Common Year 1 maths mistakes these topics target
These come from the mistakes BrightHop’s own Year 1 lessons are written to address. They describe what the lessons teach, not a measured result.
- Difference between quantities: Adds the two numbers instead of finding the difference.
- Skip counting: Counts on by 1 instead of skipping.
- Comparing length: Compares where objects end, not how long they are.
Year 1 maths test: questions parents ask
Is there a free Year 1 maths test online?
Yes. This Year 1 maths test is free during beta and needs no account or email address.
How long is the Year 1 maths test?
It has 10 questions and takes about 6 minutes. The questions are drawn from 38 Year 1 maths topics, including Counting carefully, Biggest and smallest and First, second, third.
What does the result show?
It shows which skills your child answered confidently and which may need more practice, with a suggested next step. A few questions give a pointer, not a conclusion, so repeat it on another day before you decide.
Is this the NAPLAN test?
No. NAPLAN is the national test for Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 students, so Year 1 students do not sit it. This is a short BrightHop check of Year 1 maths, not an exam or a school grade.
Is it a formal assessment or a school grade?
No. It is a short, informal check made by BrightHop. It does not replace a teacher’s assessment and it does not give a school grade or a score against other children.
Can my child take it more than once?
Yes. The questions change each time, so the check can be retaken.
What should I do if my child finds it hard?
Look at the skills marked as needing practice, then try a shorter topic check on one of them. Ask your child to explain their answers out loud; the way they explain a mistake often shows what is missing.
