What your child will practise

Useful preparation, explained plainly

01

Secure number before speed

Questions combine arithmetic, fractions, measures and proportional reasoning. Children see how to select the right operation before carrying out the calculation.

02

Keep multi-step working visible

Longer problems are divided into a maximum of three useful steps. This makes it easier to find whether the mistake came from interpretation, method or arithmetic.

03

Learn from plausible wrong answers

Distractors represent recognisable errors such as using the wrong whole, missing a conversion or stopping one step early. Feedback names that error in language a 10-year-old can act on.

A calm route through the material

Three clear steps

  1. Underline what must be found

    Separate the final question from the extra information in the problem.

  2. Write one operation per line

    Visible working reduces rushed mental jumps and makes checking possible.

  3. Estimate before accepting

    A quick size check catches many place-value, unit and operation errors.
