Glitch Detectives — Money Maths
A quick 4-page activity pack. Instead of handing your kids a boring worksheet of random questions on money, this turns them into Glitch Detectives.
Their job isn't to solve a problem from scratch — it's to act as an auditor and find the deliberate, hidden mistakes in two exciting real-world scenarios: The Pantry Restock Mission, where your child audits a checkout receipt with a glitch in the subtotal, and The Toy Store Takeover, where the cash register at The Playful Pixel Toy Co. is malfunctioning. Your child must investigate the intended purchases, find the miscalculated totals on the receipt, and fix the store's system.
Using a simple 5-step framework — Investigate, Detect, Repair, Explain, Result — your child won't just be doing maths; they will be auditing it.

Mathematical auditing
Spotting hidden logical errors in everyday systems (like automated store receipts) instead of just solving equations from scratch.

Critical thinking & communication
Proving exactly why a calculation is wrong and writing out how to fix it, which builds massive confidence in their reasoning skills.
