Build essential early maths confidence with the Year One Maths Activities collection from Hands-On Education. Made for ages 5–6, this collection features practical lesson packs and printable resources designed to help young mathematicians explore, practise, and master foundational maths skills in a fun and meaningful way.

Step-by-step resources cover counting, number bonds, place value, addition and subtraction, simple multiplication, measurement, time, money, patterns, 2D and 3D shapes, and comparing or sorting objects. Each activity uses concrete objects, visual prompts, and playful games to bring maths to life—inviting learners to measure with toys, create shape collages, group colourful objects by size, and investigate early problem-solving challenges.

Activities integrate with children’s everyday experiences. Games and puzzles strengthen rapid recall and reasoning; role-play activities use shopping or cooking to reinforce understanding; and hands-on projects develop the language and logic of maths in a cross-curricular way. There are ideas for indoor and outdoor learning, class tasks, small group investigation, and home-based practice—each with clear instructions and options for differentiation.

Maths is made less abstract and more relevant by connecting tasks with art, science, and stories: children may chart weather with tally sticks, use shape stamps in art lessons, or act out maths stories together. Designed by educational experts, the resources provide plenty of scaffolded practice and opportunities for mastery throughout the year.

Explore the Year One Maths Activities shop collection for an engaging variety of numeracy experiences—giving every child a solid start in maths that is visual, hands-on, and full of discovery. All packs are teacher-friendly, adaptable, and ready for learning at home or in the classroom.
