Stories for Maths

Maths success through the power of story.

About Stories for Maths

Stories for Maths is a collection of read-aloud and independent, character-driven picture books for Reception (P1), Year 1 (P2), and Year 2 (P3), crafted to teach key maths concepts through the power of storytelling.

Aligned to the White Rose Maths schemes, Stories for Maths is the only series designed specifically to boost knowledge, oracy, vocabulary, and motivation in maths through the ‘safe space’ of a story.

We’re always looking for different ways to teach maths and these are creative and fun.
