1st Grade Math Quiz
15 questions · free · new questions every attempt · Updated September 26, 2026
First grade is where addition and subtraction become fluent and place value appears for the first time. Children learn that a two-digit number is made of tens and ones and start skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s. These questions follow that path and explain every answer afterwards.
What this quiz covers
- Adding within 20
- Subtracting within 20
- Identifying the tens digit of a two-digit number
- Counting how many tens are in a number like 60
- Comparing two-digit numbers
- Skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s
How to prepare
Number bonds help enormously: knowing that 7 is 3 + 4 or 5 + 2 makes both addition and subtraction quicker. Practise “making ten” (8 + 5 is 8 + 2 + 3) and count in tens on a hundreds chart. After each attempt, read the explanation for anything missed and have your child say it in their own words.
