Year 1 worksheets

First steps with number and words. Maths and English practice for this year.

Year 1 sits at the start of Key Stage 1. Children are building secure number sense within 20, learning to blend phonemes, and writing simple sentences. BritishEd Year 1 worksheets keep tasks short, visual, and calm so early learners can practise without overwhelm.

What children typically practise in Year 1

In maths, Year 1 typically practises counting, number bonds, simple addition and subtraction, and recognising shapes. In English, the focus is phonics, letter formation, reading familiar words, and writing short sentences with basic punctuation.

Maths topics

  • Number bonds to 10
  • Counting and place value to 20
  • Simple addition and subtraction
  • Shapes and patterns

English topics

  • Phonics: CVC words
  • Letter formation
  • Simple sentence writing
  • Reading familiar words

Revision ideas

  • Revisit number bonds to 10 with part–whole models for five quiet minutes.
  • Blend a short list of CVC words aloud, then write three of them.
  • Trace and write letters that still feel unsteady, then use them in a sentence.

How parents use worksheets

Choose one short sheet, sit beside your child, and celebrate careful thinking rather than speed. Keep sessions brief. Preview the page together first so the task feels familiar.

How tutors use worksheets

Use a Year 1 sheet as a warm-up diagnostic or as targeted practice after teaching a small step. Annotate which bonds or graphemes still need revisiting next lesson.

Year 1 FAQ

How long should a Year 1 worksheet take?
Most of our Year 1 packs are designed for roughly 15–30 minutes, including talking time. Stop sooner if attention fades.
Do Year 1 sheets include percentages or long comprehension?
No. Topics stay age-appropriate: early number, phonics, and simple sentences — not KS2 content dressed up for younger children.
