Books with author Laurie Barton

Sums for Smart Kids gives parents with mathematically gifted children the opportunity to provide them with challenges to really engage with and extend their mathematical thinking even further. A fantastic book of illustrated problems and solutions, this book is suitable for independent use at home and requires no "expert" knowledge, just a good understanding of basic elementary mathematical facts. Some of the problems are elegant, others are fiendish and many require lateral thinking, but all of them will stretch children's' powers of reasoning and logic. 25 problems cover number, shape and logic; develops a range of visualising and thinking skills. Illustrated.
