What do teachers think about New Wave Mental Maths?

New Wave Mental Maths is brilliant - it offers a wide variety of material in concise format. We use it a lot for homework. It gives the children a chance to practice topics we have moved on from and at the same time, gives teachers an indication of where a review might be needed. The mix of topics means that all children have a chance to succeed.
— Jennifer Holland, Teacher
Excellent workbook with daily practice to reinforce Maths concepts. Pupils encounter a variety of questions to help them revise key concepts. Daily tests are quick and very worthwhile do with a class or learning support group. Children grow in confidence as the weeks progress as similar questions are repeated but also more challenging as the year progresses. We use the programme in all classes from 1st to 6th.
— A. Quinn, Teacher
We use mental maths every morning first thing in our class. It is fantastic for allowing constant revision of previous topics and also touches on new areas before the children cover them in their workbook. Have seen a definite improvement in their mental maths skills. Highly recommend this book.

How do pupils keep momentum of their learning?

A word from the author: Eddy Krajcar

‘When I started teaching in the early 1990s, I found that a large number of pupils lacked understanding and skills of simple maths, like telling the time, basic facts, money and simple strategies. Traditionally, these skills are taught and worked on once and then forgotten. I find that this is causing a tremendous strain on both teachers and pupils and is the main reason why I’ve developed New Wave Mental Maths. The workbook provides a way to reinforce taught concepts through repeated practice and lift the pupils’ overall maths results.’
