Full Grade 1 test

The number before a given number is one smaller. Subtract 1, or take one step backwards while counting.

For example, 5 comes before 6 because 6 − 1 = 5.

Look closely at the sides and corners of the shape.

• A circle is round, with no straight sides or corners.
• A triangle has 3 sides and 3 corners.
• A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
• The oblong rectangle shown has 2 long sides, 2 short sides and 4 right angles.

Read the property in the question and find the shape that matches it.

First find which object the question asks about. Then read where it is: on the left or on the right.

Answer about the object named in the question. It may be either of the two objects.

Look closely at the sides and corners of the shape.

• A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.
• The oblong rectangle shown has 2 long sides, 2 short sides and 4 right angles.

Choose the name that matches the shape shown.

Start at F and move the same number of squares in the opposite direction. Read the number of the starting square.

Think about what is being measured and choose suitable units.

• Centimetres suit the length of a pencil.
• Kilometres suit a long road.
• Kilograms suit the mass of a watermelon.
• Litres suit the amount of water in a bucket.
• Euros describe the price of a toy.
• Minutes describe the duration of a lesson.

Find the object or quantity asked about in the question.

All blocks stand on the same baseline. Find the shortest, then the middle-sized block, and finally the tallest.

Begin drawing at the chosen starting point. Then draw towards the other point.

First subtract the second number from the first. Then find the equation with the same result after =.

Check by adding: the result plus the number taken away must give the starting number.

Try the first arrow from S. Reject it if it leads to the rock or outside the grid. Then check the second step.

The blank shows how much was taken away, and the number after = shows how much remains.

1. Subtract the amount remaining from the starting number.
2. Put the result in the blank.
3. Check: subtracting your answer from the starting number must give the remainder shown.

Find the house in the middle. Use up, down, left and right as shown on the page.

Compare the first two numbers: this sequence adds 2 at each step.

Add 2 to the second number to find the missing number. Adding another 2 must give the last number shown.

Count in order from the first number, adding 1 each time. One number is missing between the two shown numbers.

For example, 2, __, 4 is missing 3. Check that the last shown number comes after your answer.

Match the stated direction with an arrow. Left and right are opposites, as are up and down.
