Great Jewel Robbery

The Great Jewel Robbery draws on the creative and interactive features of adventure games, and applies them to a series of exciting and imaginative learning exercises. Children have to undertake a number of maths tasks to complete the game. The fun challenges are easy, straightforward and ideal for children at KS2 who find maths difficult. The tasks are fully in keeping with the spirit of the National Curriculum and represent good practice as encouraged by Non-statutory Guidance, HMI, OFSTED inspectors, etc. The tasks are set within a Victorian detective story a'la Sherlock Holmes. The story is about a robbery from a famous museum. Perhaps the most famous display is the priceless set of The 15 Crystal Jewels. One morning the museum guards discover that one of the 15 pieces is missing! Each problem in the adventure brings a piece of information which contributes to the overall solution.
