Fun Math For Kids – Good Foundations
FREE SHIPPING within NZ
Mazmatics is a fun maths activity and storybook for kids, made by a NZ dad for kids aged 7–10+ (and curious learners of any age). It's designed to sit alongside school — giving kids more chances to practise maths, in a way that actually feels like play.
What's inside
- Maths puzzles and activities covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions
- An illustrated story that puts maths into real-world, kid-friendly context
- Dot-to-dot multiplication grids
- Foldable dice for maths games you can play at home
- Plenty of space to draw, colour, and make the book your own
- Encouragement and humour throughout (yes, including a dog poop exercise)
Who it's for
Kids aged 7–10+ — roughly NZ Year 3–6, though the book works well for a wider range depending on the child. It's not a replacement for school learning: it gives kids more time with maths, in a relaxed, at-home setting. For home play, not homework.

What customers say
"When I picked this up I was immediately drawn to the colloquial language and easy to follow format. It's written the way people speak so it's super easy to relate to. It uses real world examples that are relevant and entertaining. This makes maths fun! Breath of fresh air. Thank you."

"This book is excellent, starting out with kids jokes to gently and hilariously introduce simple maths. The illustrated story contextualises maths in a way that kids can relate to. The maths gets more complex relatively quickly but keeps up the same non-pressured conversational style, using drawings to clearly break down the principles. Great book, would highly recommend."

"Awesome little practice book. It's full of stories and drawings. There's room to scribble or draw and even some dice you can fold and cut out for maths games. Explains the exercises well and gives good tips on how to think about and solve the problems. Written in a really fun kid-friendly way — even has some encouragement along the way! Really recommend."
— Paulina
"Mazmatics definitely does what it says it will do! I got my nieces and nephews all a Mazmatics book for Christmas and they all loved it! Perfect for ages 6+, and adults will enjoy it too. The hot favourite was the dog poop exercise. This is a brilliant resource — it makes maths fun for them, which is the best way for little brains to learn!"

Why we made it this way
We believe that if kids enjoy maths early, they're set up for a lifetime of confidence with it — not just better test scores. Mazmatics is built around fun, inclusion, growth mindset, and good foundations.
The book covers addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with some fractions included. It's pitched at NZ Year 3–6 but works well for a wider range of ages and abilities.
We've left plenty of space on each page — kids need room to breathe between the challenging bits. And we've deliberately left out an answers page. We think a little struggle is where real learning happens. (We do hint strongly sometimes though.)
The pages are black and white, and the book isn't precious. Draw in it. Colour it in. Rip a page out and stick it on your wall. Make it yours.
Mazmatics: for home play, not homework.
About Maz
Hi, I'm Maz Hermon — a web developer and dad of two kids living in Aotearoa New Zealand. I'm not a teacher, but I love maths and I love learning. I wrote this book with my kids because I wanted a fun, paper-based resource they could use away from screens — something that makes practising maths feel like a choice, not a chore. My vision is simple: help kids say "I like maths."
