Free maths game for Year 1 — read number sentences with +, − and =, spot which one is true, and work out the missing number. Matched to the national curriculum. No account needed.

About Make It True

Read and interpret addition, subtraction and equality statements; find a missing number on either side of the equals sign. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Read and interpret addition, subtraction and equality statements; find a missing number on either side of the equals sign.

Curriculum anchor: Reading and interpreting the Year 1 number-statement objective; writing number sentences independently needs separate practice.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask the learner to read = as has the same value as, then write a number sentence of their own on paper. Take a break when you need one.
