Mental Arithmetic 5: Arithmetic, Number Vocabulary and Problem Solving, Year 6, Ages 10-11

Like me if you are going to see ratings, reviews and some photos and order stuff, beware this book does not have answers to the question papers. If you need them, it is a separate book which you can buy!!! This is first, after having bought over 25 books of various companies to help my kid with his 11+. So except to spend time personally solving those questions to validate you kids work :-). Do think it's ridiculous that no answer keys are given. The quality of the questions itself is good. 36 questions cramped into one page, but that fine as it's supposed to be mostly mental maths.

These are very good Our son is preparing for 11+ entrance exams in Sep 2021. His tutor recommended this we have started with book 3 and book 4 and now on book 5 These are good books if you follow them properly and let your child do 36 questions of each excercise in 30 min Just few tips Do not help your child while doing the test and don't sit next to your child while he/she is doing the test once test is completed try to go over answers immediately and let you child reattempt wrong answers Revise same book until your child is consistently getting over 95% in every test and then move to next book depending on child age if you child is in start of year 5 then start with book 3 and then move to higher level books One book should be completed in 30 days and then 30 days to revise Good luck

For 11+ ISEB test Super fast

Good

Our private tutor recommended Schofield and Sims as they ask slightly more searching questions than those found in Bond papers. My daughter is getting ready for entrance exams to one of the top independent schools. If she does pass it will be partly down to working though these books. We have completed book 4 and now half way through book 5. If your child is good enough to answer majority of the tougher questions in book 5 then they should have a good chance in getting through some of the tougher entrance exams.

Nice book for kids

The gifts that children don't like, but they are also the most useful ones for them. I think this study material is very useful. The exercises in it start from the simple ones and each one has three parts. The difficulty increases gradually.

It is really mental arithmetic with good way of answering questions

An excellent book

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.
