J W Adams, R P Beaumont, E Spavin and L Spavin (edited by T R Goddard) 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. The series comprises seven pupil books, seven answer books and a teacher’s guide, as well as a range of free downloads, including Achievement award certificates, Maths facts sheets and a National Curriculum chart, available from the Schofield & Sims website. Each Mental Arithmetic book is divided into three sections, containing 12 one-page tests – one for each week of the term. Each test is presented in a unique three-part format (see pointers below) that features carefully structured arithmetic, number vocabulary and mathematical reasoning questions. Throughout the series, additional 10-minute Progress tests and topic-based Check-up tests highlight any gaps in understanding, while a Language of maths glossary helps to develop pupils’ knowledge of key mathematical vocabulary. See pages 54–55 for First Mental Arithmetic. Part C features one- and two-step word problems.
