Mental Arithmetic 5 covers the key subject areas of number, measurement, geometry, statistics, ratio and proportion, and algebra. The book includes:

  • 36 one-page tests, each presented in a unique three-part format comprising: questions where use of language is kept to a minimum; questions using number vocabulary; questions focusing on one- and two-step word problems.
  • Progress Tests to monitor learning as pupils work through the book
  • Check-up Tests to identify any gaps in understanding.
