Farm-themed word problems for Year 1 maths. Pupils add ducks at the pond, subtract the carrots the goats eat, then work with pence at the farm shop, including a question where they check whether Leo's reasoning is correct. Worked answers are included. The problems match the England National Curriculum objective on solving one-step addition and subtraction problems.
