Halloween Counting - PowerPoint

The Halloween Counting PowerPoint is a delightful educational resource designed for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Maths, which engages children in a festive theme while teaching them essential counting skills. The objective of the lesson is to practice counting, as well as to understand and find one more and one less of a group of objects. The presentation includes a variety of slides where children are prompted to count Halloween-themed items, such as pumpkins, spiders, cats, and bats. The interactive nature of the PowerPoint encourages active participation, ensuring the learning experience is both fun and informative.

Accompanying the PowerPoint are several worksheets which reinforce the concepts taught in the presentation. For example, children are asked to count the number of pumpkins and then determine the number if one more is added. Similarly, they count spiders and calculate the total with one less. These exercises help children to develop their counting abilities as well as basic addition and subtraction skills within a playful, Halloween context. The worksheets cater to various levels of difficulty, providing challenges such as counting objects and determining one more or one less, ensuring that children of different abilities can engage with the material effectively.
