Maths and Non-verbal reasoning puzzle books/apps for yr 4

[Chocwocdoodah]

My DD is 8 and loves puzzle books. I thought I could use this to her advantage by introducing her to some non-verbal reasoning puzzles (thinking ahead to the 11+!) and maths ones (as she’s not v confident at maths).

Can anyone recommend any fun books (that don’t look like text books!) or apps/websites appropriate for her age please?

not got it handy but we had a set of 4 IQ puzzle books from the Book People which proved popular with one of my girls. The other one rejected anything remotely mathematical and I had to specifically buy her a puzzle book of word puzzles from The Works!

Yes! The math quest books are great (There are quite a few of the top of my head museum of mysteries, mansion of mazes, cavern of clues, the island of tomorrow). Great adventure books not remotely like a textbook. My son devoured them. They focus on the problem solving aspect of maths (rather than just arithmetic). My son loves them.

Fantastic, thank you - will take a look!

look up The adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat and The Number Devil (that has a pink fluffy calculator in the story!)
