Mental Maths is a wonderful resource for any teacher. I can't recommend it highly enough.There is never enough time in a teacher's day for all the topics we not alone have to introduce and teach but we also have to constantly revise. Mental maths takes some of the pressure off for revision. It also times the introduction of new topics really well. I have used it for many years and hope to continue to use it for many more!
