Maths All Around You: Fractions

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

In Fractions, discover how we use fractions and decimals to, among many other things, share a pizza, play music and tell the time.

Simple artworks illustrate each concept to help visual learners get to grips with mathematical concepts and to encourage children to open their minds to how maths plays an important part of the buildings we live in, the games we play and the ways we live our lives. This series is designed for readers aged 7 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.
