A new book titled How To Be A Maths Whizz published by DK books and written by Dr Anne-Marie MBE is one in which children can 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 children to investigate maths in a playful and hands-on way, using things from around their homes: finding out about 3D shapes by designing and building their own city, learn about measurement by growing their own plant, and uncover the mystery of coordinates through drawing their own treasure map.
Suitable for most age ranges but mainly 7-9 years.
