Learn Maths with Mo: Fractions

Learn all about fractions with Mo the Monster and his friends in these fun first maths books for children aged 5 and up.

Mo and his mum are going shopping today! Mo is very distracted by all the lovely things to buy (especially the cake), but manages to learn about sets, halves, thirds and quarters, and how fractions work, during his day out. But when he's busy eating pizza with Slippery Sid, his mum disappears. Help! How can you find her Mo?

If a monster can understand maths, anyone can! Join Mo the Monster as he discovers the basic principles of maths, from what a fraction is, to what 3D shapes are to how to multiply BIG numbers. Along the way, Mo is kept focused (monsters are notoriously easily distracted) with the help of simple, clearly presented information, plenty of questions to answer and lots of maths puzzles and activities.

The funny, colourful illustrations offer lots of scope for humour and interest to keep children engaged while they learn. Aimed at readers aged 5+.
