By using strategies and encouraging regular practice, your pupils will develop strong mental maths abilities in no time. Mental Maths is a superb daily resource used throughout the school. It starts each day for me in the classroom. The children enjoy the daily work, are encouraged by repetition, familiarity of concepts, regularity of all strands of the curriculum. They look forward to their Friday tests. A true reflection of this is evident when the children ask when is it Maths time? without associating Mental Maths with actual maths lessons. It is a huge success. It is also very handy for homework. Maith sibh Prim-Ed.

When your class adopts the New Wave Mental Maths programme:

I love New Wave Mental Maths. It's what we do first every morning. I love the way it constantly revises all the topics! It's not too difficult for the weaker children and yet there is always one or two challenging questions for the brighter children. I can't wait to try out the New Wave English in practice. Mary Boyce New wave mental maths, I love this series of books, good range of questions for children and they get harder as the year goes on. Children enjoy doing the daily tasks. Great for problem solving! Would be great if you had an interactive aspect to accompany the series of books where children could work in small groups at the board to extend their problem solving ability. Carla Dalton

Finally, if Friday tests were given as perforated strips which could be torn out week by week to be given in actual test style, that would be terrific.

The concise weekly/daily layout of the book, the variety of topics covered, the scope of revision of topics, the introduction of new topics are important factors which influence me as teacher to choose this book.
