Class 1 Maths Worksheets with Answers (Grade 1) - Free PDF 2026-27

These Class 1 Maths worksheets follow NCERT’s Joyful Mathematics book chapter for chapter, so nothing on this page asks a five- or six-year-old for more than this year actually expects. Every sheet stays inside numbers to 99, addition and subtraction within 20 with bridging ten, multiplication said aloud as “6 times 3” rather than written with a × sign, and money to ₹100. Each worksheet prints cleanly, carries a full answer key alongside the questions, and downloads as a PDF for the 2026-27 session.

Download PDF - Class 1 Numbers to 99 Worksheet, with the answer key on the last page

This worksheet is built for a child who already recognises single-digit numbers and is now stretching into the tens - reading, writing and comparing numbers up to 99 the way NCERT’s Joyful Mathematics introduces them, through what comes before, between and after rather than isolated digit drills.

  • Write the number that comes just before or just after a given number, up to 99.
  • Find a missing number that sits between two given numbers.
  • Compare two two-digit numbers and identify the greater one.

While your child works

  • Keep real objects nearby - buttons, matchsticks, coins - for any number your child hesitates over rather than letting her guess.
  • This sheet never asks for a number above 99, in line with the Class 1 syllabus. There is no need to extend it to hundreds.
  • If before/after questions are shaky, a printed 1–99 number strip on the wall helps far more than repeating the worksheet.

Open the Numbers to 99 worksheet on its own page

Class 1 Maths - the guide

What do these Class 1 Maths worksheets cover?

NCERT’s current Class 1 book is Joyful Mathematics, and every worksheet on this page is built strictly inside its scope - nothing borrowed from an older syllabus or a private publisher’s heavier idea of what “Class 1” should include.

  • Numbers to 99 - reading, writing, and comparing, with before/after and between questions rather than isolated digit drills.
  • Addition and subtraction within 20 - including sums that bridge through ten, such as 8 + 5, worked mentally rather than in a written column.
  • Multiplication as a spoken idea - “6 times 3”, built from groups of real objects. The × symbol does not appear anywhere on this page.
  • Money to ₹100 - recognising notes and coins and finding totals, with no paise involved.
  • Shapes, patterns and daily routine - naming everyday 2D shapes, continuing a repeating pattern, and ordering the events of a day without a clock face.

Five worksheets sit below, one for each of these strands, and each one is a complete, printable page in its own right - not a single generic sheet reused with different numbers.

How to use these worksheets at home

A worksheet works best as the last step of a short lesson, not the first. Before printing anything, spend a few minutes with real objects - coins for the money sheet, buttons or beads for the addition and multiplication sheets - so a number on paper always refers back to something a child has actually counted.

  1. Print one worksheet at a time. Fifteen to twenty minutes is enough for a Class 1 child; a longer session tends to produce careless mistakes, not more learning.
  2. Let your child attempt every item before checking anything, including the ones she seems unsure about. Guessing and self-correcting are both useful here.
  3. Check against the answer key together, out loud, rather than silently marking it for her. Ask her to explain one or two answers in her own words.
  4. If a whole exercise is wrong, go back to objects before trying the sheet again - the mistake is almost always in the concept, not the arithmetic.

There is no strict order to work through the five sheets. Numbers to 99 is the gentlest starting point if your child is new to structured worksheets; the money sheet is the most demanding, since it asks for both addition and comparison in the same question.

Numbers, addition and subtraction in Class 1

Class 1 numbers stop at 99 - not 100, and certainly nothing beyond it. Counting, reading and comparing two-digit numbers is the year’s main number-sense goal, and it is met through real groups of objects long before it is met through digits alone.

Addition and subtraction stay within 20 for the entire year. A sum such as 8 + 5, which crosses over ten, is not avoided - NCERT calls this bridging ten, and it is worked with counters or a number line: 8 + 5 becomes 8 + 2 + 3, or 10 + 3. What Class 1 never does is carry a digit in a written column. That formal method, which NCERT calls regrouping rather than carrying, is introduced only in Class 4, once numbers reach into the thousands.

What Class 1 doesWhat Class 1 does not do
Bridge through ten mentally: 9 + 4 = 9 + 1 + 3Carry a digit above a written column
Add and subtract within 20Add or subtract numbers above 20
Compare two numbers up to 99Work with three-digit numbers

Multiplication and money without the × sign or paise

Multiplication in Class 1 is entirely spoken. A child builds groups of real objects - six groups of three buttons, say - and says what she has made: “6 times 3”. The × symbol is never used in Class 1; it is introduced only once, in Class 3, after tables have been built up gradually across Class 2. There is no division of any kind in Class 1 - not even simple sharing of sweets between friends. That idea opens the following year.

Money follows a similarly careful ceiling: Class 1 works with notes and coins up to ₹100, recognising denominations and adding simple totals. Paise is not part of Class 1 - it is the only concept that arrives later than a parent might expect, since Class 2 is the sole primary year that uses paise at all.

Both strands are deliberately narrow. A child who has not yet met × or paise is not behind; she has simply not reached the class those ideas belong to.

Printing, answer keys and tracking progress

Every worksheet on this page includes a full, checked answer key, printed separately from the questions so a child can attempt the sheet without seeing the answers first. Each PDF is formatted to fit a single page cleanly, with enough space to write by hand.

Since these worksheets are refreshed for the 2026-27 session, the numbers and wording stay current with NCERT’s live Joyful Mathematics textbook rather than an older, withdrawn edition. If your child works through all five sheets comfortably, that is a reasonable sign she has covered the arithmetic strands of the Class 1 syllabus; the shape, pattern and daily-routine sheet covers the rest.

For a child who needs more structured, ongoing support than a printed sheet can give, Class 1 Maths online tuition covers the same NCERT scope in small weekly sessions. Families wanting fresh, generated practice beyond these five fixed sheets can also try the maths worksheet generator.

Questions parents ask

Class 1 Maths worksheets - your questions

Does this include an answer key?

Yes. Every worksheet on this page has a complete answer key, checked twice for accuracy, printed on its own section separate from the questions.

Is this printable?

Yes. Each worksheet is formatted to print cleanly on a single page with enough room for a child to write answers by hand.

Can I download this as a PDF?

Yes. Every worksheet on this page is available as a free PDF download, including the answer key, ready for the 2026-27 session.

Which NCERT book do these Class 1 Maths worksheets follow?

Joyful Mathematics, the current NCERT textbook for Class 1. All five worksheets stay strictly inside its thirteen chapters.

Do these worksheets use the × or ÷ sign?

No. Class 1 meets multiplication only as spoken language, such as “6 times 3”, and does not touch division in any form. Both symbols are introduced only from Class 3 onward.

Does Class 1 addition involve carrying or borrowing?

No. Every sum stays within 20 and is worked by bridging through ten, not by carrying a digit in a written column. Formal carrying - which NCERT calls regrouping - starts in Class 4.

Is there any division worksheet for Class 1?

No, and there should not be one. Class 1 has no division at all, not even simple sharing. Equal sharing begins in Class 2.

How much money does the Class 1 syllabus cover?

Up to ₹100, using notes and coins only. Paise is not part of Class 1 - it appears only in Class 2, the sole primary year that uses it.

Are these worksheets updated for the current 2026-27 session?

Yes. The worksheets and this page were last checked on 27 July 2026 and reflect NCERT’s live Joyful Mathematics textbook, not an older withdrawn edition.

Which board or curriculum do these worksheets follow?

CBSE schools and other boards that prescribe NCERT books. These worksheets are built directly from NCERT's Joyful Mathematics, so they suit any school using that textbook.
