Very pleased with the product and service. My only concern is that as an overseas purchaser, I had to pay separately an additional amount for shipping. This may have been my processing error, but I don't recall a clear option at the time of placing my order.

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

Mental Arithmetic Book 5 (Ages 7-11) gives Year 3 to Year 6 pupils the focused, systematic practice they need to master quick mental maths and tackle every Key Stage 2 test with confidence. Whether your child is preparing for SATs or the 11+, this workbook delivers 36 carefully structured tests that build fluency across number, geometry, statistics, ratio and proportion, and algebra—all mapped to the National Curriculum and designed to slot straight into homework or revision time.

The detailed contents page outlines all 36 tests across three progressive sections, plus check-up tests for number, measurement and geometry

Each one-page test is split into three short parts: questions with minimal wording, questions using number vocabulary, and one- or two-step word problems. That three-part format keeps sessions short—ideal for busy evenings—and helps children tackle maths in different contexts, from pure calculation to real-life scenarios. Progress tests after each section and dedicated check-up tests let you spot gaps early and revisit tricky topics before exam day. Answers are available in the answer booklet (sold separately), so you can mark work quickly and move on to the next challenge without second-guessing.

Because the series is organised by ability rather than age, your child works at the right level and builds genuine confidence. Regular short tests mean less overwhelm and more wins, while the clear progression from basic arithmetic through to algebra ensures that every skill needed for upper Key Stage 2 is covered. The result is a pupil who walks into the exam hall ready to think on their feet and answer with speed and accuracy.

Mental Arithmetic Book 5 suits any child in Years 3 to 6 who needs to sharpen mental maths for school tests, SATs or selective exams. Published by Schofield and Sims, it offers trusted, no-fuss practice that fits around your family routine—and ships fast across the UK so you can start straight away.

  • 36 one-page tests covering number, measurement, geometry, statistics, ratio and proportion, and algebra
  • Three-part question format in every test: minimal-language questions, number vocabulary, and word problems
  • Progress tests and check-up tests to monitor learning and identify gaps
  • Structured by ability for confident, independent practice across Years 3–6
  • Answers available in the separate answer booklet for quick, accurate marking
