Mental mathematics
Mental mathematics questions are now available in a complete and separate package covering KS2 and KS3 to enable you to select individual questions by topic, time allowed (5, 10 15 seconds) and level. For example, you could compile a mental mathematics test on percentages targeted at level 4 with 10 seconds allowed for each question. The search creates the transcript for the test and then you can automatically create the matching answer sheet for pupils to complete. Alternatively, you can select a complete mental mathematics test with the pupil answer sheet and mark scheme.
