How to be a Maths Whizz



Bring maths to life as you discover the skills to becoming an expert mathematician in this exciting maths activity book for kids.

With more than 30 activities and crafts that children can play their way through, this kids' book takes the fear away from maths.

Children will find out that being a mathematician isn't just about scrawling numbers on a dusty chalkboard - it is part of our everyday lives!

How to be a Maths Whizz will teach kids to think like maths pros as they ask mathematical questions and get hands-on with key maths concepts. From calculation and place value, to time, shapes, and measurements, core curriculum maths topics are covered in creative and engaging ways.

This book invites you to investigate maths in a playful and hands-on way, using things from around your home: find out about 3D shapes by designing and building your own city, learn about measurement by growing your own plant, and uncover the mystery of coordinates through drawing your own treasure map. If you like solving problems, making things, and learning facts, then this is the book for you, mathematician!
