Mental Methods in Mathematics - A First Resort

by The Mathematical Association

Ask some children or teachers to do these questions 'in their heads'.

  • Subtract 29 from 53.
  • How many 26p stamps for £5.00?
  • What shapes can you make from two congruent triangles?
Then ask them to describe the methods they used. Effective mental mathematics requires a flexible approach adapted to suit each particular question. The problem for the teacher is to devise ways of encouraging children to develop a range of strategies and to use them confidently. This handbook includes work from children aged 5 to 18; topics in number, geometry and algebra and discussion of the interaction between pencil and paper, electronic and mental methods of calculation.
