FULLY UPDATED FOR THE NEW AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM

The Ultimate Preparation for High School Mental Mastery
The Targeting Mental Maths Year 6 Curriculum Edition has been completely revised to align with the latest 2023/2024 educational standards. As the final year of primary school, Year 6 is a critical time to solidify mental computation skills. Developing the ability to solve complex problems mentally builds the speed, accuracy, and confidence required for the transition to secondary school mathematics. This workbook helps students:

• Refine Rapid-Fire Recall: Engage in daily mental exercises that sharpen the recall of high-level maths facts, essential for reducing cognitive load in algebra and advanced operations.
• Master Sophisticated Mental Strategies: Each unit explains and practises a specific mental strategy, teaching students how to handle multi-step calculations, decimals, and percentages in their heads.
• Apply Concepts Across the Curriculum: Beyond number work, exercises challenge students to apply mental reasoning to space, measurement, position, data, and chance.
• Challenge Advanced Logic: Every unit concludes with a "Problem of the Week," designed to test students’ ability to apply their mental strategies to complex, high-interest problems.

With a clean, modern design and a focus on high-level cognitive agility, this workbook is the essential tool for ensuring Year 6 students are high-school-ready.

This updated edition features:

• Parallel Learning Structure: Specifically designed to run in tandem with the Targeting Maths Year 6 Student Book, ensuring mental practice supports classroom curriculum.
• 32 Structured Weekly Units: Neatly divided into four terms of work, providing a consistent and manageable routine that covers the entire school year.
• Comprehensive Revision Units: Each term ends with a dedicated Revision Unit to consolidate core strategies and ensure mastery of the curriculum outcomes.
• Consistent Professional Layout: An effective two-page format featuring focused drills on the left and strategy-based application on the right.

The Targeting Mental Maths series remains the most trusted name in Australian numeracy, now evolved to deliver the rigour and depth required for the current Year 6 curriculum.
