Junior Maths Book 1

"FANTASTIC. Exactly what I want. Surprisingly challenging for Year 3, certainly compared to modern numeracy strategy schemes from the major publishers." Peter Boyle, The Dragon School WOW! The presentation is attractive and stimulating - just what is needed to capture and hold the attention of the young, especially for the significant minority who find the subject more than challenging." David Hanson "Well done on a challenging text book that introduces a variety of methods and encourages independent learning." Lucy Cooper, Marlborough House School "Just what we have been waiting for. A fun yet no nonsense book suitable for the needs of every year 3 pupil." Carolyn Hatt, Wellesley House School "The book is enlivened by practical activities and by interesting facts that the children will enjoy." Serena Alexander, Devonshire House School
