- Reading
- Pause at each story’s problem and let your child try it before looking at the toolbox examples. Then explore the similar examples and exercises together.
- Themes
- Maths in animal-care work: Three stories place readers in situations faced by people who care for aquatic animals; each leads to a maths problem, followed by toolbox examples and exercises. The structure uses work situations to explain and practise maths. The career settings provide context for problem-solving rather than establishing a judgement about animal care.
- Worth knowing
- The maths problems are part of the reading experience, rather than the book being only about animals. A child who finds problem-solving frustrating may appreciate tackling the examples together.
