I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the KS1 Maths Year 1 Mental Arithmetic Targeted Question Book (incl. Online Answers & Audio Tests)

Give your Year 1 child the mental maths confidence they need with the KS1 Maths Year 1 Mental Arithmetic Targeted Question Book from CGP. Designed specifically for ages 5–6, this workbook tackles the core number skills pupils must master in their first year of Key Stage 1, ensuring they can recall facts quickly and work through problems without hesitation. Every exercise is tailored to the English National Curriculum, so you can be sure your child is practising exactly what they need for school assessments and building a solid foundation for the years ahead.

Sample page from Section One Test 1 showing varied mental arithmetic questions for Year 1
A typical test page with questions on counting, number bonds, shapes, and simple addition and subtraction

Inside you'll find a structured series of short tests that cover counting, number bonds to 10 and 20, addition, subtraction, doubling, halving, and time—all the mental arithmetic topics Year 1 pupils must know. Each test is bite-sized, making it easy to slot into a busy week, and the book includes access to online audio versions of every test, so your child can practise answering questions out loud, just as they would in a real classroom assessment. Full answers are provided online too, giving you instant clarity on every question and letting you mark work quickly and accurately. This combination of written practice and audio tests means your child experiences both formats, building genuine exam readiness alongside everyday confidence.

Regular, focused practice transforms hesitant guesses into quick, accurate answers, and this book delivers exactly that. Your child will move through the exercises at their own pace, gaining fluency in mental calculations and the ability to tackle new problems calmly. Because the workbook is a physical product, you'll receive it by post, ready to use the moment it arrives—no waiting for downloads or complicated logins. It's curriculum-aligned, trusted by thousands of UK families, and available now to support your Year 1 pupil's maths journey.

This workbook suits any Year 1 child learning mental arithmetic at home or alongside school lessons. It works equally well for daily practice, half-term revision, or targeted catch-up, and the inclusion of audio tests and online answers makes it straightforward for parents to support their child's progress without second-guessing. CGP's clear layout and step-by-step approach mean even the busiest families can fit high-quality maths practice into their routine, building skills that last well beyond Year 1.

  • Targeted mental arithmetic practice for Year 1 pupils (ages 5–6), covering all key topics in the English National Curriculum
  • Online audio tests included, allowing children to practise answering questions aloud as they would in class
  • Full answers provided online for quick, confident marking and clear explanations
