Where can I download the NCERT Class 1 Maths book PDF?
Updated July 2026
NCERT Class 1 Maths moves from number sense and basic operations toward reasoning, patterns, and the first steps of algebra and geometry. The book is built around worked examples and graded exercises, so practice is what turns a method into a skill. Below you will find each chapter as its own PDF, the full textbook in a single download, and notes that break down the harder steps. Because the material follows the official CBSE syllabus, solving these exercises is the most direct preparation for Class 1 school exams and later board work.
