Mathematical Reasoning for higher achieving students Years 5&6

Preparing for Selective Schools and Scholarship Tests: Mathematical Reasoning for higher achieving students Years 5 & 6 provides:

• A thorough Extension Test Preparation Program based on the full set of Mathematical Skills required for the test. (136 questions across seven topics)
• Eight Trial Tests with questions to be solved using Higher Order Thinking with fully worked solutions. (35 questions × eights tests = 280 questions total)
• Appropriate for all states and territories in Australia.

The book has been presented in two parts:

Part 1: Test Preparation Skill Task Program
In order to be successful, students need to be thoroughly prepared for the challenge of taking the Mathematical Reasoning Test. This section of the book provides students with extension material, organised according to major topic areas that are required by students to master before they take the test. The main topic areas covered in this book are: Whole Number Operations; Number Facts; Fractions, Decimals and Percentages; Measurement; The Number Plane; Geometry; and Chance and Data.

Part 2: Mathematical Reasoning Trial Test Program
This section gives students the opportunity to undertake eight trial tests.
