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 6 Answers (ISBN 9780721708102), 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 6 extends beyond the Key Stage 2 curriculum,consolidating key subject areas

alongside more advanced concepts such as profit and loss, using spreadsheets and conducting mathematical investigations. The book includes:

• 36 one-page tests, each presented in a unique three-part format comprising: questions on number, calculation and algebra, questions on money, measurement, geometry and approximations, longer problem-solving questions.
• Achievement Charts to encourage pupils to monitor their own learning.
• Revision Tests to identify gaps in understanding.
