sequential development of mathematical concepts and vocabulary, and opportunities for weekly assessment and monitoring of student progress with the Friday review In our school we use New Wave Mental Maths in all classes from 1st class to 6th class. It is a fantastic resource and we have seen great gains in the mathematical abilities of our pupils since adopting this scheme. It covers all strands daily and that there is repetition of types of questions weekly. Children gain in confidence as they come across topics in their Mental Maths book before they work on these topics in their textbooks. A must for all booklists. Cathy Power
Friday review now easier to access with questions colour-coded for each strand. Great for the student and great for teacher marking and evaluating the student’s knowledgeI use New Wave Mental Maths each year in First and Second Classes for homework Monday-Thursday. There are 10 questions each night. Students are able to answer most of the questions by themselves and there are one or two challenging questions each night. We do the Friday box in school on Fridays. This shows me how well the student has grasped the new concepts. Well laid out book.. Sinéad Murphy I use New Wave Mental Maths with 5th and 6th classes.
