About the KS1 Problem Solving Workbook 1 (Ages 5-7)

KS1 Problem Solving Workbook 1 (Ages 5-7) helps children moving from Reception to Year 2 turn everyday situations into maths practice. Whether your child is just starting Key Stage 1 or already working through it, this progressive workbook applies counting, addition, subtraction, money, time, shapes, weight and capacity to real-life scenarios—so maths starts making sense beyond the classroom.

Sample page showing a sweet shop money problem with illustrated sweets and price labels
Real-life problem solving: children calculate how much they spent at the sweet shop each day using addition and pence amounts.

Every exercise is framed around familiar contexts—shopping trips, telling the time, comparing lengths and sorting shapes—so your child practises the skills they need whilst solving problems that feel relevant. The step-by-step structure builds confidence page by page, covering addition and subtraction to 20, counting money and calculating change, days of the week, 2-D shapes, weight and capacity. Full answers are included inside the book, making it easy for you to check work together and tackle any tricky questions on the spot.

Contents page listing 31 problem-solving activities covering money, time, shapes, measurement and data handling
Comprehensive curriculum coverage: 31 clearly organised activities aligned to the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 maths objectives.

Your child gains the problem-solving strategies that underpin the English National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 maths, alongside the fluency to apply number skills in everyday situations. Published by Schofield and Sims, this workbook supports steady progress for pupils aged five to seven, whether they need extra practice, homework support, or a confidence boost before tackling the next year group. Fast UK delivery is available so you can start straight away.

This single workbook is ideal for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils who are ready to move beyond rote arithmetic and see how maths works in the real world. The progressive approach suits both home and school use, giving children the practice they need to become confident, independent problem solvers.

  • Addition and subtraction to 20, with missing-number and word problems
  • Money skills: counting coins, calculating change from 10p and 20p, adding and subtracting pence
  • Time and measurement: estimating time, days of the week, comparing length, weight and capacity
  • 2-D shapes, data handling and sorting activities tied to real-life contexts
  • Full answers included inside the workbook for quick checking and guided support
