Baz (Full name Basildon after the town where his mother first met his father) is not the most gifted or popular child in his school - in fact if it wasn't for bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all.

However, when a mysterious new app appears on his Nintendo DS things definitely take a turn for the better - all of a sudden he's a mathematical genius! But at what cost?

When his school enters him into the popular television quiz 'What's your number?' the app shows itself in an entirely different light. World Domination? Don't be silly….or maybe? Find out in Mrs Jessop and the Math's Lesson of Doom.

Infants (4-7yrs) We look at place value, counting on and back using a number line and a number square, problem solving using various methods of mental calculation and basic number patterns.
