Lesley Higgin describes this book for ages 8-9: ‘It’s always a challenge to be able to provide enough opportunity for children to practise number work, without them getting bored with repetitive exercises. I hope that this book will help. I have developed the Mathstraks series to enable pupils to gain a solid understanding of numeracy through fun, challenge and play. There are lots of different activities to enable children to use their number skills in a variety of situations, including puzzles, problem-solving and games. I have enjoyed writing the tasks and, most importantly, they have worked extremely well with my classes. I hope you find the book useful and that the children enjoy it.” Fully up to date with the new curriculum, these activities will be welcomed by teachers and parents alike.
