anthology of mathematically-based poems for children has been usefully sub-divided into topics - for example number and counting, size and comparison - all of which are suggested in the National Curriculum. This is a fun-packed anthology drawn from many diverse sources which aims to highlight the much-neglected creative side of maths and stimulate interest. Every child will be able to relate what they learn in the classroom, not only to the shape and size of objects around them, but now also in a way to poetry.
