Teachers' & objective parents' views on maths books

[iseenodust]

I've seen a boxed set of Murderous Maths but am not sure what age they are aimed at (cellophaned so can't flick). I'm not out to spark a MN fest of my DC aced them age 2 so would like to know, if you have them in school, what year/age an 'average' ability child would enjoy them?

Hi iseenodust

My DD1 has been using these in Year 6 - as a kind of warm-up exercise/ fill the gap exercise I guess.

Seems to be a KS2 Upper kind of thing in general.

Unfortunately the author's website (www.murderousmaths.co.uk/) rather unhelpful gives no guide to age range. But the content of the books is more fully described if that's any help.

I know my DD1 liked doing these.

A quick google says ages 8 and up - presumably depends on book?

PastSell that link is great, thank you.
The pack of all them covers KS2 topics (such as long division) up to compound interest & properties of infinity - a bargainous many years worth .

Dd1 is in Y2 and loves math. Got that box set for her along with a larger Murderous Math book. She read several of them. I haven't probed her on what she learned - but she seemed to enjoy them. Will no doubt re-read them later again.
