Day-to-day life is full of scenarios where your skill with numbers is tested, whether it's dividing up your share of the restaurant bill, or working out whether you've been overcharged at the checkout.

Includes chapters on: • How to Check a Till Receipt Quickly • Long division • Multiplying and Dividing by 10, 100 or 1,000 • Money and Percentages • Converting metres, Litres and Grams • Angles, Triangles and Trig.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading whatever your competence in Maths 27 Jun 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very interesting book, which had been recommended to me by a friend in New Zealand. However, if you are a total number-blind person, this is really not the book for you, as you do need a certain amount of good basic maths to understand it. I got mine 'used' but when it came it looked absolutely brand spanking new, so either the pre-owner never read it, or if they did, only to page 2! A real bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Everyday Maths interesting 26 Mar 2013
By Oliver
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was never any good at maths , in fact anything to do with numbers . I must have been one of a significant number of pupils who could never make any sense of it all .This book makes everyday maths interesting .Had a similar kind of book been available when I was a schoolboy I think my understanding (of what I thought at the time was a tedious subject )would have been so much better . A very good book .
