🔎 See how maths works in the real world

Connect classroom topics to real forensic analysis, routes, signals, and evidence.

WHAT IS MATHS FORENSICS?

Maths Forensics turns every maths topic into an investigation — each calculation uncovers a clue, every answer moves the case forward.

Students step into the role of a forensic analyst. Instead of working through pages of disconnected exercises, they solve full cases built around maps, signals, routes, and real evidence.

They’ll use maths to:

✔ Track suspects across routes and bearings
✔ Decode mobile phone mast data to locate devices
✔ Reconstruct crashes and movement paths
✔ Follow money trails with percentages and algebra
✔ Interpret evidence files, coordinates, diagrams, and blueprints

Every investigation aligns with real exam topics — algebra, trigonometry, probability, vectors, geometry — but presented through a story that actually makes the maths make sense.

It’s maths that teaches logic, confidence, and real problem-solving — not worksheets disguised as mystery.

How Maths Forensics Works

Step 1 Choose an Investigation

Pick from major cases, fast forensics, or casefile challenges covering topics like trigonometry, algebra, vectors, and percentages.

Step 2 Work through the evidence

Analyse maps, signals, routes, diagrams, and clues — each calculation uncovers a new piece of the story.

Step 3 Solve the case

Every answer pushes the investigation forward until the final suspect is revealed and the case is closed.

What do people say about Maths Forensics?

"Maths Forensics made maths finally make sense. Solving each case felt exciting — every clue unlocked by the maths. It's the first time I actually enjoyed maths."

Sofia

Year 10 Student

"My son used to dread maths as he felt he couldn't grasp concepts in classes. Now he feels more engaged and has more confidence in exams¨

Emma R

Parent

"These investigations are brilliant. Students stay focused, think critically, and genuinely understand the maths because students find it easier to relate to the question."
