About the 10 Minutes A Day Problem Solving (Ages 9-11)

Here are our top reasons to buy the 10 Minutes A Day Problem Solving (Ages 9-11):

  • Daily maths practice in 10 minutes a day, written by Carol Vorderman
  • Covers fractions, ratio and proportion and problem solving for Years 5 and 6
  • Matched to the National Curriculum for ages 9-11
  • Pages of word problems with answer boxes, plus games and quick tests
  • Parents' notes at the back give the full answers and explain common pitfalls

Ten minutes at a time, this workbook gives your Year 5 or Year 6 child the problem solving practice that class maths keeps asking for.

Eight word problems on fractions, decimals and percentages, with boxes for answers and a time-filler activity
Eight word problems on fractions, decimals and percentages, with boxes for answers and a time-filler activity.

Word problems are where school maths gets tricky, and this problem solving workbook takes them one short session at a time. The topics follow the National Curriculum for ages 9-11, so the fractions and ratio work matches what your child meets in lessons. A confident Year 4 child can use it to get ahead.

Eight ratio word problems involving model ships, car parks, and gardening, with boxes for answers
Children solve eight ratio word problems, including a gardening scene, and write answers in boxes.

Each page sets eight word problems with boxes for the answers, as the sample pages show, plus a quick time-filler task at the end. Your child works through one page a day in this printed workbook. The parents' notes at the back hold the answers.

Eight word problems on calculating the area of rectangles, with boxes for answers and a real-life time-filler task

Games and short tests break up the practice, so ten minutes rarely feels like a chore. When an answer goes wrong, the notes point out the mistake children usually make and how to avoid it next time. That gives you something useful to say without teaching the method yourself.
