He is the author of more than 100 maths books for children, has written for a major Primary maths website, and acted as consultant on many maths-based projects.
Amazing Shapes brings this very important early learning topic to life with cute, bold illustrations, and lots of flaps to open.
This interactive book follows the early primary Maths curriculum, with a few extra opportunities for eager learners, so that children feel supported and excited when they meet geometry topics in and out of class. Lift-the-flaps elements, fun questions throughout, plus a quiz at the end of the book encourage a child's curiosity, helping them become independent little learners who love maths!
Children will get to know squares, circles, triangles, spheres, cubes, pyramids, and many more, and discover what makes each of these shapes extra important. They'll learn all about sides, corners, vertices, symmetry, turns, and tessellation as they lift the exciting flaps. Little readers can even turn 2-D shapes into 3-D with special net flaps!
With Amazing Shapes, children will literally make geometry come off the page and into the real world.
