John Carty wrote this book to get parents involved in their child's mathematics education, especially that aspect involving
word problems. It goes from age 10 to year 10, so you don't need any Calculus to do any of the questions. A sound grasp
of Algebra would help in many cases.
There are 777 questions across 7 categories (chapters) and John's ideal was a child could start doing 3 or 4 questions a
week, and this way could be aged 16 before you get through all 777 successfully.
All answers are provided.
Hints for problem solving are detailed in the forward, but are in no way exhaustive. In learning there is nothing wrong with
repetition and to go through some chapters 2 or 3 times, would enhance maths problem-solving skills in many students.
In some cases, there are what maths educators call 'elegant solutions' but in in others, a parent may come up with a different
pathway to the correct answer.
John has been involved in using mathematics and in mathematics education all his life and feels bringing in the
parents is a possible strategy to increasing the capacity of a child's mathematical toolkit.
