Mental Mathematics is the bridge between skills and
facts learnt in class and the maths we use in real life.

• The Maths lesson at school usually kicks off
with „mental oral starters‟, which take 5 to 10
minutes. The Abacus scheme supports this type
of activity through its “Mental Warm-up” Book.
• Mental Oral starters should be short, focused
and purposeful activities which serve to
stimulate the children‟s thinking.
• Teacher talk should be kept to a minimum.

• Outside the school mental mathematics
can take place everywhere.
• The idea is that we as adults are able to
identify situations where mathematics can
be applied and explored.
• Good questioning skills and observation is
all that is needed in order to evoke a
sense of wonder in the child.
