    INTRODUCTION Schofield & Sims

    Purpose
    Schofield & Sims Mental Arithmetic is intended for use alongside your existing maths
    lessons. It gives pupils the opportunity to develop their understanding of mathematical
    concepts by providing carefully differentiated questions in the volume necessary for intensive
    and regular use.

    Please bear in mind that any new areas must be taught thoroughly before pupils meet them
    in the Mental Arithmetic books. This will give pupils the chance to do well, showing you
    what they know, as well as what they may have forgotten. Targeted questions focus on the
    different areas of the curriculum, providing structured, rigorous practice of key concepts, and
    highlighting those areas where pupils need further help.

    Mental Arithmetic also reinforces and develops pupils’ maths vocabulary. Each pupil book
    includes a ‘Language of Maths’ glossary and all seven of these are reproduced in the
    General Resources section of this Teacher’s Guide.

    Mental Arithmetic and the National Curriculum


    By providing rich and varied maths practice and on-going formative assessment, Mental
    Arithmetic meets the requirements of the National Curriculum, enabling pupils to consolidate
    their essential maths skills and develop a deeper understanding of the topics covered.
    The range of topics per test encourages pupils to think mathematically and apply all that
    they have learnt when answering each question, as well as helping them to improve their
    mental fluency.

    The table below indicates which Mental Arithmetic book may be most suitable for your
    class, based on end of year expectations in the National Curriculum. First Mental Arithmetic
    is available for younger children.

    Pupils should demonstrate mastery of the curriculum content for their year group before
    they are allowed to move on to a later book in the series. The increase in difficulty within
    each book will challenge and extend more able pupils, providing comprehensive practice
    and highlighting any gaps in their understanding.

    To further assist you in choosing the right book for each pupil or class, two Entry Tests are
    provided (see page 7 for more information).
