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 KS3 Maths Catch-Up Workbook 1 (with Answers)

If your Year 7, 8 or 9 child is finding secondary school maths harder than expected, the KS3 Maths Catch-Up Workbook 1 (with Answers) offers a clear, structured path back to confidence. Published by CGP—the name UK parents trust—this 80-page workbook rebuilds the essential number skills that underpin every GCSE topic, from fractions and decimals to times tables and mental arithmetic. It's designed for pupils aged 11–14 who need to close gaps quickly, without fuss or overwhelm.

Each topic is broken into short, manageable exercises that interleave and space practice—a proven method for embedding maths into long-term memory. Concepts are explained in plain, two-colour layouts, then reinforced with carefully graded questions that grow in difficulty. Because full answers are included at the back, you can check progress immediately and pinpoint exactly where extra support is needed. Whether your child works independently after school or alongside you at weekends, every session builds fluency and problem-solving skills that will carry through to GCSE.

As your child works through the book, you'll notice sharper mental arithmetic, faster recall of times tables, and growing confidence tackling fractions and decimals. The workbook aligns with the English National Curriculum for Key Stage 3, so every skill practised feeds directly into classroom learning and prepares pupils for the step up to GCSE Maths. It's a physical workbook shipped to your door, ready to use the moment it arrives.

CGP's proven 'Catch-Up Maths' approach uses interleaved practice and spaced repetition to boost long-term retention

This workbook suits any Year 7–9 pupil who needs to strengthen core numeracy, whether they've fallen behind, missed lessons, or simply want to revise the fundamentals before moving on. It's equally effective for independent learners and parents guiding homework, and because answers are supplied, you'll both feel calmer and more in control.

  • Covers fractions, decimals, times tables, mental arithmetic and problem solving—the building blocks of KS3 and GCSE success
  • Interleaved exercises mix topics in one session, helping pupils choose the right method and remember skills longer
  • Full answers included so you can check work instantly and identify gaps without guesswork
  • Two-colour layout with bite-sized explanations makes every concept accessible for pupils aged 11–14
  • Created by CGP, the UK's most trusted educational publisher for over three decades
