Maths is everywhere, even in Chinese storytime!

数学好好玩 Fun with Maths is part of Marshall Cavendish Education's Learning Chinese With Fun programme. The stories fold mathematical ideas into everyday situations, so abstract concepts become concrete and children build their language and maths together as they read.

Across the series the books cover quantity, shapes, classification and matching — always through settings children already recognise, which makes the ideas easy to grasp and easy to talk about.

Each book ends with a reading guide giving page-by-page pointers, so you can lead the reading even if your own Chinese is rusty.

This set is for 4 year olds — the 幼儿班 (Toddler) level. 3 titles:

• 乐于助人的熊先生 (Helpful Mr Bear)
• 捉迷藏 (Hide and Seek)
• 最爱星期五 (I Love Fridays)

Also available for 3 year olds and below, 5 year olds and 6 year olds.
