Reading

The reading series of pages is devoted to various reading materials – many of which are free!

A post for students is on Mathematics for students; note this book is currently free on Kindle:

GMAT Foundations of Math – 900+ Practice problems (see also GMAT Math Practice).

For a limited edition bargain on Kindle, I see Thinking Better: The Art of the Shortcut from Marcus du Sautoy for 99p.

Looking at the Books (free) page, for puzzle fans perhaps try Henry Ernest Dudeney’s puzzle collection.

Looking at the free Kindle offerings, these include Mind Hurdles: Mystery Number – a set of ‘number mysteries’, one or more of which would make a good lesson starter and Henry Ernest Dudeney’s – Amusements in Mathematics a puzzle collection (with solutions). The first set of puzzles will offer a trip down memory lane for those who remember money – pre-decimal! There are several categories of puzzles available.

And do make sure you have Colin Foster’s KS3 books in your collection.
