About the Number Challenges (Ages 7-11)
Here are our top reasons to buy the Number Challenges (Ages 7-11):
- Number puzzles for a confident child in Years 3 to 6, ages 7-11
- Stretches counting, mental arithmetic and problem solving beyond the usual National Curriculum practice
- Challenges built from tables, grids and charts for your child to complete
- Every puzzle stands alone, so a session can be ten minutes long
- A printed workbook from Tarquin, written by Gerald Jenkins
Give your Year 3 to Year 6 child a puzzle instead of a worksheet, and the maths they already find easy starts to get interesting again.

Your child is ahead in maths and finds the work at school straightforward, so they need something with more bite. This workbook sets number puzzles for children in Years 3 to 6, built on counting, mental arithmetic and problem solving from the National Curriculum.

Each challenge is laid out visually in this printed workbook, using tables, grids and charts instead of long written explanations. On one page your child fills in missing digits across five cascade diagrams, adding pairs to reach single-digit sums. Another fits twelve four-digit perfect cubes into a crossword-style grid.
Because every puzzle stands alone, ten minutes is enough to finish one. A Year 7 child who wants to firm up number skills will find plenty here as well. Working out why a pattern holds is the part that feeds back into lessons.
