Stories for Maths: KS1: A Visit to Uncle Vesper

Ember, Nimbus and the children have been invited to tea by Ember's Uncle Vesper. The older dragon is an inventor and has designed a special snack machine, but it doesn't quite work as expected. The children also make an amazing discovery. Stories for Maths helps develop maths mastery through the power of story. This series aligns with the White Rose Maths schemes of learning. Each book has questions at the bottom of the pages and an activity page at the end of the story, which help to draw out that learning by asking questions and encouraging talk about maths. The answers to the questions appear at the end of the book. Key maths words and phrases are also highlighted in each book, further helping to deepen understanding and grow children's mathematical skills. The books in Year 2/Primary 3 are designed for a child to be able to read independently. This book aligns with White Rose Maths for Position and direction, Step 1. Language of position and Step 3. Describe turns.
