The Maths at Work series examines how people around the world use common basic maths skills in their jobs. Each book focuses on a different workplace likely to appeal to young readers, and chapters are broken down by maths skill, with headings such as "Counting", "Measuring", "Shapes", and "Sizes". The final page of each chapter ends with a relevant maths teaser question for the reader, so they can put their own maths skills into practice.
