QTS Numeracy Book Mental Arithmetics sample

Gwen Ineson, module tutor for primary mathematics at Brunel University says

"I thought the material was great! I really like the way that you demonstrate how to tackle each question within the time limit. My research is in mental maths, so it is a big part of the course at Brunel and we go through a range of strategies that they could employ for these types of questions, before they begin to take the tests. I did a session preparing trainee teachers for the skills tests yesterday and gave them the link to your website.


"I received the qts numeracy skills test package today and passed the numeracy skills test first time!"
Clare, Trainee Teacher October 2009


"I just wanted to say thanks for providing such excellent resources for the QTS Numeracy test. I wish I had known about them sooner.
As an experienced teacher (without QTS) I joined a teacher training course at the very end of the academic year, with just a term and my summer holidays to get through the work and tests.
I took my maths test today - just a week from the final deadline, and am so pleased I discovered your video download last night to prepare me for it! I felt so much more confident doing the mental maths section once I had seen it as a game of 'spot the shortcut', and your tips were invaluable. I'm pleased to say I passed too!
Dawn, Teacher August 2010

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) Numeracy Skills Test

Help with the Mental Arithmetic section

You probably know that doing the QTS Numeracy test is very stressful - especially the mental arithmetic section. You may have tried several times already with no success.

Over the pass few years mathsmadeeasy has successfully coached trainee teachers through the QTS numeracy test and now it's time to pass our insights onto you.

We've condensed our knowledge into a short book (pdf), outlining the crucial short-cuts you need to answer the mental arithmetic in the time given. It's packed with lots of typical mental arithmetic questions.

Demo video 1 But that's only half the story. To get the maximum benefit from a training aid it needs to be realistic and mirror the real thing.

So we've created three aural mental arithmetic tests, each with twelve questions and timed just like the real test for you to practise with.

And crucially, to show you how to answer quickly in the short time allotted for each question, we've made three answer videos which teach you visually and verbally the arithmetic short-cuts you need.

For only £9.99 you get :

  • Short book (pdf) packed with typical QTS numeracy style mental arithmetic questions
  • Three aural mental arithmetic tests ( different to those on TDA website )
  • Three aural/visual mental arithmetic answers videos - see above sample
The question and answer videos all run using Windows Media Player which comes with Microsoft Windows. If you are unsure load this sample to check you have it before you buy.

After you buy via secure paypa1, you'll receive an email (from my distributor) within minutes. The email contains a link which you use to download everything in a zipped file. So no postage and no waiting for the post to arrive!

The zipped file (44MB) contains everything above in 7 files (6 WMA and 1 Pdf) and will take several minutes to download at normal broadband speeds (2MB).
Make sure you save the zipped file as we can't send replacements!
