Image for Let's Do Maths!Not currently available on BBC iPlayer

Duration: 1 hour

Say hello to Ambrose the apprentice, wrestling with maths in his new job at the Grecian Pizza Parlour. Meet the Measure family using maths in fun and familiar ways to help with life at home. And hang out with the Ugly Sisters and Buttons in the Panto House. Only maths can make sense of the silly scrapes they get into.

These videos are lesson starters for teachers of Key Stage 2 maths. They explore space, shape and measure, and each ends with three questions increasing in levels of difficulty.
