The starter test for Addition & Subtraction. Twelve questions covering basic recall: reading + and = symbols, single-step adding and subtracting numbers to 20, and number bonds to 10. Every wrong answer shows an explanation so the child learns from each one. Takes about 5 minutes.
Aim for 70% before moving to the Main test. If a child scores below 50%, return to the worksheet and games first.
The schoolbook-depth Main test. Eighteen questions across the full breadth of the KS1 addition and subtraction programme of study: reading number sentences, fact families, number bonds to 10 and 20, two-digit calculations, missing-number problems (e.g. 8 + □ = 14), commutativity, and one-step word problems.
Designed to mirror what children meet in school-issued workbooks. Pass mark is 70%. Detailed explanations on every question — wrong answers teach.
The stretch test for confident children. Fifteen questions that push beyond schoolbook level: two-step word problems, bridging through 10 (e.g. 8 + 5 = 8 + 2 + 3), finding missing numbers in the middle of a sentence, applying addition and subtraction across measures (money, mass, length), and reasoning about what makes a calculation easier.
Pass mark is 60% — this test is harder than the Main test on purpose. Don’t worry about lower scores; this is where deep understanding shows.
A 60-second timed challenge: number bonds to 10 flash up one after another, child types the answer. Tracks correct/total/time and reports to the progress tracker. Best-of-N: keeps your personal best across sessions.
A 12-question quiz mixing Year 1 and Year 2 difficulty, including bond recall, missing-number reasoning, regrouping and word problems. Tracks best-of-N personal best.
A 4-slide e-learning guide aimed at parents (NOT the child). Covers: what schools expect by end of Year 1 and Year 2, common stumbling blocks, three quick games to play at home with no equipment, and signs your child might need extra support.
A 16-card deck. Cards 1-8 cover number bonds to 10 (the foundational facts every KS1 child must know by heart). Cards 9-16 cover bonds to 20. Front: a partial sum. Back: the answer and a quick way to remember it.
