Overview
Maths Made Easy: Get Confident at Adding and Subtracting is a curriculum-linked practice workbook from bestselling author Matthew Syed, creator of You Are Awesome. Designed for just 10 minutes of daily practice, it builds children's confidence with addition and subtraction through short, achievable exercises. Perfect for Key Stage 2 pupils, it blends solid maths skills with Matthew's signature growth-mindset message, helping children see mistakes as part of learning rather than something to fear, while steadily improving their fluency at home or school.

About the Book
This engaging workbook forms part of the popular You Are Awesome series, extending Matthew Syed's inspiring philosophy of practice and resilience into the classroom subject many children find most daunting: maths. Rather than simply drilling sums, the book weaves together short bursts of curriculum-relevant addition and subtraction exercises with encouraging messages about growth mindset, effort and self-belief. Each page is designed to take around 10 minutes, making it easy for busy families to build a consistent daily habit without overwhelming young learners. The exercises progress gradually in difficulty, reinforcing core number skills while celebrating small wins along the way. Supported by education specialists, the content is aligned to the National Curriculum for Key Stage 2, making it a useful supplementary resource alongside school learning or for extra practice during holidays. Bright, friendly illustrations and an encouraging tone keep children motivated, while parents and teachers will appreciate the clear structure that makes tracking progress simple. It's an ideal choice for children who lack confidence in maths, offering bite-sized wins that build towards real fluency and a more positive relationship with numbers over time.
