Number Agents is an approach to teaching maths that I developed out of the Mantle of the Expert Approach. In essence Number Agents is an imagined company that work to defeat villains on behalf of clients. To defeat the villains they must solve math related problems. Number agents is an approach for juniors (year 1-3) however I believe with a little modification the concept would work brilliantly for senior children. Number Agents combines drama, play based learning and problem solving to engage, motivate and excite learners. This imagined world fits with how children love to learn and gives an authenticity and purpose to maths. It is also a huge amount of fun!
You can order a hard copy of the book (spiral bound with the back of each page blank for your own notes) for $20 and $6.50 postage using this form. Payment details are on this form and I will be in touch with you via email as quickly as I can after getting your order. Hard copy books are only available to orders within New Zealand.

If you would like a PDF copy of the book, the easiest way to do this is to visit my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. This is very much a store in development and I am still working on developing and refining resources. This PDF version can be accessed here.
