The series of workbooks "Unusual Mathematics" for preschoolers appeared several years ago. Very soon these workbooks became popular with children, parents and teachers.
We decided to continue this series of notebooks and make a series of notebooks "Mousematics" for primary school students. We tried to make these notebooks not too complicated, without the most tricky Olympiad problems, but at the same time varied and interesting.
In the notebook for children aged 7, you will find quite a lot of visual arithmetic tasks that are not similar to school ones. We often give arithmetic problems first with visual material, for example, how many beads were hidden or how many sticks are missing in the picture. We teach children to correlate tens and units, combining tens into full trucks, and units into incomplete ones. However, it would be strange to reduce all mathematics to arithmetic problems. In our notebook, you will find logical problems and geometric puzzles, as well as problems with several correct solutions.
We have included tasks in this notebook that have almost no text. Sometimes it is the slow reading speed or weak text comprehension skills that prevent children from successfully solving math problems. That is why we tried to formulate the tasks briefly and provide them with examples. In addition, we have made several tasks in which you need to match the text of the problem and the diagram for this problem. We offer a series of gradually more complex logical tasks about block diagrams and towers built by a robot builder, as well as a series of simple tasks with funny monsters - on the ability to use tables. (Adults may think that this is very easy. However, experience shows that children are not born with a ready-made ability to extract information from tables.) We have prepared a variety of tasks for spatial thinking - here are familiar from previous notebooks tasks with arrows - about a bird in a cage, and tasks about a mouse that goes to visit, and words that need to be read while moving in a labyrinth of letters.
In this notebook you will find a variety of tasks on coordinates, puzzles with chocolates that need to be divided into twins (into 2 parts, identical in shape and number of cells), as well as several tasks about scale. Simple tasks on symmetry gradually give way to more tricky problems about butterflies and pairs of mittens. And in our notebook you will also find encryptions, anagrams and rebuses, magic squares and sequences in pictures.
We hope that each child will be able to find math problems in this notebook that will make them happy.
If you want to play arithmetic games with your children, we recommend the notebooks "Mathematics in the First Grade: Dice in the Classroom" and "Counting, Playing". You can find complex Olympiad problems in our Olympiad series: "Mathematics Plus", "Dino Mathematics", "Drakosha Mathematics", "Zavriki Mathematics", "Panda. Playing Mathematics". Word games in the notebooks "Learning to Read. Playing with Letters" and "Word Forms".
