Cats on the Broom - PowerPoint

'Cats on the Broom' is an engaging Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Maths teaching resource designed to help young learners practise counting up to 10, as well as to understand the concepts of finding one more or one less than a given number. This whimsical resource uses the theme of cats riding on a broom to capture children's interest and make learning fun. The PowerPoint presentation prompts students to count the number of cats on each broom depicted on the slides, providing a visual and interactive way to reinforce their counting skills.

The resource includes a series of worksheets that complement the PowerPoint presentation. These worksheets challenge children to count the cats on each broom and then calculate how many there would be if one more cat joined the ride, or conversely, if one cat left the broom, thus practising the concept of one less. The exercises are designed to help students develop their numerical fluency and build a solid foundation in basic arithmetic operations. Additionally, answer sheets are provided to facilitate easy marking and to allow children to check their work. This resource offers a playful and educational experience for young learners to enhance their early maths skills.
