Parent questions

Year 1 Maths Test NSW FAQs

Why are number bonds to 10 important?

They help children see number relationships and support later mental addition and subtraction.

Is 28 + 9 too difficult for Year 1?

It is an extension-style question. Children can use a number line or make a ten, and the result should be treated diagnostically.

Should my child complete all 30 questions at once?

No. Two shorter sessions can work better for many Year 1 students.
