About the The Number Puzzler (Ages 7-11)

Here are our top reasons to buy The Number Puzzler (Ages 7-11):

  • Number sequence puzzles matched to the National Curriculum for Years 3 to 6
  • Builds mental arithmetic and problem solving through one clear kind of puzzle
  • Chapters run from Type 1 sequences to Type 2 sequences, where the step itself changes
  • Worked examples show how first and second differences reveal the rule
  • A printed workbook by Roy Mullins, for children ages 7-11

Your child meets a row of numbers with a gap, and this workbook shows how to find the rule, from Year 3 to Year 6.

Two worked examples show how to find the next number in a sequence, followed by five practice puzzles for children to solve
Children find the next number in five sequences, applying rules shown in two worked examples.

Number patterns run all through primary maths, and spotting them helps with much of the work your child does in class. The Number Puzzler stays on that one idea and builds it up chapter by chapter. It covers ages 7-11, so your child begins at the right level.

This page explains how to solve Type 2 sequence puzzles by calculating first and second differences to find the next number
Clear worked examples show how to find the next number in a sequence by calculating first and second differences.

The puzzles come in types. In the first chapter your child reads two worked examples, then finds the next number in five sequences of the same kind. Later chapters use first and second differences, and this printed workbook sets that method out clearly.

So your child is not guessing. They test a rule, then check it against the numbers, which is the sort of reasoning the KS2 SATs look for. A Year 7 child whose mental arithmetic never quite settled can rebuild it here.
