About the Mental Arithmetic Book 5 (Ages 7-11)

Here are our top reasons to buy the Mental Arithmetic Book 5 (Ages 7-11):

  • 36 one-page tests covering number, measurement, geometry, statistics, ratio and proportion and algebra
  • Every test has three parts: short calculations, number vocabulary questions, then one- and two-step word problems
  • Check-up tests and progress tests show you what has stuck and what needs another look
  • Matched to the National Curriculum for primary maths, for Years 3 to 6 (ages 7-11)
  • Book 5 of a series graded by ability, with the separate answer book available too

If your Year 5 or Year 6 child hesitates over mental maths, these 36 tests give them the daily practice that builds speed.

A check-up test covering fractions, percentages, ratios, angles and polygons, with space to write answers
A check-up test on number and geometry, with calculations, tables and angle problems to solve.

Mental Arithmetic Book 5 gives your child the sort of quick maths they meet in class every week, from number and measurement through to algebra. This is also the content the KS2 SATs and the 11+ ask about at this stage. A Year 7 child who never got fluent with mental methods can work through it to rebuild the basics.

A mixed maths test covering calculations, conversions, percentages and geometry, with space to write answers

Each of the 36 tests fills one page of this printed workbook, so a session is short. Your child starts with plain calculations, moves on to questions using number vocabulary, then finishes with word problems. Check-up tests and progress tests come at intervals, and the answer book is sold separately.

The series is graded by ability rather than age, so Book 5 suits upper Key Stage 2 work. Two entry tests, in the Teacher's Guide and on the publisher's website, show you whether to start here or later in the run.
