This is such a cool book! I like how it introduces math concepts in a friendly way and has colorful and engaging illustrations for kids.

'The School of Numbers: Learn about Mathematics with 40 Simple Lessons' by Emily Hawkins with illustrations by Daniel Frost takes math concepts and makes them approachable to young learners.

Readers are invited to board the Starship Infinity and are guided by the various quirky crew members. The book is divided in to 3 terms: Getting the Knack of Numbers, All Shapes and Sizes, and Real World Maths. Each lesson takes up two pages full of examples and colorful illustrations. There is an activity bubble to practice ach new concept.

This book is really great! It makes math accessible and does it in a fun way. Things are clearly explained and the scope of the book goes quite a way into mathematics. The illustrations are fun as are the characters that help the reader along the way.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing-Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

It is possible to feel excited about learning math!

In a very creative way, the author intertwines a story as members of an Astro Academy starship and takes us on a super fun journey of mathematics. The content is very integrative, from historical data, interesting real world facts; precise explanations to carry out operations and solve puzzles, geometry and perimeters, symmetry and measurements. Everything is arranged for tutors and educators to accompany reading to children who will be curious to discover why mathematics is widely useful and can also be fascinating.

The illustrations accompany in a splendid, colorful way and exemplify the content very well. It also shows children the importance of mathematics in daily life, science, engineering, cartography, probability and statistics. This book is suitable to accompany the little ones and as a great didactic resource for older children. What I liked most are the mental math tips, puzzles and amazing phenomena that occur with mathematics, even as adults we do not cease to be surprised.

I feel very captivated by this Quarto Publishing Group material, I give my recommendation as it has the potential that children love math and get excited to learn them.

My sincere appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

Interesting book with insight into numbers. My daughter enjoyed it too and it helped her to understand some number facts. However many of the images didn’t display properly on my kindle or iPad so it was difficult for her to fully engage with the maths facts. A great idea but sadly the advance copy just didn’t work properly to give a fully rounded perspective.

A most wonderful book about mathematics! I am certainly impressed.
It is not the most comprehensive reference but it's good enough to introduce basic math concepts to children. While some of the concepts are too abstract to explain, the illustrations help children to visualize them effectively. There is no textbook text or explanation. The contents are reinforced with simple explanations with graphics. The great thing about this math book is that it can be used over a good number of years!

"The School of Numbers" covers a wide array of math topics (almost all the basics but algebra.) It's fun and engaging, and the book certainly portraits math an interesting and welcoming subject. I wish I grew up with books like this because it took me a long time before I fell in love with math. This is definitely a must have book to own. Highly recommended.

Do you know a child who loves Math? Do you know one who doesn't but you would like to change that? Both kinds of kids may very well enjoy this book that makes Math fun.

The book opens with a "Letter of Acceptance to the Starship Infinity Astro Academy" and invites your Cadet to "Prepare to Join Us as We Explore the Cosmos and Discover Some Mathematical Marvels." Guided by the team, children will learn about topics including prime numbers, square roots, decimals, geometric shapes, graphs and charts, probability and much more. There are 40 lessons in all.

Throughout the text there are appealing, bright illustrations. Children move through three terms at the academy, after which they graduate.

This book will make math intriguing and encourage learning. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for taking me on this journey. All opinions are my own.

Fascinating world of maths explained in 40 clear and engaging lessons.
I find it difficult even to choose the most interesting lesson: Feel the Freeze about negative numbers presented in the context of coldest places on Earth, Getting Handle on Angles, Easy as Pi, or Body Maths. Playful artwork and bold bright colours help to illustrate and support points made by the authors.
Strongly recommended for those who loved maths and those who didn't, but would like their children to love it or at least to understand the basic concepts in an effortless memorable way.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group Wide Eyed Editions for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

Fun story - history of numbers interwoven with math lessons.
Would make a good read-aloud initially and then could use each lesson as a follow up to your regular math lesson or as a center activity.
Problems and info get harder as the story progresses.

On board the Spaceship Infinity you become a cadet learning about mathematics. From single digits to long division, Fibonacci Sequence, angles and shapes, symmetry, distance in space and time, graphs and charts, and so much more.

The illustrations are wonderful and I'd recommend the book as a reference book that can be used for pre-schoolers and older kids.

Our 3rd grader loves math and this was such a perfect book for him. The School of Numbers introduces different math topics and lessons and shares them in such an engaging way. There is the perfect balance of text vs. illustrations that kept him super interested. There was a great balance of information while also relating to real-world examples that made the lessons enjoyable and relatable. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto publishing for a copy of this book...all opinions are my own.

A fun way to introduce math and number concepts. I could see using this in my homeschool and I like that the concepts spans several years of learning.

The School of Numbers is a fun, easy, illustrated manual for kids that makes math enjoyable and exciting. The lessons cover many different topics that span several grade levels.

A fun way to engage children in maths at a young age. It's so completely different to everything I know of maths that it wasn't a comfortable read; which is a good thing. It brings fun, humour and charm to a subject I found dry and straight laced.
