I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the Mathematical Challenges (Ages 11-14)

Mathematical Challenges (Ages 11-14) is a problem-solving workbook designed to stretch able mathematicians in Years 7, 8 and 9. Published by Tarquin and extensively trialled by a Mathematics Advisor in Kent, it offers practical challenges across problem solving, algebra and geometry. Each task develops mathematical thinking through real-world scenarios, helping confident learners sharpen their reasoning skills and tackle unfamiliar questions with greater independence.

Every challenge includes a Task Sheet outlining the problem and detailed Explanatory Notes covering learning objectives, resources needed, teaching advice and full answers. This structure allows parents and teachers to guide pupils effectively, whether working independently at home or as enrichment in the classroom. The challenges are graded by accessibility rather than difficulty, so pupils of varying ability can engage with the material while those seeking extension work will find genuinely demanding problems that go beyond standard curriculum content.

Regular practice with these challenges builds the flexible thinking required for KS3 assessments and prepares pupils for GCSE Maths by encouraging them to approach unfamiliar problems with confidence. The workbook is in stock as a physical product with fast UK delivery, offering a ready resource for busy parents supporting high-achieving children who need stimulating material beyond routine homework.

This workbook suits ambitious Year 7–9 pupils who enjoy mathematical problem solving and benefit from structured extension tasks. Teachers and parents will value the comprehensive guidance notes, which make independent study straightforward and ensure every challenge delivers clear learning outcomes without requiring additional preparation.

Finally, the Mathematical Challenges (Ages 11-14) is also very useful for children studying outside of the UK on comparable international curriculums such as the Cambridge Primary Curriculum or The Pearson Edexcel International Primary Curriculum.
