Publisher's Synopsis
The Cockroft report on the teaching of mathematics in schools states that 'there has been a decrease in the use of Mental Maths in recent years and we believe that this trend should be reversed'. This mental maths scheme gives useful practice in applying basic mathematical skills. It includes the four rules, place value, the many topics which occur in the school year, and problem solving. To maintain interest, there are interspersed among the Task pages some attractive and appealing visual pages which provide mental stimulation. The scheme is suitable for 7 to 12 year olds and aims to improve their efficiency and confidence in mathematics.
