Mental Arithmetic Book 5 Answers: Year 6, Ages 10-11

Product Information

With the nine times tables, they can calculate the answer to the associated ten times table and subtract one lot of the multiplier. For example for 3 x 9, pupils can complete 3 x 10 – 3. Another method to solve this calculation is to count in multiples of 3 or 9, although this method may not be the most efficient or accurate.

By the end of Year 4, pupils are expected to know all the times tables up to 12 x 12. If pupils are not yet confident with all of their times tables, there are methods they can use to help them mentally calculate the answer.

Mental Arithmetic

Rote learning is often frowned upon in modern education - understandably in most subjects - however with elementary mathematics some rote learning is essential.

An alternative method is to count on to find the difference. This method involves starting from 29 and counting on in ones and tens until you reach 55. Some pupils may struggle with this method as they may not understand the meaning of ‘difference’ and the ways of finding the difference. They may also not understand the relationship between addition and subtraction. In arithmetic tests, many pupils will take a long time using written methods when they could find the correct answer mentally. If a question is best solved using mental methods, pupils then need to select the most efficient method to solve the given calculation. This may seem a lot for pupils to grasp, which is why regularly practising mental maths tasks is important.Adding decimals mentally can be difficult. This is the type of question where estimating, using whole numbers and jottings can be helpful. By estimating the answer first, pupils will get a good idea of what their answer should be. If, when finding the exact answer, the two are vastly different, pupils will know they have made a mistake. This does rely on pupils understanding how to estimate accurately. When multiplying by 10 mentally, there are several methods pupils could use. When multiplying a one-digit number by 10, they may be able to recall the answer (e.g. 8 x 10). They could also count in tens, although this method could be inaccurate. Pupils could also imagine a place value grid and mentally move the digits one column to the left. This method would also work for multiplying two-digit numbers by 10. Please refer to this Agreement before adding more titles to your CGP Online Editions account (Your Account). 1.

There are several different mental strategies that can be used for addition and subtraction, depending on the question pupils are answering.

When completing 2 x 4 x 5, pupils could identify that 2 x 5 = 10 and multiply this by 4 or complete 4 x 5 and multiply the product by 2. By identifying easier calculations to multiply, they can find more manageable numbers to work with. There are times where pupils may struggle with this. For example, with the second question, if pupils first complete 9 x 2 = 18, they may then struggle to answer 5 x 18.
