Hi
Can someone out there help me please?
I need some advice / strategies/ guidance on how to improve mental maths.
It’s my dd’s weakest area (don’t mean to use the word weak- you know what i mean) and it’s something I don’t actually know how to improve.
We go for a coffee every morning before school for half an hour and each day we do something either directly school related (home work / spellings); or something fun like banagrams and vocab, and sometimes just card games and silly stuff.
She needs to improve her mental maths (she’s frustrated she can’t do it in her head, and she’s going to sit an 11+ I think) but I actually don’t know how you improve mental maths. Are there books for this sort of thing? With strategies and methods and examples? Am determined to keep it fun.
