The Philosophy Foundation: The Numberverse- How numbers are bursting out of everything and just want to have fun (The Philosophy Foundation Series)

Andrew Day offers the first steps to opening the minds of children to the excitement of numbers and why, through centuries of civilisation and human imagination, they have helped us to frame and shape our world. --From the Foreword by Robin Ince

A 'How To' guide with a difference. This book allowed me, as an experienced teacher, a fascinating insight into the world of maths and practical ways to help children truly understand the abstract nature of this subject. There is a glorious mixture of practical ideas, theory and anecdotes making this a very addictive read. I love the way it can be used as a dip-in-and-out planning resource or as an absorbing cover to cover read. It guides teachers gently but firmly towards being a facilitator of learning, showing us how to use enquiry to help pupils along the path of discovery. --Kirstin Fisher, Assistant Head Teacher, Ravenscroft Primary School
