Numbers may sound dull but in fact they are incredibly versatile, wacky and interesting. Number Magic looks at the fun you can conjure up with prime numbers, Egyptian-style fractions and magic squares, to name but a few. Packed with imaginative theme-based interactive topics designed to stimulate and motivate children, Number Magic will develop their mathematical abilities and help to increase their confidence in using numbers. // This is a bright, colourful series to help Key Stage 2 children (7 to 11) develop their number skills and mathematical confidence, mainly by learning at home in support of their National Curriculum classroom studies. Each book is packed with mathematical puzzles and games and includes 12 pages of press-out pieces to use with the activities (counters, board games, etc). The books are fun and stimulating and turn a subject which many children find slightly daunting into something which is accessible and enjoyable. They contain some more advanced maths too, for children who enjoy the subject and want to do more. The activities are designed for small groups as well as individuals and so encourage social as well as individual play.
