Media Reviews
In refreshingly jargon-free style, Help Your Child with Numeracy Ages 7-11, explains the major mathematical ideas now taught. Parents baffled by children coming home and talking about 'empty number lines' or doing calculations differently to how they were taught should find this book helpful in demystifying school mathematics. This book will support parents in having meaningful conversations about maths with their children and so may help make learning numeracy more enjoyable for all.
