The Maths Adventurers Build a Friendship: Discover Shapes

Beep and Boots are two friendly robots who learn about time and discover that maths is everywhere they look. They receive a parcel containing circles, squares, triangles, and pentagons to make their own robot cat, but they realize that they can't make a pet pal from flat, two-dimensional shapes. With a flash of magic, the shapes become three-dimensional spheres, cubes, and pyramids. This fun and educational maths book for children features lively illustrations and rhyming text that brings the characters and maths topics to life. It also includes key maths topics such as shapes, time, measurements, division, and fractions, all essential learning for this age group. The illustrations are in a non-gendered colour palette, making the traditionally male subject relatable for all genders. The relatable storyline encourages young readers to look for maths in their homes and environments, and seeing how they use maths everyday.
