‘The History of Maths’ is a 60 minute play that looks at the use of different Maths techniques through the ages. We look at real historical events, like the building of the Pyramids and Henry VIII and his wives, and show the children how maths could have been used in a humorous and engaging way that will inspire them and make them realise how important maths is in everyday life. The play is made up of lots of different sketches that will keep the children entertained and also has audience participation to keep them thinking!

We offer 2 versions of the play, one for Key Stage 1 and one for Key Stage 2. In the KS1 version we look at counting, solid and flat shapes, simple problem solving and using addition and subtraction, as well as introducing mathematical vocabulary. In the KS2 version we also cover multiplication and subtraction, simple fractions, communication and reasoning and situational problem solving as well as the use of precise mathematical language and vocabulary.

Teachers are always amazed at how enthusiastic the children are about Maths after watching the show! Consequently there are loads of testimonial and photos on our website at www.hobgoblintheatrecompany.co.uk
