The world of beautiful mathematical diagrams has been explored by Pat Storey. From the fascinating variety of fractals, spirals and more, she has created a series of stunning quilts. The book contains patterns and detailed instructions for the making of fourteen small quilts; with diagrams and guidance for the construction of four styles of fullsize quilts, using the small quilts as blocks.

Following the pattern of her previous book, this second collection by Hilary McElderry offers new pictures to color and further opportunity and encouragement for children to learn and practise their multiplication tables. It is intended to act as an encouragement for children to learn their tables. On every page there are diagrams made up of small numbered areas. If that number will divide by the number being studied, then the area has to be colored or shaded. When all the target areas of a particular puzzle are colored, then the hidden picture is revealed. There are also other charts and hundred squares to color and the book is then rounded off with a target test to confirm the progress being made.
