Bedtime math 2
Laura Overdeck
- Reading
- Try choosing a level together before beginning, then take turns reading a problem and working it out. If bedtime is near, agree on how many puzzles to attempt so the activity fits your routine.
- Themes
- Everyday arithmetic: The problems use familiar subjects—including pets, missing socks, glitter and running speed—as starting points for maths. The book frames arithmetic as something that can be explored through ordinary experiences, using humour and puzzles rather than presenting it only as formal work.
- Worth knowing
- This is a hands-on maths activity rather than a continuous story. It may suit a bedtime routine when your child is in the mood to solve problems, though the book’s own framing does not guarantee that every puzzle will feel relaxing.
