A new book for the modern classroom

Like all our books, the teaching content is kept to a minimum, in order to maximise space for practice questions. This provides significant opportunities for learners to grow confident in their basic skills.

These books also provide exercises for learners to develop their mental agility, encourageing learners to think and communicate the process and then to practise the skills in several mental maths exercises of increasing difficult throughout the book.

Unlike any other textbooks, these books keep the reasoning skills and questions in context in a separate section. Learners are encouraged to develop reading skills first, prior to attempting the question. These sections are throughout the book and contain exercises of increasing difficulty.

Alongside the textbook there are many additional online resources, linked via QR code. to complement teaching and learning. These include: 

  • projects to support the learner experience for budgeting, information handling and mathematician research
  • write-on sheets for coordinates, symmetry, information handling and Maths in Context
  • Mental Maths record sheets 
  • Learning checklists (see below)

Included in this book:

  • Progressive exercises for learners of all abilities
