Ten in the Bed - PowerPoint

The "Ten in the Bed" PowerPoint is a charming and educational resource designed for early years foundation stage (EYFS) students, focusing on the concept of numbers and counting. In this interactive lesson, children are encouraged to practice counting up to ten and back down again in a fun and engaging way. The lesson starts by posing the question of whether the children can count the teddy bears as they are placed into the bed, creating a visual and interactive counting experience. As the presentation progresses, numbers from zero to ten are introduced one by one, laying the foundation for numerical recognition and sequencing skills.

Further enhancing the learning experience, the resource includes a variety of exercises and activities. Children are invited to count backwards as the teddy bears "fall out" of the bed, reinforcing their counting skills in reverse order. To solidify their understanding, the resource provides worksheets where students can practice adding one more teddy bear to the bed and then subtracting one, allowing them to explore simple addition and subtraction within the context of the story. Additionally, there's a colouring page included, offering a creative outlet to consolidate the numerical concepts learned during the lesson. This resource is not only educational but also ensures that learning about numbers is an enjoyable and memorable experience for young learners.
