I use Mental Maths daily and love the fact that there is a mixture of concepts in each test. This means concepts are being continually reviewed. Patricia Murphy Studies have also shown that mental arithmetic can significantly boost the capacity of the brain. Many real-life problems require mathematical knowledge, but they also require the ability to think creatively and apply what you know in new ways. Mental maths strategies are the foundation of most of the areas of mathematics that use numbers. By teaching mental maths to pupils, we are giving them the tools they need to succeed in mathematical concepts that require the manipulation of numbers. Mental maths is a group of skills that allow you to do maths in your head without using a pencil and paper or a calculator. provides a variety of mental problems in a number of contexts in all Australian Curriculum Mathematics strands

I use New Wave Mental Maths with 5th and 6th classes. I provides great opportunities to pre teach topics and revise others. The activities become increasingly more difficult as the year progresses. It is great as a revision tool also. Joan-Marie Ronan I myself am a student and personally love math and this book has really helped me devolp new skills in Math Anonymous Designed for daily use in the classroom or as structured, consistent homework, with enough material for the whole school year. By teaching mental maths strategies, you can give pupils a strong foundation on which to build their mathematical understanding and problem-solving skills.The New Wave Mental Math's are a great resource for keeping recent topics in the children's minds and getting them to continually practice them while also introducing them gradually to newer topics they may not have me yet with me. Personally, I use it as a great homework resource and find they love it too! Sarah Mccabe Mental Maths is a wonderful resource for any teacher. I can't recommend it highly enough.There is never enough time in a teacher's day for all the topics we not alone have to introduce and teach but we also have to constantly revise. Mental maths takes some of the pressure off for revision. It also times the introduction of new topics really well. I have used it for many years and hope to continue to use it for many more! Gillian Connolly I find the New Wave Mental Maths Workbook an excellent resource in the classroom. Currently I am using Mental Maths 1. I have used all the other levels during the course of my teaching and have found each level equally invaluable. 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. I find the children ‘love’ this book, they like the repetitive aspect and enjoy monitoring and recording of their individual scores. For me it is a must on each book list! Eilish Finnegan
