Maths is all around you; it can be seen everywhere in nature and in the human-made world.

This series is designed for readers aged 7 and up to complement the content of traditional maths textbooks. Readers are also encouraged to have a go at some simple maths exercises, putting into practice what they have learned.
Written in consultation with a specialist former maths publisher.
