You've asked how it's going at school and heard that it's going fine. You've looked at the homework and found it done. Neither of those tells you what your child can do on their own.
The Mathepotamia Questbook: The Gateway of Wonders helps you see your primary school child's real math level. School can't always reflect every child's individual strengths and struggles, so small gaps build up quietly. It reveals what comes easy, what feels difficult, and how your child approaches challenges — while they enjoy a playful math adventure.
What if you could just watch your child work for an afternoon — and know?
What Parents and Teachers Say About the Mathepotamia Workbooks
Every book in the Mathepotamia family is built the same way, Questbook included — similar missions, the same self-check, similar drawing quests. Here's what parents and teachers say about them on Amazon.
“Wow, absolutely fantastic workbooks. Some of the best I have ever seen. I use them with my students.”
“Very well structured. Kids enjoy it.”
Parent · Verified purchase · Amazon.de review · 9 September 2025 · Translated from German “Great book for practicing mental arithmetic. My 5 year old has shown much improvement in his mental arithmetic and loves getting enough done to do the drawing challenges. […] Would highly recommend.”
Parent · Verified purchase · Amazon.co.uk review · 21 October 2025 “A fantastic workbook. We started with No. 1 in first grade and also bought the game, which is also great for practicing and absolutely worth recommending. We're now working through Volume No. 2, and plan to buy the further volumes for practice over the coming years, because our daughter really likes how the workbooks are put together.”

Part of the Mathepotamia World
The Questbook is your first step into the Mathepotamia world. It follows the same story-driven learning approach as our Mathepotamia Math Adventures 4-book series, combining missions, self-checking tasks, and playful rewards that help children learn with confidence.
The Questbook also perfectly complements the Mathepotamia board game — part of the same Mathepotamia world already used in 5,000+ households, classrooms, and therapy practices.
In 2025, the Mathepotamia board game was included in the neuropsychological game guide of the Eastern Swiss Children's Hospital St. Gallen.
Both the workbooks and the board game are endorsed by parents and educators, so you can feel confident your child is in good hands.

Observe what they found challenging and where they succeeded
Inside the Questbook
The Questbook is an introduction to bigger adventures. Each of its four missions corresponds to one of the full 8-mission workbooks in the Mathepotamia Math Adventures series (Levels 1 to 4) — from basic arithmetic within 20 to advanced arithmetic up to 1000 and the order of operations. Every mission is also aligned with a difficulty level of the Mathepotamia board game, so you will know which workbook is most appropriate for your child and where they can confidently start in the game.
You'll discover:
- Your child's current math level
- How they tackle challenges
- How much they get through without you sitting next to them
“I'll guide your child through four magical missions. They will think it is a game; you will see exactly where they stand.”
Missions With a Storyline
Your child travels through four story-led missions that sample key skills at increasing difficulty, with 1,200+ tasks across the Questbook. At the start of each mission, your child chooses how many days they want to finish it in.
- Story keeps motivation high
- Difficulty steps up naturally from Mission 1 to Mission 4 and within a mission
- Easy to see if they kept to their plan
“[…] our daughter really likes how the workbooks are put together.”
How Each Mission Works
Every mission follows a predictable structure that helps you understand your child's math level and learning habits:
Practice skills: short, targeted tasks that sample the essentials for that mission's level. No timers. No test language.
“Great book for practicing mental arithmetic.”
Parent · Verified purchase · Amazon.co.uk review of Math Adventures Workbook 1 Self-check: a built-in system lets your child check answers independently. You observe accuracy and focus without needing to correct.
Drawing quests: a code turns into a picture. They train attention, memory, and focus, while giving children a chance to pause, recharge, and celebrate progress.
“[…] loves getting enough done to do the drawing challenges.”

Celebrate Success
Once you know your child's current math level, celebrate their effort with the Certificate of Mathematical Exploration. It is awarded for exploring, not for finishing — however far your child gets, there is something to put on the fridge at the end of it.
The Risks of Not Knowing Your Child's Math Level
- Confidence erodes when work feels too hard and children cannot keep up
- Boredom takes over when work feels too easy and children are not challenged
- Gaps multiply because math builds on itself, so small problems become big obstacles
- Confidence in other subjects suffers because math is a core skill that shapes how children see themselves as learners
Results You Can Expect
Before the Questbook, you were supporting a child whose difficulty you had to guess at. With the Questbook, you finally see where math feels challenging and where your child succeeds. This clarity turns into practical changes at home:
- You know exactly which skills need support and which are secure
- You see which of the four workbooks to start with
- You understand how they approach challenges and problem-solving
- You discover how independently they can learn
- You can guide them with confidence instead of guesswork
- And you have an answer when your child asks whether they are any good at math
Good to Know
How much do I need to print?
Each mission is 9 task pages plus one drawing quest — printed double-sided, that's 5 sheets per mission. There are four missions, plus the certificate at the end.
Do I need a color printer?
Color looks best, but the task pages are designed to use little ink and print fine in black and white. We do suggest printing the certificate in color — it's the one going on the fridge.
How long will my child need?
That depends on where they stand — which is the point. Don't expect them to finish the whole Questbook: it's a map of what your child can do, not a race to the last page. Older children can start at a later mission; you decide. And most children speed through the task pages to reach a mission's secret drawing quest.
What happens with my email address?
