Maths books featuring equations made up of guns, tanks and MISSILES found in Mosul classroom reportedly occupied by ISIS militants

ISIS school books featuring tanks and guns as symbols in maths equations claim to show one of the ways the terror group brainwashes its "cubs of the caliphate".

The disturbing educational tools have allegedly been seized from a school in the death cult's last stronghold of Mosul - where they are under attack from Iraqi, Kurdish, and Turkish forces.

The first-grade textbooks askl maths questions through images of weapons, with one equation requiring students to add together two guns and four bullets.

Other questions feature military helicopters and tanks in what would appear to be attempts to familiarise youngsters with the weapons of war.

The books were reportedly seized from an elementary school in the Al Muthana district of eastern Mosul.
