Number 1 - PowerPoint

In this engaging PowerPoint presentation, primary school teachers are equipped with a resource to introduce their pupils to the very foundation of counting: the number 1. The presentation is designed to be interactive and visually stimulating, making the concept of 'one' comprehensible and clear for young learners. The session begins with an introduction to the numerical sequence, emphasizing that the number 1 follows 0 and precedes 2 in the counting order. The children are encouraged to participate by counting aloud the numbers from 0 to 5, with the number 1 being highlighted as the starting point of their numerical journey.

As the lesson unfolds, the children are prompted to count objects that appear on the screen, each time reinforcing the quantity represented by the number 1. To further cement their understanding, the presentation includes a series of slides where groups of objects are displayed, and the pupils are tasked with identifying the group that contains only one object. This interactive activity not only tests their counting skills but also their ability to recognise and select the number 1 in a group setting. Additionally, a worksheet is provided where children can practice writing the number 1 and draw a single square, further solidifying their grasp of the concept. The repetitive and hands-on nature of the activities ensures that the children can confidently identify and use the number 1 in both written and practical contexts.
