New Wave Mental Maths is brilliant - it offers a wide variety of material in concise format. We use it a lot for homework. It gives the children a chance to practice topics we have moved on from and at the same time, gives teachers an indication of where a review might be needed. The mix of topics means that all children have a chance to succeed.

Excellent workbook with daily practice to reinforce Maths concepts. Pupils encounter a variety of questions to help them revise key concepts. Daily tests are quick and very worthwhile do with a class or learning support group. Children grow in confidence as the weeks progress as similar questions are repeated but also more challenging as the year progresses. We use the programme in all classes from 1st to 6th.

We use mental maths every morning first thing in our class. It is fantastic for allowing constant revision of previous topics and also touches on new areas before the children cover them in their workbook. Have seen a definite improvement in their mental maths skills. Highly recommend this book.
