Maths resources | Arithmetic First Mental Arithmetic Pupil Books Ann Montague-Smith First Mental Arithmetic provides carefully graded questions that develop children’s basic maths skills and prepare them for all aspects of the Key Stage 1 national tests. A downwards extension of Mental Arithmetic, the series comprises six pupil books, six answer books and a teacher’s guide, as well as a range of free downloads available from the Schofield & Sims website. Each First Mental Arithmetic book features two or three sections divided into separate work sessions. Each session contains questions arranged in three parts, as follows: • P art A – questions using pictures or simplified language • P art B – questions using relevant mathematical vocabulary and symbols • P art C – word problems or questions that test understanding of mathematical concepts. Throughout the series, additional Check-up tests or Just facts activities assess children’s understanding of particular mathematical areas, while a Language of maths glossary helps to develop their number vocabulary.
