Review

This is a little jewel of a book which is crammed full of intriguing and accessible problems, puzzles and investigations. Activities are chosen carefully that will help children understand maths as a subject which is about looking for relationships and patterns and making sense of numbers. It supports teachers to teach children to manipulate, visualise and think with key models, such as the array and number line and to communicate about the mathematical connections they are making. -- Julie Alderton, Faculty of Education Cambridge University
