Christmas Counting - PowerPoint

In an engaging Christmas-themed PowerPoint presentation, Teacher of Primary has created a set of maths teaching resources focused on Christmas Counting. The aim of the lesson is to practice counting skills and the recognition of numbers in both numeric and word forms. As the slides progress, students are presented with images of Christmas puddings, and they are tasked with counting the number of puddings displayed on each slide. This festive approach to learning helps to maintain the children's interest while reinforcing their counting abilities during the holiday season.

Each slide features a different number of Christmas puddings, ranging from one to ten, and alongside the images, the corresponding number is written in both digit and word format to aid in number-word recognition. To further consolidate their learning, children are provided with a Christmas Counting Worksheet where they count the puddings and circle the correct answer from a given list of numbers written in words. The activity concludes with a colouring task where students count the decorations on a Christmas tree and write their answer in a box, allowing for a creative and interactive end to the lesson. The PowerPoint is designed to be a fun and educational tool for young learners to develop their counting and number recognition skills during the festive period.
