As a geek and not afraid to show it, I'm looking forward to this year's Summer Reading Challenge!

*Competition time*
reveals the hidden maths all around us! People use maths every single day in their jobs, sometimes without realising! From a football coach studying the stats to a chef making sure everyone’s food is ready at the same time, the jobs and occupations at the heart of this super-creative non-fiction read will inspire all children to seek out the everyday maths in the world around us. To celebrate the book, our friends at b small publishing have three copies up for grabs. To enter, just let us know who you would want to share this book with and why by 12pm on 11 April!

Who’s behind the book?
Author/Illustrator: Kim Hankinson is an author, designer and illustrator who was the creative lead for the bestselling This is Not a Maths Book. Jenny Jacoby writes, edits and manages book projects, with a particular focus on science and STEM for children.

What a great way to sneak some maths in... Weighing, measuring, timing, proportions.

Always played with Lego from a young age and wanted to be one of the lucky people who got to make the Lego structures you see in places.

Foundation and Kindy teachers: please consider using Lego. While the effects weren’t notable in primary, Playing more lego from ages 3-5 was linked with:
- better maths achievement in high school from year 9 up
- choosing higher maths subjects in senior and doing better at them
- choosing STEM careers post-school
Plus
- noticeable improvements on standardised testing from year 7 onwards.
You might not see an immediate benefit, but the longer term ones are awesome.
