CBSE Class 1 Maths Syllabus 2025-26

Class 1 Maths covers shapes, numbers up to 99, addition, subtraction and measurement. The curriculum builds a strong foundation in numerical operations, logical thinking and spatial understanding.

a) Shapes and Spatial Understanding

b) Solids Around Us

• Collects objects from the surroundings having different sizes and shapes like pebbles, boxes, balls, cones, pipes,
  etc.
• Sorts, Classifies and describes the objects on the basis of shapes, and other observable properties.
• Observes and describes the way shapes affect movements like rolling and sliding.
• Sorts 2 – D shapes such as flat objects made of card etc.

a) Developing a sense of Numberness, Counting and Operations of Numbers 1-9 and Zero

• Observes object and makes collections of objects.
• Arranges the collection of objects in order by
  – Matching and
  – One to one correspondence
• Counts the number of objects in a collection.
• Makes collection of objects corresponding to a specific number.
• Recognises and speaks numbers from 1 to 9.
• Uses numbers from 1 to 9 in counting and comparison. (Real objects and repeated events like clapping to be used for counting)
• Reads and writes numerals from 1 to 9.
• Adds and subtracts using real objects and pictures.
• Adds and subtracts the numbers using symbols ‘+’ and ‘-’.
• Approaches zero through the subtraction pattern (such as 3 – 1 = 2, 3 – 2 = 1, 3 – 3 = 0).

b) Numbers from (10 – 20)

• Forms Number sequence from 10 to 20.
• Counts objects using these numbers.
• Groups objects into a group of 10s and single objects.
• Develops the vocabulary of group of ‘tens’ and ‘ones’.
• Shows the group of tens and ones by drawing.
• Counts the number of tens and ones in a given number.
• Writes the numerals for eleven to nineteen.
• Writes numerals for ten and twenty.
• Compares numbers upto 20.

c) Addition And Subtraction (Upto 20)

d) Numbers from 21 – 99

• Writes numerals for Twenty-one to Ninety nine. Groups objects into tens and ones.
• Draws representation for groups of ten and ones.
• Groups a number orally into tens and ones.

e) Mental Arithmetic

a) Length

• Distinguishes between near, far, thin, thick, longer/taller, shorter, high, low.
• Seriates objects by comparing their length.
• Measures short lengths in terms of non-uniform units (in the context of games e.g. ‘Gilli Danda’ and ‘marblegames’).
• Estimates distance and length, and verifies using nonuniform units (e.g. hand span etc.)

b) Weight

c) Time

• Distinguishes between events occurring in time using terms -earlier and later.
• Gets the qualitative feel of long & short duration, of school days v/s holidays.
• Narrates the sequence of events in a day.

Patterns (10 hrs.)

• Describes sequences of simple patterns found in shapes in the surroundings and in numbers, e.g. stamping
  activity using fingers and thumb.
• Completes a given sequence of simple patterns found in shapes in the surroundings and in numbers.
