Following the bestselling Write Like a Ninja, this must-have pocketbook is full of key concepts, mathematical vocabulary and practical advice to support every Key Stage 2 child with their maths at home or in the classroom. Fully matched to the National Curriculum, Maths Like a Ninja empowers children to find the help they need quickly and independently.

--_'Another brilliant book that's jam-packed with top-class tips you won't want to miss.' - MC Grammar, teacher and parent ‘Here is basically ‘the bible’ for parents (like me!) with kids in junior school – it’s everything a parent needs to know and understand in the curriculum from fractions basics to calculating the volume of a cuboid and everything in between…’ – Sara Davies MBE, Founder of Crafter's Companion and Dragon on BBC Dragons’ Den--_ When your child comes home with the dreaded maths homework and you don’t know your BIDMAS from your BODMAS, then Maths Like a Ninja is the book for you. It’s jam-packed full of all the key concepts children need to know, all the mathematical terminology they’ll ever come across in primary school and tons of easy-to-follow visual examples on every area of maths featured in the Key Stage 2 curriculum. Whether a child is stuck on a fractions question or struggling to remember what composite numbers are, they’ll find the answer in this handy all-in-one reference guide. It supports teachers in planning and delivering lessons and shows parents how help their kids at home. Written by a practising teacher and creator of the successful Vocabulary Ninja brand, this book is worth its weight in gold. It empowers children to become independent (in school and at home) by providing them with all the information they need in one place. Neat, affordable and child-friendly, Maths Like a Ninja is game changing. Perfect for Key Stage 2 children, aged 7 and up. Maths Like a Ninja was a finalist in the Maths category at the Teach Primary Awards 2023.

I think every classroom and every home needs copies of this book! As a year 6 teacher, it can be impossible to fit everything in as well as revise old topics, so this is going to be the perfect tool to help my kids become more independent. And it's the perfect for supporting parents with their children’s maths! From basic skills to more complex, there’s something for everyone. -- Stephanie Elliott * Year 6 Teacher, @eenalol *
Maths Like a Ninja is a hugely valuable resource, either in school or at home! It will encourage children to work independently by having a helpful how-to guide to refer to if they get stuck. Just like Write Like a Ninja, this amazing maths book has step-by-step guides on how to become confident in every area of maths. Perfect for the classroom, or even parents working at home with their children! -- Sarah Farrell * Maths Lead, @SarahFarrellKS2 *
Here is basically ‘the bible’ for parents (like me!) with kids in junior school - it’s everything a parent needs to know and understand in the curriculum from fractions basics to calculating the volume of a cuboid and everything in between to help and support on a Sunday night when you get the dreaded homework book out! So if (like me) your algebra needed a bit of a brush up, or you can’t remember the difference between a superlative and a conjunction - then trust me you need to get these books! You can pick them up on Amazon - they’re only a couple of quid each - and take it from someone who has experienced it first hand - they are GAME CHANGING! -- Sara Davies, Founder of Crafter's Companion and Dragon on BBC Dragons’ Den * Instagram *
This book has so many uses. It empowers children to have independence and take ownership of their own learning (in school and at home) by providing them with all the information they need in one place. It is a great guide for parents to understand what their children are learning in maths to be able to help with their learning at home. What a fantastic, affordable resource for schools and parents alike! -- Jane Clapp * Year 5 teacher *
For children (and parents!) who struggle to remember the methods of calculation taught in school, this book is a very handy reminder. A great aide-memoire for the KS2 syllabus, Maths Like A Ninja will support children with homework and the revision of key concepts. -- Kate McCallam * Educational consultant and writer *
Another invaluable resource from the Ninja, with everything you need for every Maths topic in one place! It's the PERFECT succinct resource which I'll be using in class and to support home learning. There are pages which can be sent home to allow parents to understand methods used in class with step-by-step, simple and clear explanations. -- Maaria Khan * Teacher and Deputy Head, @MissKhan__ *
The Ninja’s back with another brilliant book that’s jam-packed with top-class tips you won’t want to miss. Is there anything he can’t do?! Oh, and it’s great for parents and guardians too. Thank you, dude! -- Jacob Mitchell aka MC Grammar, award-winning teacher and parent
A useful book for KS2 children who need reminding of the maths they need for SATs and beyond, and for teachers and parents too. * The School Librarian *
A treasure trove for both teachers and pupils alike... Whether used in the classroom or at home, these books empower children to become confident, independent learners and unleash their full potential. * Preneur World Magazine, on the Like a Ninja series *
Jennings’ clear explanations and visual examples make complex topics accessible, while his passion for teaching shines through on every page. * Preneur World Magazine *
