About this title

Synopsis

Young puzzlers can put their math skills to the test with this brain-boosting activity book, inspired code-cracking hero Alan Turing.

Published in association with the Turing Trust, this illustrated full-color puzzle book has been specially designed to intrigue, challenge, and inspire young readers. Alan Turing appears as a character in the book, popping up with extra number problems or secret codes to challenge readers to think a little bit harder.

Includes:
• Mathematical mazes
• Pattern recognition puzzles
• Times tables-themed games
• Clever counting conundrums.

Supporting STEM learning and curriculum learning, these activities invent new ways to aid math learning outside the classroom. Guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment for children aged 7+.

Sales of this book support the work of The Turing Trust, the charity set up by Alan's family in his memory to provide much-needed computers to schools in Africa, thereby celebrating his legacy in computer development.
