Ralf and Netty's picnic goes wrong - grapes fall in mud, a duck steals a sandwich, and rain ruins the muffins. Can they still enjoy a whole lot of fun with half a picnic?
Stories for Maths helps develop maths mastery through the power of story.
This series aligns with White Rose Maths schemes of learning. Each book has questions at the bottom of the pages and an activity page at the end of the story, which help to draw out that learning by asking questions and encouraging talk about maths. Key maths words and phrases are also highlighted in each book, further deepening understanding and growing children's mathematical skills and vocabulary.
These fun and relatable stories help children feel more confident with maths and reduce anxiety, especially for those with special educational needs. The inclusive approach makes learning accessible during catch-up or intervention sessions. Sharing the stories together supports emotional connection, boosts memory, and encourages speech and language development - whether at home or in school.
The books in Year 1/Primary 2 are designed for an adult to read to a child, although there is some decodable text that children may be able to read themselves.
This book aligns with White Rose Maths for Year 1, Fractions, Step 1. Recognize a half of an object or shape and Step 3. Recognize a half of a quantity.
