Maths in Basic 1

In Basic 1 children become more confident readers and start working with bigger numbers. These games turn the key Basic 1 skills into fun ten-question challenges.

  • Short and often beats long and rare: 10 minutes a day builds fact fluency faster than an hour once a week.
  • Start one level below where your child is comfortable. Early wins build confidence.
  • Ask your child to explain how they got an answer. Talking through a strategy deepens understanding.
  • Celebrate streaks and personal bests rather than perfect scores.
