Math paths are a favorite in Grade 1. The child starts at the yellow circle, does the step on the arrow and moves on, like a journey. It practices adding and subtracting in a row without feeling like one more page of problems.
You can choose paths where the numbers in the circles are missing, paths where the numbers are known and the child works out the step on the arrow (from 4 to 9 is +5), or a mix of both for children who are already confident.
Frequently asked questions
What is a math path?
A chain of circles joined by arrows. Each arrow shows a step (+3, −2) and the child works from circle to circle. Some paths ask for the numbers, and some ask for the missing step on the arrow.
Which grade are the paths for?
Paths within 10 suit Grade 1 from the start of the year. Paths within 20 suit the middle and end of Grade 1, and review in Grade 2.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Tick "Add an answer key" and every sheet is followed by the completed paths, with the answers in color.
