The three books in the series are packed full of multicultural, imaginative theme-based activities, such as number games, quizzes and picture puzzles, motivating children and stimulating their own thinking and exploration of mathematical ideas. Each book also contains six tip-in leaves with press-out numbers, strips, boards and counters to use in the games and puzzles. Bright, eye-catching artwork makes the series visually stimulating as well as educational.;In this title in the series, spatial awareness is tackled through games and puzzles like mazes and congruent pieces. Interesting and original activities such as paper folding, mirror puzzles and tangrams heighten pattern recognition and increase practical mathematical skills.
