Building Maths Fitness
Each Building Maths Fitness book is packed with 20 weeks of daily maths cards. Aimed at 10- to 13-year-old students, the cards gradually become more difficult as the weeks progress. Each week the types of problems stay the same, just the numbers change. During the course of the week the students will gain confidence and show progress with their learning. Answers cards are provided.
