Starting off with counting

"Starting Off with..." is a brand new series written to give children aged 5 and upwards a head start in early maths.

The full colour artwork supports and explains the text as well as being entertaining and motivating.

A wide variety of activities gives opportunity for lots of practice in new skills.

The content of each book ties in closely with the Numeracy Strategy in the UK.

Each title includes a word bank of key mathematical terms.
