Addition & Subtraction Activity Book (Ages 5-6)

About the Addition & Subtraction Activity Book for Ages 5-6 (Year 1)

When your Year 1 child is learning to add and subtract for the first time, you need practice materials that make numbers feel friendly rather than frightening. This Addition & Subtraction Activity Book for Ages 5-6 (Year 1) from CGP turns essential maths skills into colourful, engaging activities that hold a five- or six-year-old's attention while building the mental arithmetic foundations they will rely on throughout primary school and beyond.

Each page uses clear explanations, cheerful illustrations, and carefully graded questions to guide your child from simple counting through to problem solving with confidence. The book covers all the addition and subtraction objectives in the English National Curriculum for Year 1, so you can be certain every session moves your child forward without gaps or confusion. Practical word problems—themed around everyday scenarios like toys, animals, and snacks—help young learners see how numbers work in the real world, reinforcing both calculation speed and logical thinking.

As your child works through the activities, you will notice them tackling sums more quickly, explaining their methods with pride, and volunteering answers during homework time instead of hesitating. Regular practice with this workbook builds the fluency and number sense that underpin every future maths topic, from times tables to fractions. Because the layout is uncluttered and the progression is gentle, even children who find numbers tricky can experience small wins every session—and those wins add up to lasting confidence.

This workbook suits any Year 1 pupil who is beginning formal addition and subtraction, whether you are supporting classroom learning at home, filling holiday time with productive fun, or gently reinforcing concepts that have not yet clicked. The book is a physical product delivered to your door, ready to slot into your routine without screens or subscriptions—just colourful pages, a pencil, and a few minutes of focused practice each day.
