Number bonding
Add using number bonds
Add lengths
One step problems
Matching additions
Word problems
1st grade addition teaches you about Number bonding for pairs of numbers. There are topics for bonding pairs of numbers to 10, 15, 20 and 25. This idea is extended in "Add using number bonds" where you apply what you learnt to add pairs of numbers that bond to those values. In "Add lengths" you learn how to add together measurements made in centimetres or metres using a ruler or scale. In the "One step problems" topics you are asked to identify the missing number or missing answer in addition sums. In "Matching additions" you get to compare addition sums and decide which ones give the same answer. Word problems ask you to work out the total cost of buying 2 or 3 different items.
Number bonding to 10
Identify the number pairs that bond to 10
Number bonding to 20
Identify the number pairs that bond to 20
Number bonding to 15
Identify the number pairs that bond to 15
Number bonding to 25
Identify the number pairs that bond to 25
Number bonds: add 1-digit + 2-digits
Use number bonding to add a single-digit number and a double-digit number
Add 2 double-digit numbers
Use number bonding to add 2 double-digit numbers
Add 3 two-digit numbers
Use number bonding to add 3 double-digit numbers together
Add centimetres
Use the scales to add up the lengths in centimetres
Add metres
Use the scales to add up the lengths in metres
Missing number: double-digit numbers
What is the missing number in these double-digit plus double-digit addition sums
Missing answer: double-digit numbers
Work out the missing answer in these double-digit plus double-digit addition sums
Match additions: single-digit numbers
From 3 single-digit plus single-digit additions, choose the pair of sums that give the same answer
Match additions: single plus double-digits
From three 1-digit plus 2-digit additions, choose the pair of sums that give the same answer
One person has more items
Use addition to find out how many items there are in total
Total cost: 2 items
Use addition to find out how much the 2 items cost in total
Total cost: 3 items
Use addition to find out how much the 3 items cost in total
A topic is selected at the beginning of a session at Free Math Games and will be remembered when you move between games or activities. The math for the topic is carefully constructed to match the elementary math level commonly taught in US schools. This means that you as an elementary pupil should see similar math problems to those you are seeing at school (if you are at school) for any particular subject. Please let us know if that is not the case.
See the help box below for instructions on choosing a topic here at Free Math Games.
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
Click on the "1. Start" button in the top navigation bar - that brings you to this elementary level topic selection page. On the topic selection page you will see that the topics are divided up:
Since you are currently within the elementary section of Free Math Games you will see the elementary topics. The elementary grades will have loaded. Choose your grade. The broad categories available will load. Click on a category to see the available sub-categories and topics.
For example, if you choose fifth grade, then the category: "Fractions" you will be offered a choice of fraction sub-categories and topics suitable for Grade 5. Click on each sub-category to view the available topics.
When you click on the name of a topic, the topic will load into the lesson page (once a topic has loaded it will be available for all activities and will not have to be downloaded again) and the lesson start page will be displayed. You can choose to do the lesson or jump immediately to the games using that topic.
