Numbers, Numbers Everywhere
Age range 6 to 9
An original concept where maths is explained on real life situations showing the practical usage of numbers in our everyday lives.
Maths is usually considered a demanding, boring or even a scary subject. But numbers are all around us and we use them and maths constantly without even realising it. Various usage of numbers in different environments is presented in 17 chapters and the book ends with a double-spread where kids can try out their newly gained knowledge.
The aim of this book is to show maths as a fun and useful subject that can be comprehensible and that helps us in many ways on a daily basis.
