Synopsis:

Online answers as well as a selection of free supporting downloads are available from the Schofield & Sims website. A separate accompanying answer book, Mental Arithmetic 4 Answers (ISBN 9780721708089), contains correct answers to all the questions, making marking quick and easy.

Mental Arithmetic provides rich and varied practice to develop pupils' essential maths skills and prepare them for all aspects of the Key Stage 2 national tests. It may also be used as preparation for the 11+, and with older students for consolidation and recovery.

Structured according to ability rather than age, the series allows children to work at their own pace, building confidence and fluency. Two Entry Tests are available in the Mental Arithmetic Teacher's Guide to help teachers, parents and tutors to select the appropriate book for each child.

Mental Arithmetic 4 covers the key subject areas of number, measurement, geometry and statistics, including Roman numerals, square numbers, equivalent fractions, problem solving, reflection, translation and line graphs. 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.

Review: We have seen some excellent progress across Key Stage 2 using the Mental Arithmetic books. Staff commented that pupils have pupils have doubled their scores in mental maths tests and that their confidence in maths is improving. --Catherine Jubbs, Headteacher

I have been using these books in school for over a decade for maths homework. They make a real difference as they provide frequent practice and improve children's mental maths skills. --J Ciuputa, Headteacher
