About the KS1 Problem Solving Workbook 3 (Ages 5-7)
KS1 Problem Solving Workbook 3 helps Year 1 and Year 2 pupils (ages 5–7) apply maths to everyday situations with confidence. Published by Schofield and Sims, this progressive workbook turns abstract number work into relatable challenges—shopping trips, reading calendars, counting money, calculating change, and measuring with a ruler—so your child sees why maths matters and builds the problem-solving skills the English National Curriculum expects.
Each exercise introduces a clear, real-life context—odd and even numbers, right angles, converting pence to pounds—then asks pupils to choose the right operation and show their working. The structured layout guides children step by step, building fluency in addition and subtraction to 100, using a hundred square, and measuring length, while reinforcing mental arithmetic and place value. Because every question is rooted in a familiar scenario, your child learns to recognise which strategy to use when, rather than simply memorising rules.
By the end of the book, pupils move from tentative guesses to confident, independent problem solvers who can explain their reasoning. They will read data from charts, identify right angles, tackle word problems about time and money, and handle larger numbers—all skills that prepare them for Key Stage 2 and everyday numeracy. The workbook is a physical product delivered quickly across the UK, so you can start building those crucial reasoning habits straight away.
Ideal for parents who want a trusted, topic-by-topic resource that mirrors school teaching without the busywork. Whether you're supporting homework, filling knowledge gaps, or simply giving your child extra practice in a calm, structured way, this workbook delivers steady progress and the reassurance that every question has a purpose.
