Q

What is the Mental Sums Topic?

A

The Mental Sums topic helps students develop the speed, accuracy and number sense needed to solve calculations mentally without relying on written working. It strengthens recall of basic facts and encourages students to recognise number patterns and use efficient mental strategies to solve questions quickly.
Examples include:

Addition and subtraction
Multiplication and division
Fractions, decimals and percentages
Number patterns
Estimation and quick calculations

Students can practise unlimited variations of Mental Sums questions using Generate New, helping them improve calculation speed, accuracy and confidence for both school exams and the PSLE.
