This book is one of a 9-book series, "Mathematics in Pictures" and it shows how a basic calculator can be used to improve mathematical understanding. It is aimed particularly at teachers and parents of children under 11 years.
As the title suggests, a key feature of the approach taken is for children to work with pictures in their learning of these mathematical topics. This creates a firm foundation of intuitive understanding that they will build on later when working more conventionally using mathematical symbols.
