Summary

Improve your understanding of numbers by relating simple maths concepts to the world around you

Description

Maths is all around you; it can be seen everywhere in nature and in the human-made world.

In Numbers, find out how binary numbers help computers to run games and videos, how square numbers are used for measuring the space in a building, and how musical rhythms are counted through sequences of beats.

Simple artworks illustrate each concept to help visual learners get to grips with mathematical concepts and to encourage children to open their minds to how maths is an important part of the buildings we live in, the games we play and the ways we live our lives.

This series is designed for readers aged 7 and up to complement the content of traditional maths textbooks. Readers are also encouraged to have a go at some simple maths exercises, putting into practice what they have learned.

Written in consultation with a specialist former maths publisher.

The six titles in this series are:
Fractions
Measurements
Numbers
Shapes
Statistics
Sums
