CIMT can be relied on to provide material with useful examples on any topic. I often use the ideas from the mental tests in class - these mental tests are provided for each topic and are on that topic - not just mental arithmetic. I also use some of the additional activities, here for example there are some well known investigations such as the Fencing problem and exploring the relationship between area and number of dots on the perimeter.
