Description
Summary:	Maths teacher Peps McCrae, from Falmer High School in Broghton, faces a challenge motivating his Year 11s. To help come up with some ideas to improve the situation, Peps joins maths ninja Lieutenant Peter Erhahiemen for a day at the Royal Navy's training base in Portsmouth. Maths is seen as a vital skill here, underpinning just about everything the Navy does. Amazingly it takes Peter just three weeks to turn a class of ratings - many of whom failed maths GCSE - from white belt to blue belt mathematicians. Peps is keen to learn some tricks of the trade to take back to the classroom, as he observes Peter's techniques in the classroom, and on-board the training ship.
