What’s presented in Learning+ Mathematics by the Minute Workbook 2?
Each lesson is divided into three Steps:
STEP 1
Warm-up: This exercise helps students to revise mathematics they should already know and gives them preparation for Step 2.
STEP 2
Quick calculation: This exercise is a set of questions focussed on the topic area being tested.
STEP 3
Challenge: This is a more testing exercise designed to stretch students’ mental abilities.

Some of the lessons also include:
• A TIP to help students answer questions of a particular type.
• A MIND GYM PUZZLE – this is a further test of mental agility and is not included in the 5-minute time allocation.

Students should attempt to answer as many questions as possible in the time allowed at each Step.
