This book is intended to act as an encouragement for children to learn their tables. On every page there are diagrams made up of small numbered areas. If that number will divide by the number being studied, then the area has to be coloured. When all the target areas of a particular puzzle are coloured, then the hidden picture is revealed. There are also other charts and 'hundred squares' to colour and the book is then rounded off with a target test to confirm the progress being made. £3.40
(No VAT on this product) | Following the pattern of her previous book, this second collection by Hilary McElderry offers new pictures to colour and further opportunity and encouragement for children to learn and practise their multiplication tables. £3.40 (No VAT on this product) | This collection of sixteen clever puzzle pictures offers lots of practice in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. For the earlier puzzles, all the numbers are whole numbers. After that they include fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios. It offers a visual and imaginative approach to getting more practice and is called 'Arithmetic Arithmetic...' because there are two different sets of sums for each of the pictures. Choose the easier set, the harder set or if you wish, both. £3.40 (No VAT on this product) | ||||

Cross Numbers Cross-numbers are the mathematical equivalents of crossword puzzles. The earlier puzzles in the book only require simple arithmetic and basic knowledge, but, as the sequence continues, so the level of difficulty increases. The later ones also demand some enjoyable logical reasoning to tease out the solutions. For the final puzzles, access to a calculator would be helpful and some would say essential! Anyone who enjoys arithmetic and likes to search for patterns and relationships between numbers will find much to please them in this book. £3.95 (No VAT on this product) | ||||||
