Counting to 20 - PowerPoint

Engaging young minds in the foundational skill of counting is made enjoyable with a PowerPoint presentation that focuses on counting to 20. This resource, aimed at Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) students, is a part of a mathematics teaching suite that emphasises numbers and counting. The presentation is designed to help children practice counting forwards up to the number 20, with a clear learning objective set for the session. To add an element of fun and reinforce the learning, the resource includes a link to a counting song that children can listen to and sing along with, making the acquisition of numerical skills both interactive and entertaining.

As part of the learning process, children are encouraged to count up to 10, and then extend their counting skills up to 20. The PowerPoint slides prompt the children to fill in missing numbers, thereby testing their counting abilities and understanding of number sequences. Additionally, worksheets are provided where children can count objects and write the correct numbers in boxes, ensuring they can associate numerical values with actual quantities. Another creative activity involves colouring fish according to a numbered key, which not only helps in recognising numbers but also in following instructions and developing fine motor skills. This comprehensive approach to teaching numbers up to 20 is crafted to build a solid numerical foundation for young learners.
