Mental Arithmetic Book 1: KS2 Maths Practice, Year 3, Ages 7-8 (Arithmetic, Number Vocabulary and Problem Solving)

Very good book to help your child good knowledge of Maths.

Well researched book and it really improved my child's arithmetics performance.

I've been buying these books for years now, Scofield simply has the best content ever. Tests are in 3 sections, which helps my son to focus more. Very high quality questions.

Very good for generalising and practicing maths

I bought this to help my son improve his mental arithmetic. It starts out fairly easily and gradually gets harder. We have only tried one page so far but my son enjoyed filling it in. It has mixed problems on each page in the form of a test per page. After 10 tests there is a progress test. With 3 sections and 4 progress tests throughout the book. There is alot if content for the money so good value.

Very good and interesting.

I use this series as part of our maths curriculum with my home-educated son. The book is very clear and easy to use. There is plenty of work for him to do so he doesn't use the book up too quickly. I also find some maths books suddenly jump levels and get a lot harder, whereas this series is very good at getting progressively slightly harder so that students progress slowly and steadily. Each page has three different tests - all mental arithmetic but a slightly different emphasis eg. the third test is slightly more wordy with problem solving type questions. It is an excellent curriculum with no gimmicks.

I have been using this book with my just turned 6 year old, and it is great at posing questions in a way which really requires a child to think about what is being asked of them, rather than basic addition, subtraction etc. It teaches them to extrapolate from the question only the key information, rather than to get bogged down in the words. My daughter finds some questions challenging, but she is only in Year 1, so to be expected. I will be purchasing another copy for my 4 year old son as I think it’s fantastic.

This is a great book that teaches kids how to think. I love the book. The only thing that is not great - uses the European terms like cm, 24 hour clock, C degrees, etc. I would buy it again.

I can't compare in exercises quality because different levels, but for me it's a good choice

Lots and lots of sums, word problems and conversion questions. Keeps the kids engaged and supplements school study. Also has self-tracker/performance tracker if you wish to keep track of your kid's progress. Good to build mathematics foundation for kids

These exercises are excellent. They force the student to focus on the question and to think. However, they should be graded or discussed with the student so that the student learns from any mistake made.

The content of the book was super.Very helpful for kids to solve more problems.
