KS2 Maths: Study Book Pt. 1 & 2 (Study Books)
Just one of a great collection of primary maths books. Full of good humour ( the jokes aren’t bad if you are 10 years old) and colourful explanations. Popular with schools as well as parents – many schools are recommending it as a revision guide, which is a pretty fair description of it. Probably the biggest drawback is that there is a limited amount of work to actually do.

The Essential Arithmetricks (Murderous Maths)
Now, how serious do you like your maths?
‘Not very much!’
OK then the Murderous Maths series might be right up your street.
I have taken my favourite of the series: The Essential Arithmetricks featuring Pongo McWhiffy amongst many others, who guide you through the complexities of arithmetic – including awful addition, sickly subtraction, terrible tables, maddening multiplication and diabolical division.
22/30 Fizz Buzz: 101 Spoken Numeracy Games – Ideal for Mental Maths
Now, I am often asked what kinds of activities can parents do with their children at home to encourage mathematical thinking and to speed up knowledge of tables, addition etc. Well this book supplies many of the answers. The key is in the rest of the title: “101 Spoken Numeracy Games.” It covers pretty much everything in calculating and knowledge of number for primary school children and is aimed at mental arithmetic rather than pencil and paper maths.
16/30 Folens: Maths for the less able
This series of four files is aimed at children between 7 and 11 who don’t find maths easy. Folders of work rather than a book as such. Generally, they address the needs of children who are about two years below the average for their age group and they do this quite well.
Maths From Stories: a selection of superb story books to help with early years maths
The first in our series of books for 3-5 year old children to help with maths: in this case a superb book to help with counting and adding.
Margaret Mahy is one of our most popular and successful writers for young children and this book is one of her best.
A young boy is walking home and he finds himself being followed by a hippopotamus. The hippo goes into his garden pond and settles down to live. The same thing happens again, and again until his parents decide there is no room left for any more.
