100 Days of Money, Fractions, & Telling the Time: Maths Workbook (With Answer Key): Ages 6-11 – Count Money (Counting UK Coins and Notes), Learn … 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) -…
100 days of practice counting money, learning fractions, and telling the time. Three core areas of maths that students often need additional help to master. Start by counting groups of coins that have a value of a pound or less. Slowly learn to count greater amounts of money that include small and large notes too. Add and subtract values, and even learn to make change. Learn fractions one step at a time. Start with simple fractions and eventually learn to add and subtract mixed numbers. Telling the time is one of the more difficult concepts for children to learn. Gradually progress from learning to tell hours, to quarter hours. Eventually tell time in five minute and minute increments. This is a great workbook to start out with. Most students will grasp the concepts within each of the three sections. If a student still needs more practice, Humble Math has workbooks that provide additional practice for these concepts too.Read more

Professor Povey’s Perplexing Problems: Pre-University Physics and Maths Puzzles with Solutions
In Professor Povey’s Perplexing Problems, Thomas Povey shares 109 of his favourite problems in physics and maths. A tour de force of imagination and exposition, he takes us by the hand and guides us through uncompromisingly challenging territory that expands our minds and encourages a playful and exploratory approach to study. The puzzles, he says, are like toys. We should pick up the one we most enjoy, and play with it.
Whether you are an aspiring scientist or an old-hand, pitting yourself against these problems will test your ability to think, and inspire you with curiosity and enthusiasm for physics. Presented with charm and wit, the questions span the gap between high-school and university-entrance standard material. Detailed answers are lightened with a fascinating and refreshing blend of scientific history, application and personal anecdote.
On this delightful and idiosyncratic romp through pre-university maths and physics, the author shows us that behind every single one of these questions lies a new way of thinking about subjects we thought we had understood. He argues that engaging with the unfamiliar is key to forming deeper insights and developing intellectual independence. Professor Povey’s Perplexing Problems is a manifesto that science should be playful, and a celebration of the curious.
