About KS1 Maths
KS1 Maths builds strong number sense in Years 1 and 2. Children learn to count, add and subtract, explore shapes and measures, work with coins and time, and begin to explain how they solved a problem. Our quick quizzes turn practice into short, fun bursts that fit neatly around home routines and schoolwork.
Start with facts to 10 and 20 in Calculation Addition Year 1, then use everyday money skills in Money Giving Change Year 2. Build key vocabulary with Addition and Subtraction Language Year 1, and practise reading clocks in Telling the Time Year 1. Each quiz gives instant feedback so children can spot mistakes and try again with confidence.
Little-and-often works best – two or three quizzes a week keep skills fresh and make SATs revision feel calm and familiar. Use any device and repeat quizzes to help facts stick.
See the official Government guidance: Mathematics programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2.
