The At Home with Maths Workbook series is written by experienced New Zealand teachers. They encourage learning at home, which translates into confidence in maths at school and a sound educational foundation.
At Home with Maths Workbook's are aligned to the primary school maths curriculum. Each book targets a specific age group (four to eleven year olds) and New Zealand Curriculum level (beginning Level 1 to Level 3). They cover measurement, geometry, number learning and more.
The books’ attractive, inviting presentation also offers a welcome bonus: your child will want to complete them!
