Another type of book that can support a child’s maths learning are books with mazes, maps and puzzles. These help with developing understanding about space and shape and direction. The library usually has these books in a special section and they may also have maths puzzle books. You can encourage your child to work through a puzzle or a maze by sitting with them and offering praise and suggestions.
