FAQs about Year 1 maths

There are no maths assessments in Year 1. In place of formal assessments, teachers will monitor their student’s progress throughout the year using a range of informal assessment strategies. 

Maths for Year 1 consists of six key areas and will help learners get to grips with the foundational skills they’ll need in each. Let’s break these down below.

Number

The subject of number is further broken down into four categories; place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and fractions.

Within this, your Year 1 students will learn:

Measurement

 

The topic of measurement covers measuring, time and money. In Year 1, learners will cover:

  • Transitioning from using non-standard units of measure to standard units of measure
  • The value of all of the different coins and notes
  • How to tell the time to the nearest hour and the nearest half hour

Shapes/Geometry

 

Students will cover the basics of shape and direction in Year 1. This means that by the end of the year, they’ll be able to:

  • Identify different 2D and 3D shapes
  • Use whole, half, and quarter turns to describe movement and direction

A great way to give your child some Year 1 maths help is to give them lots of practice at the different skills they’re learning. Our fantastic maths app has thousands of fun and interactive curricular-aligned games that your little learner is sure to love.

You can also try out these 50 maths questions for Year 1 with your learners to get a good idea of their progress!

By the end of Year 1, your students should have a firm grasp of the numbers 0 to 100. Additionally, they should be able to perform simple operations (+, -, ÷, x) on numbers up to 20. They should be able to identify a range of 2D and 3D shapes, all of the different coins and notes, and be able to use simple units of measurement.

Within the national curriculum for maths Year 1 students will be required to meet a whole host of statutory requirements before they move on to Year 2.
