Year 1 Maths Activities, Teaching Resources, Practice & Tests

Build Year 1 mathematics step by step with curriculum-aligned learning across Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space and Statistics. SkillrHub organises learning by Australian Curriculum code so teachers and families can teach a concept, practise it and check independent understanding.

Open Year 1 Maths

Choose Year 1 Maths support by what you need

Teaching a new concept?

Start with explicit teaching slides and worked examples linked to the matching Australian Curriculum code.

Need independent practice?

Move into structured online practice after the learner can explain the concept with support.

Not sure what is missing?

Use the diagnostic and misconception tools to identify the likely prerequisite or curriculum gap before assigning more questions.

Homeschooling in Australia?

Use the scope and sequence, term planner and assessment tracker to organise Year 1 Maths without pretending there is one mandated teaching order.

Year 1 Maths topics

Number

Numbers to 120, partitioning tens and ones, equal groups, skip counting, addition and subtraction, problem solving, money, sharing and grouping.

Algebra

Skip-counting sequences and repeating patterns using objects, shapes, symbols and numbers.

Measurement

Compare attributes, measure length with informal units, and reason about time, duration and event sequences.

Space

Recognise familiar shapes and objects and give and follow directions in everyday spaces.

Statistics

Collect and record categorical data using objects, pictures, lists, tally marks and symbols.

Diagnostic advantage

Not sure what to teach next?

Interactive next-step diagnostic

Select observable learning gaps and get a prioritised list of likely curriculum areas with direct teaching links.

Common misconceptions & readiness checks

Use concrete signs to decide whether a learner is ready to move on or needs an earlier concept strengthened.

Planning tools

Plan and track Year 1 Maths

Homeschool curriculum pathway

A teach → practise → test → review pathway for Australian families.

Scope & sequence

A suggested progression across all 15 live Year 1 maths codes.

Term planner

A four-term planning model that interleaves number with other strands.

Assessment tracker

A printable taught / practised / checked record for every live code.

Maths at home

Families can use 10-minute Year 1 Maths activities with household objects to build number, measurement, spatial and data reasoning without turning every session into a worksheet.

Teach before testing

For a new topic, start with visual teaching and concrete examples. Move into short practice, revisit errors and use a test when the learner can work independently. This helps children connect mathematical symbols to the quantities, models and situations they represent.
