Year one maths Challenges Resources

Learning to add single-digit numbers is a highlight of the year one maths curriculum. You can support addition fluency with this guided lesson that takes kindergarteners through an understanding of values. Kids will learn with focused instruction and practise that by putting numbers together, they get a new number. When the lesson is over, kids can continue practising addition with our accompanying worksheets.

Once kindergarteners understand the concept of more and less, they will move on to basic subtraction with single-digit numbers. This can be a tricky concept for kids to master. You can help this transition with these exercises that aim to give kids targeted practise in subtraction. Once the guided lesson is finished, you can support learning further with the accompanying subtraction worksheets.

In year one, kids will learn all about sorting and classifying. This skill is a building block for maths and science concepts to come in the later grades. Knowing how to group numbers, for example, builds a key understanding of numerical concepts. This lesson focuses on sorting and classifying skills for kindergarteners, and comes complete with suggested worksheets for extended learning.
