Reviews for Awesome Games and Activities for Kids with Numeracy Difficulties: How to Feel Smart and In Control about Doing Mathematics with a Neurodiverse Brain

Judy has a genius for helping struggling learners enjoy numbers. -- Professor Brian Butterworth, author of Dyscalculia: From science to education. This is a cleverly organised, clearly presented collection of games and activities which will help build an understanding of maths in learners. It's a great example of, 'If you ask the right questions, then children learn.' -- Dr. Steve Chinn, Visiting Professor, University of Derby Sweaty palms? Racing heart? A lump in the back of your throat? As a maths teacher, I know that maths anxiety can prevent people, young and old, from accessing this beautiful subject. Judy draws upon her vast and rich experience in education to create this book that all teachers and parents should have. This engaging, fun and playful book has gathered together a wonderful collection of maths activities and curiosities that will engage maths fans but equally importantly, inspire those that need a little encouragement too! -- Bobby Seagull, school maths teacher, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Numbers and BBC presenter for the Monkman & Seagull Genius Guides
