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 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.
