Got this to help daughter with her maths, did just that. Cheap way of learning, brilliant.

I have a 5yo daughter who has a real aptitude and love of maths so this has been perfect. Being in year 1, this book helps reinforce what she has learnt at school and also gives her a look ahead to what she can expect later in the school year. The exercises are well laid out with good use of colour. The exercises are bite sized, allowing her to finish a section at a time. This is a great book and you can be reassured it follows the curriculum. I'm happy to leave my daughter to it and she really enjoys it. At £4.99 (at time of review), this is excellent value.

My children's school doesn't do homework so I like to get extra resources so we can practice together - just a little bit at a time, especially during longer school breaks to keep them in good shape. I love that this book comes with a guide for parents, I found it very helpful. The difficulty is just right for Year 1 and the book is varied and colourful enough to keep my child interested.

This product has been a fantastic addition to our home learning routine. The workbook is well-designed, with exercises tailored to the Year 1 curriculum. It provides a gentle introduction to key concepts like addition, subtraction, counting, and simple problem-solving, all in a format that feels approachable for young learners.The illustrations and layout are engaging, making practice sessions enjoyable rather than a chore. Each page has just the right balance of challenge and accessibility, keeping my child motivated while reinforcing their maths skills.I love that the workbook includes a variety of question types—this helps maintain interest and ensures a well-rounded approach to learning. The progress tracking sections are also a great touch, allowing us to see improvement over time and identify areas needing extra focus.Overall, this workbook is an excellent resource for parents looking to support their child’s maths learning at home. It’s practical, effective, and has made a noticeable difference in my child’s confidence with numbers.
