The Mental Arithmetic Introductory Book acts as a bridge from Key Stage 1, covering all four number operations, as well as, sequences and simple money problems. It includes:

  • 36 one-page tests, each presented in a unique three-part format comprising: questions using pictures to develop basic maths skills, questions using symbols and patterns, questions using simple and consistent language.
  • Achievement Charts to monitor progress as pupils work through the book.
  • Just Facts questions to provide additional practice of key maths facts.
