Mental maths is practised two or three times a

week.
Pupils write their answers completing one column
at a time.
Each pupil should then fill in the required
information at the top of the sheet, including the
number of attempts.
When the time is up, pupils should stop writing. (If
necessary, though, more time can be allowed so
that all students can complete the sheet.)
The teacher reads out the answers so that pupils
can correct their papers.
Pupils are then allowed a few minutes to count up
their right and wrong answers.
The teacher keeps a record of each pupil’s score
in a class register (Grade Sheet). For example, for
every three columns.

Score: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

After a few days, if the calculations sheet has not

been mastered, the same test can be administered
again. If it is necessary to repeat the exercise, pupils
should be allowed to see where they are making
mistakes and encouraged to memorise those tables
they do not yet know.
Pupils can improve their speed in performing
different calculations by practising at home, using
the calculation sheets found at the end of their
activity book. These sheets are the same as the
teacher’s printables calculation sheets.
