Starting off with shapes

The "Starting Off..." series is intended to give children aged five and upwards a head start in early maths.

The 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.This volume names and explains all the most important two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, pointing out how they are constructed from sides, faces angles, right angles and bases.

The book, as with each title in the series, includes a word bank of key mathematical terms.
