It's an exciting day in Canopy City. Gus and his friends are taking part in a raft race. They are competing against a team from the other side of the river. Both teams are ready to go. One team takes a very early lead, but who will cross the finish line first?

Stories for Maths helps develop maths mastery through the power of story.

This series aligns with the White Rose Maths schemes of learning. Each book has questions at the bottom of the pages and an activity page at the end of the story, which help to draw out that learning by asking questions and encouraging talk about maths. Key maths words and phrases are also highlighted in each book, further helping to deepen understanding and grow children's mathematical skills.

The books in Reception/Primary 1 are designed for an adult to read to a child, although there is some decodable text that children may be able to read themselves.

This book aligns with White Rose Maths for Reception, Length, height and time, Step 1. Explore length and Step 3. Explore height.
