My son is currently 4-years-old and in Reception. He absolutely loves school. I got him this book which is aimed at his age group so that he could continue school at home.
Inside are a number of activities to keep him busy, albeit he needs an adult to read the written instructions, and a dice and some counters for a couple of the tasks too. Tasks include colouring, drawing, writing numbers and so on, all designed to improve his adding and subtracting skills. All the pages are black and white (with a bit of red too) so that pages can be written all over. This also allows for the possibility of doing an extra activity at the end - colouring in the pictures that accompanied the exercises.
There aren't any reward stickers for completion of pages like other similar books sometimes have. Stickers act as a nice motivation tool, but my son got on with the most of tasks in hand anyway without these, although stickers would have been good to help persuade him to do the things he liked less.
All the stuff in here is at his age group with some of it having been covered already in his school and some of it not covered yet (halving and doubling for example). Also the book has plenty of variety too so it didn't make him bored.
The book is cheap and my son liked it. These books are ideal for him.
