About the Mental Arithmetic Book 1 (Ages 7-11)
Mental Arithmetic Book 1 by Schofield and Sims gives children aged 7–11 the daily maths practice they need to build speed, accuracy and confidence across the Key Stage 2 curriculum. Designed for pupils in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, this workbook delivers 36 carefully structured tests covering number, fractions, times tables, telling the time, geometry and statistics—perfect for SATs preparation, 11+ practice, or filling gaps after a wobbly year.
Each one-page test is split into three sections: quick calculations with minimal language, questions using number vocabulary, and one- or two-step word problems that mirror the style of national assessments. Progress Tests appear at regular intervals so you can monitor learning as your child works through the book, and Check-up Tests identify any areas that need a second look. The three-part format keeps sessions short and focused, making it easy to slot mental maths into busy evenings or weekends without overwhelming anyone.
Because the series is structured by ability rather than age, your child can work at a comfortable pace, building fluency without racing ahead or feeling left behind. Schofield and Sims offer free supporting downloads and online answers on their website, and a separate answer booklet is available if you want correct responses to hand for quick, confident marking. This approach turns mental arithmetic from a guessing game into a calm, measurable routine that delivers real progress.
Mental Arithmetic Book 1 suits any pupil starting their Key Stage 2 maths journey or revising core skills before the next stage. The clear layout, consistent format and incremental difficulty mean children know exactly what to expect on every page, and parents can mark work quickly without wading through explanations. It is also a trusted tool for tutors preparing pupils for independent-school entrance exams or supporting older students who need to consolidate earlier material.
