    Hi,
    Mr7 is looking for more maths (wants to get into algebra) and I was looking into the Life of Fred series which I've read about here.

    Is that the best choice for doing at home after school and homework? (he's an avid reader so thought they might suit)

    Any other suggestions?

    thank-you

    We use the LOF series. My DS6 loves them! One thing to note. The author is in the process of putting out a new book that fits between Decimals and Algebra. Sort of a Pre-Algebra book. When I spoke to him, he told me that it was targeted for release in September.
