Our math topics for 1st grade learners are designed to follow closely the Common Core standards for math for 1st grade pupils.
Our Multiplication topics for 1st grade teach multiplication facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables. The "Progressive method" of multiplication is introduced. Counting in steps of 2, 3 and 10 are used to connect multiplication to repeat addition. In the "Number machine" sub-category 2 step problems combine simple, single digit multiplication with addition and subtraction.
Doubling numbers to 10
Calculate the number that is double the given number
Repeat additions
Which repeat addition gives the same answer as the multiplication?
Count in steps of 2 or 3
Use counting in steps to work out simple multiplications of 2 or 3
Count in steps of 10
Use counting in steps to work out simple multiplications of 10
Multiplication of 2 units
Use times tables or repeated addition to calculate these multiplications of 2 single-digit numbers
Progressive method
Progressive method: choose the addition sum that gives the same answer as the multiplication
Add then multiply
Work out the answer when you add first and then multiply
Subtract then multiply
Work out the answer when you subtract first and then multiply
Multiply then add
Work out the answer when you multiply first and then add
Multiply then subtract
Work out the answer when you multiply first and then subtract
Multiplying by 10: add zero
Connect multiplying by 10 and place value by adding a zero to the number to be multiplied
2, 5 and 10 times tables
Calculate the answers to these questions from the 2 times, 5 times and 10 times tables
Times tables problems
Choose the missing number for these 2, 5 and 10 times tables multiplication sums
Times tables: match answers
Choose the multiplication that matches the given addition e.g. 5 + 5 = 2 x 5
A topic is selected at the beginning of a session at Free Math Games and will be remembered when you move between games or activities. The math for the topic is carefully constructed to match the elementary math level commonly taught in US schools. This means that you as an elementary pupil should see similar math problems to those you are seeing at school (if you are at school) for any particular subject. Please let us know if that is not the case.
See the help box below for instructions on choosing a topic here at Free Math Games.
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
Click on the "1. Start" button in the top navigation bar - that brings you to this elementary level topic selection page. On the topic selection page you will see that the topics are divided up:
Since you are currently within the elementary section of Free Math Games you will see the elementary topics. The elementary grades will have loaded. Choose your grade. The broad categories available will load. Click on a category to see the available sub-categories and topics.
For example, if you choose fifth grade, then the category: "Fractions" you will be offered a choice of fraction sub-categories and topics suitable for Grade 5. Click on each sub-category to view the available topics.
When you click on the name of a topic, the topic will load into the lesson page (once a topic has loaded it will be available for all activities and will not have to be downloaded again) and the lesson start page will be displayed. You can choose to do the lesson or jump immediately to the games using that topic.
