Filled with brightly illustrated activities, puzzles and games, this innovative series is designed to encourage children to enjoy maths and to inspire confidence in their use of numbers from an early age. Aimed at 7-11 year olds, the books support national curriculum teaching practices which emphasize the importance of developing children's abilities through games and the use of visual and structural materials. Using material and concepts from cultures around the world, Mathematical Games aims to give children a grounding in numbers that will supplement their classroom teaching and motivate them to develop their understanding of maths in a light-hearted and fun-packed manner. Using paper games, dice, counters and dominoes, a series of carefully constructed puzzles will delight children and increase mathematical reasoning - and it's a great way for parents to learn with their kids, too. A six-page card tip-in at the back of the book includes all the necessary templates, game boards and puzzle pieces to complete the activities.

Synopsis
Aimed at seven-to-11-year-olds and designed for learning at home, the "Mad About Maths" series follows international curriculum guidelines emphasizing the importance of developing children's abilities through games and the use of visual and structural materials. The three books in the series are packed full of multicultural, imaginative theme-based activities, such as number games, quizzes and picture puzzles, motivating children and stimulating their own thinking and exploration of mathematical ideas. Each book also contains six tip-in leaves with press-out numbers, strips, boards and counters to use in the games and puzzles. Bright, eye-catching artwork makes the series visually stimulating as well as educational. Numbers are incredibly versatile and interesting. This title looks at the magic that you can conjure up with prime numbers, "think-of-a-number", Pascal's triangle and Egyptian fractions, to name but a few. The attention given to spotting numerical patterns and differences should also help to improve a child's eye for detail.
