How do I select a Mental Arithmetic book?

Mental Arithmetic is a highly differentiated series of graded workbooks proven to raise children's attainment in maths. Based on ability rather than age, each book practises the four basic number operations, challenging children to do more complex problems involving logical thinking and to apply knowledge introduced previously.

Each book has a general age guideline, but you can also choose the appropriate book by using our free Entry Tests. These short assessments help you identify your child's current skill level and find the right starting point in the series, ensuring they're neither overwhelmed nor under-challenged. Simply download the tests, work through them with your child, and use the results to select the book that will provide the most effective practice.

Do your books have answers?

The majority of our books have answers either online via our website or inside the books. All online answers can be found in our Free Downloads page or on the product pages for the individual books. 

How can I prepare for SATs?

Our SATs resources provide everything you need to help your child prepare with confidence. Closely aligned to the National Curriculum and SATs test frameworks, the books offer realistic practice that mirrors the format and content of real tests.

Clear layouts, helpful explanations and progressive difficulty levels help children identify areas to improve while building confidence step by step. Covering all key areas of English, maths and science for Key Stages 1 and 2, each book includes answers and marking schemes, making it easy for you to support your child's learning at home.

What books should I use for the 11+?

As part of our 11+ resources, we provide a free and easy-to-use Entry Test and Assessment Quiz. If you would like further advice regarding our 11+ resources and the exam, please contact us directly.
