1st Grade Math Worksheets (Ages 6–7)

Do not ban fingers; replace them. Counting on from the larger number is the first step, then doubles and near-doubles, then knowing the pairs that make 10. A short daily sheet of ten mixed facts within 20, alongside a ten frame, moves most facts into memory over a few months. Fingers that reappear only on the hard facts are a sign of progress, not a problem.

Six-year-olds move from counting to calculating. The set should cover addition and subtraction facts within 20 for recall, tens and ones for two-digit numbers, column addition without regrouping, counting by 2s, 5s and 10s, time to the hour and half hour, coin values, measuring with units, halves and quarters of shapes, and one-step word problems that the child writes as an equation. Long columns and regrouping can wait a year. A child ready for this stage decodes CVC words automatically, writes a simple sentence with a capital letter and end punctuation, adds and subtracts fluently within 10, and counts and writes numerals confidently to 20.

The sheets cover number sense and counting, addition and subtraction, shapes and measurement and patterns and comparison, which sit inside the Common Core Grade 1 (1.OA, 1.NBT, RF.1.3) outcomes for 1st Grade. Year 1 / Year 2 (UK), Class 1 (India) use the same skills at this age, so the sheets also fit families following those programmes.
