Collins Practice — COLLINS MENTAL MATHS: Ages 5-6

The tests are great, carefully and logically designed. Great help for parents who want to follow their child's progress at school/ homeschooling too! The test are very easy for the kids to do independently after a short explanation. My 5,5 year old does really well.

Good for practise

Nice book, my daughter actually enjoys doing these tests, she does one a day, an I can see that the things being asked are definitely in line with her Foundation stage ciriculum.

This is an excellent book of weekly tests, which really covers a huge amount of concepts (rather than just the usual addition, subtraction of many mental maths books for this age group). There are 40 tests, which become progressively more challenging - although each test has two questions at a lower level than the rest to ensure some success if a child is really struggling. There is a grid to record your child's progress and the answers are at the back of the book. I really like the mixed question format - for example, Test 5 has questions on addition, shapes, early fractions, less/more and time. If there had been money questions I would have found it perfect, but still it is a very good book. There is an English book for the same age group Collins Practice - Collins Phonics and Spelling: Ages 5-6 and a 'Basic Skills' book for both English and Maths, although they are for the 7-11 age group. Overall, this is a good buy.

Brilliant little books we got this for our 5 year old for a bit of extra practice at home. Great set out easy for them to understand

Our kid finished half of the book on the day we received it. The book itself has interesting questions...Good choice...

Each quiz covers a range of topics and the quizzes get progressively harder.

Excellent worksheets, very appropriate for the specified age group

Perfect for 5-6 yr old .

Book is great for young minds. Really helpful and meet the expectations

Good practice book for kids.

Good for 5 to 6 years.

Most of the questions are too simple for a 5 year old kid. For example, identify tallest person in the picture, identify circles from a bunch of shapes, fill the missing number on a clock, count the number of items, etc.
