Make mental maths meaningful and manageable with our Year 1 Mental Maths Daily 5 POWERPOINT – a comprehensive set of 100 individual lessons designed to build fluency, accuracy and confidence in number facts and foundational maths skills. Aligned to the Australian Year 1 Mathematics Curriculum, this resource provides five short questions per day, making it perfect for warm-ups, daily routines, revision or independent maths tasks. With a total of 500 questions across the set, this PowerPoint is your go-to solution for consistent, curriculum-linked practice.

Want to streamline your daily maths block? Simply project the PowerPoint on your interactive whiteboard and work through each slide as a class. Each lesson features five questions covering a range of key skills including addition, subtraction, place value, number patterns, money, time and measurement. Students can record their answers using whiteboards, maths journals or the accompanying Year 1 Mental Maths Recording Sheets for structured practice. The predictable format helps students develop routine and confidence while encouraging fast thinking and number flexibility.

The Year 1 Mental Maths Daily 5 POWERPOINT is presented with four lessons per slide, allowing you to easily display one per day across the week. This setup is ideal for classroom planning and weekly scheduling. Whether used first thing in the morning, as a maths warm-up before explicit teaching, or to wrap up a lesson with quick-fire review, this PowerPoint gives students multiple opportunities to practise core concepts in a low-stakes format that builds success over time.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Develop fluency in addition and subtraction within 20

4. Encourage students to track their own progress using the recording sheets.
5. Repeat daily to build routine and reinforce key skills throughout the term.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use as a maths warm-up at the start of each day
• 💡 Incorporate into maths rotations for independent or guided practice
• 💡 Display one set per day and revisit tricky questions as a class
• 💡 Use in conjunction with your maths focus wall to reinforce key concepts
• 💡 Challenge fast finishers to explain their strategies or create their own questions

Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Print the recording sheets double-sided to minimise paper use across the term
• 💛 Allow think-pair-share time before reviewing answers for collaborative discussion
• 💛 Encourage students to self-assess their answers to build ownership of learning
• 💛 Highlight question types linked to current units (e.g. money or time) for reinforcement
• 💛 Use different coloured markers for correcting or improving answers
