This is one of a series which is designed to take the mystery out of maths. The text outlines games and activities requiring only a few easily-obtained materials and each concept is presented on a full-colour double-page spread. The concepts follow the guidelines for the National Curriculum. Focusing on shapes, this book aims to teach children to understand their significance and to recognize the shapes of everyday objects. It highlights the many angles on a clock-face, the importance of shapes in the construction of a house and why parallel lines can never meet. Other topics include tessellation, 3-D shapes including spheres, cylinders, cubes, cuboids, pyramids and prisms.
