MathsBites provides real maths help
for real families
Your parent guide to maths starts here.
Step-by-step support so you feel ready to guide your child’s maths journey - from day one.
Stage 1, Part A - Year 1
Moving into Year 1 is an exciting leap for your child—and for you as a parent.
The playful beginnings of kindergarten now grow into more structured learning, especially in maths. This is where curiosity meets challenge, and where your support at home can make all the difference.
At MathsBites, we know that parents want to feel confident about how maths is taught in primary school. That’s why we’re here to guide you step by step - showing you the methods teachers use, breaking down tricky concepts, and giving you simple, practical ways to help at home.
Whether this is your first child entering Year 1 or you’ve walked this path before, MathsBites is your companion.
Together, we’ll build your child’s confidence with numbers, nurture problem-solving skills, and make maths feel like a natural part of everyday life.
This is your starting point: a place to understand how maths is taught in Year 1, and to feel confident in helping your child every step of the way.
What your child learns in Stage 1, Part A
Early Stage 1 lays the groundwork for mathematical thinking through hands-on exploration, play-based learning, and real-world connections. This stage is all about building confidence, curiosity, and a love for numbers.
For example:
Number Sense & Place Value: Understanding numbers up to 100, grouping, and partitioning.
Addition & Subtraction Strategies: Using mental strategies, number lines, and concrete materials.
Patterns & Algebra: Recognising and continuing patterns, understanding equality.
Measurement & Geometry: Exploring length, area, volume, and shapes.
Data & Probability: Collecting, organising, and interpreting simple data
and this is just the start.
MathsBites videos walk you through these concepts using the same language and methods taught in classrooms right across Australia.
