, spot mistakes, find patterns, work with money, and explain how they know. This page offers a closer look at the investigation; subscribers find the complete game in the course collection.

Math in Everyday Life is a set of 8 quick-reference cheatsheets for parents who want one simple idea to use right away. Spot playful math in mealtimes, play, tidying up, walks, cooking, bath time, books, and more, with no required order and nothing complicated to prepare.

Treasure Trail Maker is a course-exclusive maze generator for course members. Choose a maze style, challenge level, and colour world, then create fresh Mathy Cat mazes with matching gem-counting activities for print or on-screen play.
