Very in-depth for the age group needed. I like the idea of glossary terms at the back if they don't understand. Would recommend.

About the KS2 Problem Solving Workbook 3 (Ages 7-11)

Here are our top reasons to buy the KS2 Problem Solving Workbook 3 (Ages 9-11):

  • Real-life maths problems on percentages, fractions, decimals and ratio, set in shops, games and sport
  • Matched to the KS2 National Curriculum for Years 5 and 6 (ages 9-11)
  • Geometry work on rotation of shapes, lines of symmetry and tessellation
  • Time problems and graded activities that ask a little more as your child works through
  • Full answers included, so your child can check their own work

Your Year 5 or Year 6 child works out sale prices at a computer fair, and the maths from class suddenly has a point.

Children calculate discounted prices for computer items and compare total bills to find the largest one

This problem solving workbook takes the maths your child does in class and puts it into everyday situations, so fractions, decimals and ratio have a purpose. The same content sits behind the KS2 SATs. A Year 7 child who never settled with percentages can rebuild that ground here.

Children calculate averages from medal scores, add equipment costs, and compare times to find differences

In this printed workbook, each page sets one situation and a small set of questions. One page runs a computer fair, where your child works out sale prices and compares the total bills. Another uses Olympic medal counts to practise averages and totals. Answers are included, so marking a page takes a couple of minutes.

The activities are graded, starting gently and asking more as your child goes on. Book 3 is the level written for Years 5 and 6, covering rotation of shapes, lines of symmetry, tessellation and time problems. A confident Year 4 child will find plenty to work on here.
