What’s presented in Learning+ Mathematics by the Minute
Workbook 6?
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. Answers are provided for quick
self-assessment at the back of the book.
