Year 1 Maths Worksheets & Practice
Make maths something children can see and touch. Year 1 practice works well when counting, talking and moving come before a page of written questions.
A happy start with numbers
Number & place value
Practise counting forwards and backwards to 100. Ask what comes before or after a number, then find it on a number line.
Addition & subtraction
Explore number bonds within 20 with counters. Move objects as you add and take away, saying what has changed.
Multiplication & division
Make equal groups and share objects fairly. Try pairs of socks or groups of five building blocks.
Fractions
Fold paper into equal halves and quarters. Talk about why equal parts matter.
Measurement
Compare longer, shorter, heavier and lighter. Read o’clock and half past times in everyday routines.
Shape & reasoning
Find familiar flat and solid shapes at home. Ask your child to explain how they sorted them.
A small idea to try today
Put ten small objects on the table. Hide some under a cup. Can your child work out how many are hiding? Swap roles and explain your thinking.
