Mad About Maths Shape & Space

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 7-9 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. Shape & Space is filled with a whole range of activities designed to enhance children's knowledge and interest in shapes and spatial awareness, including original maze games, dissections and paper folding. A contrast to sometimes staid textbook material, this is an original approach to encouraging children that mathematics can be fun - 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.
