Understanding Maths: Geometry & Measurement

Understanding Maths is a series of topic-based study books for children in Key Stage 2, providing rigorous practice of key subject areas. Each topic contains a concise summary of the information required by the National Curriculum, making the series ideal for use as preparation for the Key Stage 2 tests. Each book is a stand-alone resource, so children can either work through them in order or focus on individual aspects of the subject. Together, the nine books support the whole of the Key Stage 2 maths curriculum, providing a solid foundation for success in maths. Geometry & Measurement meets the National Curriculum requirements for Key Stage 2 maths, and covers the following areas: triangles, circles, symmetry, angles, co-ordinates, length, mass, capacity, time, area and volume. This book explores the geometry of 2-D and 3-D shapes and the use of metric and imperial measurements. Key features of Understanding Maths include: an Explanation to introduce each topic; activities to consolidate and revise knowledge and skills; thought-provoking facts to foster a love of learning beyond the National Curriculum; regular Progress tests and a Final test to track children's development.
