About the The Number Puzzler (Ages 7-11)

The Number Puzzler (Ages 7-11) gives your Year 3 to Year 6 child a clear, structured route into number sequences and logical thinking—essential skills for Key Stage 2 maths and the problem-solving questions that trip many pupils up in SATs and class assessments. Published by Tarquin, this workbook focuses entirely on spotting patterns, filling gaps, and continuing sequences, turning abstract reasoning into a step-by-step challenge that builds genuine confidence.

Every puzzle presents a number sequence with missing terms—sometimes at the end, sometimes in the middle—and the book explains exactly how to discover the hidden rule behind each pattern. Your child learns to analyse first differences, test predictions, and check their logic, strengthening mental arithmetic and problem-solving in tandem. The systematic approach means even pupils who find maths tricky can follow the method, while those who already enjoy numbers will relish the increasing complexity. Because the focus is narrow and deep, practice becomes purposeful rather than overwhelming.

Inside pages showing worked examples of number sequence puzzles with first differences method and practice questions — Clear worked examples demonstrate how to find the rule and next number in Type 1 sequences, followed by practice puzzles for independent work

Pupils emerge with sharper reasoning, quicker mental calculation, and the satisfaction of cracking puzzles that once looked impossible. The workbook aligns with Year 3, 4, 5, and 6 national curriculum expectations for number and problem-solving, so the skills transfer directly to classroom tests and homework. It ships as a physical workbook, ready to annotate, revisit, and carry to tutoring sessions or holidays. Parents appreciate the clear structure—no guesswork about what comes next—and children enjoy the detective work of uncovering each sequence's secret.

The Number Puzzler suits any Year 3 to Year 6 pupil who needs to sharpen logical thinking or who simply loves a good maths challenge. It works equally well for daily ten-minute drills, confidence-boosting revision before assessments, or as a focused supplement alongside school homework. The systematic explanations mean your child can work independently, and you'll see progress in both speed and accuracy as pattern recognition becomes second nature.
