Book: Mental Maths

Published February 6, 2010

Maths is often a tough nut to crack for most people, but the secret to success in this subject lies in understanding the concepts and practicing them. In addition, it is the first few years of our school life which decides if you are going to like this subject for the rest of your life or are going to dread it.

A series that can prove helpful in getting the hang of this subject is Say Publishing's Mental Maths, a series of four books each catering to a certain age group, which is from five-year olds to eight-year olds.

There are many mind teasing number games to test the basic concepts that are taught at school to these age groups. Very well presented, illustrated and printed, these are attractive workbooks for children that make even a dry subject like maths seem appealing. Moreover, the content has been prepared with much thought to turn decimals, multiplications, divisions, measurements sums, etc., into appealing activities and games that children can easily sit and do on their own.

The instructions are simple and easy to follow and the visuals explain what needs to be done in a way that there is little need to be read or explained what to do by an adult. The Mental Maths series are a great way for children to pass their time doing fruitful and educational activities.
