Free practice quizzes › Year 1 Maths quiz › Addition & subtraction to 20
Year 1 addition and subtraction covers combining and separating collections, number bonds to ten and twenty, counting on and counting back, doubles and near doubles, and simple worded problems. The Victorian Curriculum wants children to use a strategy and to read the equals sign as meaning the same as.
This topic sits inside the Victorian Curriculum for Year 1 maths; the questions stay at the easy and at-level tiers so the result is a fair check of the foundations.
The distractors in this quiz are built from real misconceptions rather than random wrong numbers, so a specific wrong answer usually points to a specific gap. The ones we see most at Year 1:
Each of these is fixable in a session or two once it has been named, which is why the results panel below shows the correct answer and an explanation rather than just a score.
The habits that move addition and subtraction to 20 from shaky to secure at Year 1:
At this age, ten minutes of playful, concrete practice beats a worksheet. Use real objects, talk through what is happening and stop while it is still fun.
The 10 questions are drawn from 10 eligible items on addition and subtraction to 20 in our Year 1 maths bank, including some stretch-tier questions so there are enough to make a full set. The selection is fixed for this address so a shared link shows the same quiz; press New set of questions or add ?seed= to the address for a different mix. Options are shuffled, no two questions share a stem, and the answer key is fetched from our server only after you submit, so it is not hidden in the page.
A single-topic quiz is more precise than a mixed one: if the score here is low, the gap is in addition and subtraction to 20, not somewhere in Year 1 maths generally. It is still short, though, and it cannot show how a student copes with the stretch and challenge questions that decide a top result. That is what the free Skills Check adds.

Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in addition and subtraction to 20 are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
