Mental Arithmetic 4

Ok

Good review of maths exam

Lots and lots of sums, word problems and conversion questions. Keeps the kids engaged and supplements school study. Also has self-tracker/performance tracker if you wish to keep track of your kid's progress. Good to build mathematics foundation for kids

Mental arithmetic book 4 (Schofield & Sims) A friend recommended this book for maths practice for 11+. Great book to test knowledge - comes with a separate book with brief answers. Most important to go over the incorrect answers before moving on to the next test - as going over mistakes with your child & filling in gaps is crucial for 11+. Aimed at Year -4 kids. Book 5 for Year- 5 kids.

Good mentsl maths for my 10yrs old, will recommend

I bought this for my child who is in Year 5, and it’s been an excellent addition to their learning. The layout is very clear, and the questions increase in difficulty at a steady pace, so children aren’t overwhelmed. It covers a wide range of number, calculation and reasoning skills, all designed to get them thinking without a calculator. What I particularly like is the short, daily-style exercises. They’re not too long, which makes it easy to fit into busy routines, but they’re just challenging enough to stretch thinking. The answers at the back are helpful for parents too, especially if you’re not always sure whether the working-out is correct. My child has really gained confidence since using this book. It works brilliantly as extra practice for school topics, and it’s also useful in the run-up to assessments. Overall, this is a well-structured, no-nonsense maths practice book that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for Year 5 pupils or anyone needing to sharpen mental arithmetic skills.
