Product description for Parents
Understanding Maths is a series of topic-based study books for children in Key Stage 2, providing rigorous practice of key subject areas. Each topic contains a concise summary of the information, making the series ideal for use as preparation for the Key Stage 2 tests.

Together, the nine books support the whole of the Key Stage 2 maths curriculum, providing a solid foundation for success in maths.

Problem Solving meets the requirements for Key Stage 2 maths, and covers the following areas: choosing operations, solving word problems, number puzzles, scaling, time, large numbers, negative numbers, square numbers, shape puzzles, money problems, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and the distributive law. The book also develops strategies for solving different maths problems, from deciphering the question to deciding on a solution.

an ‘Explanation’ to introduce each topic
activities to consolidate and revise knowledge and skills
thought-provoking facts to foster a love of learning
regular ‘Progress tests’ and a ‘Final test’ to track children’s development.
