1st Grade Worksheets

What first graders learn in math

First grade math moves from counting to real computation. The worksheets in this hub cover the skills most first-grade classrooms teach, each with an original PDF and a complete answer key:

• Addition and subtraction within 20 — addition facts to 10 and 20, missing addends, making ten, doubles, and true-or-false equations.
• Place value and comparing numbers — tens and ones, ten more and ten less, and comparing and ordering numbers.
• Fact families and word problems — seeing how addition and subtraction are related, and solving simple word problems.
• Measurement and data — comparing length, tally charts, picture graphs, and bar graphs.
• Telling time and skip counting — telling time to the hour and half hour, and counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s.
• Fractions and geometry — halves and fourths, and naming 2D shapes.

What first graders learn in reading

In reading, first graders grow from sounding out words to reading sentences and short passages. This hub includes practice for the skills that matter most in first grade:

• Sight words — high-frequency words read automatically.
• Phonics and word building — digraphs, compound words, and word families.
• Parts of speech — nouns, verbs, and action words.
• Reading comprehension — short original passages with text-based questions.

Every reading page pairs a clean printable with an answer key, so it works for homework, centers, tutoring, and homeschool.

How to use these 1st grade worksheets

For homework, print one math and one reading page and spend about twenty minutes total. Start by reading the directions together, then let your child work independently before checking with the answer key. In the classroom, the worksheets fit morning work, math and literacy centers, and early finishers. If your child finds a skill tricky, drop to the previous grade’s hub or use the easier version of the skill listed on each page.
