For those of you who like to have regular mental arithmetic practice at your fingertips then our weekly programme is ideal. Each week we publish four sets of ten mental arithmetic questions aimed directly at the programme of study that UK schools use in Year 2. This week the mental arithmetic questions concentrate on addition, subtraction, time, money and number patterns. There are lots of ways that these can be used and answers can be called out, written down, shown using number cards etc. It is also a really good idea to talk through how answers are reached. As well as the mental arithmetic questions we also have some great pages on solving problems inviolving money, adding  and subtracting small numbers, reading the time to a quarter of an hour and reading divisions on scales.
