About the Number Challenges (Ages 7-11)
Number Challenges (Ages 7-11) gives children in Years 3 to 6 a fresh way to explore maths beyond routine worksheets. Each puzzle invites pupils to investigate the properties of numbers, spot hidden patterns, and solve problems using logic and mental arithmetic. If your child thrives on puzzles or needs something different to build confidence with counting and number relationships, this workbook delivers engaging, curriculum-aligned practice that feels more like play than homework.

The challenges use tables, charts, and diagrams to present problems visually, so children can complete grids, fill in sequences, and uncover relationships between numbers step by step. This hands-on format sharpens problem-solving skills and mental arithmetic without relying on heavy written explanations. Every puzzle is self-contained, making it easy to dip in for ten minutes or work through several pages in one sitting. The workbook is published by Tarquin and ships as a physical book, ready to use the day it arrives.
Because the puzzles stretch thinking rather than repeat familiar drills, children often discover strategies they can apply across the English National Curriculum for maths in Years 3, 4, 5, and 6. Parents report that the variety keeps motivation high, and the visual layout helps pupils who find dense text off-putting. Over time, tackling these challenges builds resilience, numerical fluency, and the quiet confidence that comes from cracking a tricky puzzle independently.
Number Challenges suits any child aged seven to eleven who enjoys investigative maths or needs a break from traditional exercises. Whether your goal is to consolidate classroom learning, prepare for the step up to secondary school, or simply nurture a love of numbers, this workbook offers the right balance of challenge and reward.
