The Picnic Problem (Paperback original)

Max and Suzy receive an invitation to a mathematical treasure hunt in the park. Can the dynamic duo use their maths skills to solve mind-bending puzzles in order to enjoy the perfect picnic? Challenges include: identifying shapes, counting, multiplying and dividing. Next steps at the end of the book detail the maths behind the story, with hands-on activities for children to experiment with the concepts explained, and find out for themselves how things work.

STEAM Stories is a series of interactive picture books, each introducing a different STEAM topic: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. Join dynamic duo Max and Suzy in these action-packed problem-solving adventures which introduce children to key STEAM concepts through a gripping, interactive story. A review section at the back of each book highlights the key topics, invites children to relate the story to their own experiences and improves reading comprehension.

This STEAM story introduces addition and subtraction, geometry, and multiplication and division. Together with Max and Suzy, young learners will explore the wonders of maths.
