When a child practices mental maths – maths becomes quicker and simpler!
My girls look at their maths charts (Mini Office A5 Maths) too much, so I made some fun worksheets for practice. These worksheets reinforce adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with just a few minutes practice every day.
You can download these worksheets ~
Maths Rockets ~ for adding/ subtracting or multiplying numbers on the side to equal the number in the roof (great for bonds)
Maths Butterflies ~ 5 sums for each butterfly, so good for quick reviews
Maths Corners ~ 4 sums for each number, also a quick worksheet
Maths In&Out ~ top row of random numbers “in” to work with a number and operation, and write the answer as “out”
Maths Caterpillars ~ each caterpillar has random numbers or operations, from simple to complex
Maths Amazing Squares ~ brilliant for bonds to 10 ~ all rows add to 10, up, down or sideways!
Maths Corners
Maths In & Out
Amazing Maths 10 Square
Maths Rockets
You can use these sheets as they are or ~
* cut out each section and let them do just one little fun exercise a day
* use a part of the page for pre-lesson reviews
* use the blanks pages to reinforce the numbers or operations you are working on
* focus on 1 operation or number exercise (all x 2 or +2 exercises)
* remedial work with number concepts or operations
With a little regular practice the number combinations or patterns start to “click” ~ which is great for confidence and generates a positive maths attitude!
Let me know what you and your children think!

These look very good. My son will surely enjoy this. Just a question how will this help mental math. What if the child is still counting with his fingers.

@Mercy, I have a finger-counting child too! I suggest that it is quicker and challenge her to try remember bonds rather than count off a visual chart or her fingers. Try make bonds a memory game and put it to the test with playing cards or a dice or dominoes and they will quickly work answers out without using fingers. Then come back to a mental maths worksheet for extra practice.

I am loving these. They are exactly what we need to start off this year! I do have one question. I know it is asking a lot, but is it possible to get the blank ones (like the last page of the math rockets – where we can fill in our own numbers) in a typeable format? Either way I love these and they are a great boost to our math! Thank you for sharing.

Dear Nadene, Hi ~ Was downloading and reading the work sheets and your maths charts (mini office A5 maths), and just ran across the shapes page. I don’t mean to be picky, but you’ve named the five sided shape a “pentagram” rather than a “pentagon” and there really is a difference. What you have on the chart is a “pentagon” ~ a pentagram is the five sided star. Here are the links to the different definitions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram . I just thought you might want to make a correction to your charts. 🙂 In His Grace, Kay
