Why practise mental maths at home?
Mental maths skills are not built overnight. They grow through regular practice over time, a little and often, and that steady practice shows in the classroom.
Confidence in class
When questions feel familiar, mental maths in the classroom feels less daunting, and children are readier to put their hand up.
Resilience
Regular practice teaches children to stay calm, move on from a tricky question and finish strongly.
Stronger mathematicians
Quick recall and secure calculation skills free up thinking space for harder problems, and support everything else in maths.
