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 Problem Solving & Reasoning Maths Activity Book for Ages 8-9 (Year 4)

If your Year 4 child finds multi-step maths trickier than straightforward sums, the Problem Solving & Reasoning Maths Activity Book for Ages 8-9 (Year 4) from CGP will give them the practice they need to tackle SATs-style questions with confidence. Designed for eight‑ and nine‑year‑olds following the English National Curriculum, this workbook builds the logical thinking and reasoning skills that KS2 tests demand, preparing your child to unpick wordy problems and explain their working clearly.

Sample page showing multi-step word problems with Roman numerals, distance tables, and penguin-themed illustrations — Inside pages feature engaging, real-world scenarios such as Roman numeral comparisons and distance calculations, with an extra challenge section to stretch confident learners.

Each activity presents carefully structured questions that mirror the problem-solving and reasoning papers your child will meet in Year 6 SATs. Colourful illustrations and friendly characters – from penguins planning routes to children training for triathlons – keep the tone light and approachable, while step‑by‑step prompts teach pupils how to extract information, choose operations and check their answers. Because the book focuses on applying knowledge rather than rote calculation, your child learns to think like a mathematician, building resilience for the tougher questions that can trip up even strong arithmetic students.

Sample page showing triathlon distance problem, price-list word problem, and mountain-height estimation challenge — Problems cover money, measurement, estimation and multi-step calculations, with self-assessment smiley faces to help children track their progress and confidence.

By the time your child completes this workbook, they will approach unfamiliar maths questions calmly, recognise which strategies to use, and articulate their reasoning – exactly the skills KS2 marking schemes reward. The book is a physical workbook shipped to your door, so your child can annotate, draw diagrams and revisit tricky pages whenever they need a confidence boost. It suits independent learners and those who benefit from short, focused practice sessions at home, fitting neatly alongside classroom teaching without overwhelming evening routines.

This CGP activity book is ideal for Year 4 pupils who need extra reasoning practice or want to get ahead before SATs revision begins in earnest. Its clear layout, curriculum-aligned content and graduated difficulty make it straightforward for parents to support learning, even if maths isn't your strongest subject. Because every question is rooted in real‑world contexts, your child will see why problem-solving matters beyond the test hall – and that confidence will carry them through primary school and beyond.

Engaging, illustrated scenarios – from wildlife films and canoeing trips to triathlon training – to make abstract concepts concrete
Extra challenge sections on each spread to stretch confident mathematicians and build exam resilience
