Bedtime stories — and adventures for any time

Maths and logic stories for curious children

Numbers become a river to cross, patterns guide a train, and a bakery turns sharing into a question about parts and wholes. This collection brings counting and reasoning into a story rather than a worksheet. Begin with Number River for counting, Pattern Train for repeating sequences, or Fraction Bakery for sharing a whole.

Read the story

Invite your child to explain a guess before checking it. Fingers, drawings and objects are welcome; speed is not the goal. When an answer changes, ask which clue made the difference. The Memory Library and Mistake Workshop are useful starting points for talking about trying another approach, not simply getting an answer right.

Make a repeating pattern with large blocks or drawings, then leave one gap. Take turns filling the gap and explaining the rule. Try a second rule using the same shapes.
