mentalmathchamps.com › The Mental Math Workbook
Not another stack of worksheets. A 16-week mental math program for kids in grades 3–6: learn a shortcut, practice it, beat the timer — from 20 answers to 80, in 10 minutes a day.
Most mental math workbooks are piles of problems. Children grind through them the long way and get marginally faster at being slow. Mental Math Champs is built the other way around: every section starts with a shortcut (the ×11 trick, doubling-and-halving, near-100 multiplication, subtract-by-rounding — 50+ in all), each with worked examples a child can follow alone. Then a practice set makes that one trick automatic. Then timed challenges — 25 of them, growing from 20 questions to the full 80-in-10-minutes — turn skills into speed your child can see and brag about.
Instant digital download (PDF). Print what you need, when you need it — it works for one child or the whole family, and homeschool parents use it as their daily math fact fluency block.
One-time purchase. Instant download. Less than a single tutoring session, for 16 weeks of daily practice.

Grades 3–6, two kinds of kids: the child who knows the facts but does everything the slow way — and the child who loves math and is bored, for whom the timed 80-question challenge becomes a sport. If you're not sure your child is ready, don't buy yet: take the free 10-minute test first. If they attempt 15 or more questions, they're ready for the program.
Week 1, most children attempt 20–30 of 80 questions. By following the plan — one trick a day, one timed challenge a week — attempted and correct climb together. The program's finish line is the full 80-question paper, and the built-in re-tests mean you never have to wonder whether it's working: the score chart shows you.
A digital download (PDF), delivered instantly by email after checkout. Print the pages you need — many families print the flashcards and tracker once and re-print challenge pages per attempt.
Grades 3–6, roughly ages 8–12. The 16-week plan starts gently enough for a 3rd grader and the later challenges stretch strong 6th graders.
Free worksheets give practice without method. This program teaches 50+ speed shortcuts first, then drills each one, then times the results — the sequence that actually builds fluency. The free test is our worksheet; the workbook is the system.
About 20 minutes a day: 10 learning or practicing a trick, 10 on timed practice. The full plan runs 16 weeks, but most families see the first score jump within two.
Start with the free 10-minute test. The program meets kids at their level — the first challenges are 20 questions, and scoring only counts attempted questions, so a struggling child competes with their own last score, nobody else's.
