Halloween Patterns - PowerPoint

A Halloween-themed educational resource is available for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) maths, focusing on recognising and continuing patterns and sequences. This engaging PowerPoint presentation invites children to observe and identify the order in a series of objects, shapes, letters, or numbers. For instance, a sequence may be depicted using alternating expressions on pumpkin faces such as 'grumpy' and 'happy', and students are tasked with determining what comes next. This interactive approach not only makes learning about sequences fun but also helps young learners develop their analytical skills in a festive context.

As part of the learning process, the resource provides various slides with incomplete sequences that the students are encouraged to complete. To further enhance their learning experience, a worksheet accompanies the presentation where children can cut out pictures and select the correct one to complete each given sequence. Additionally, a 'Skeleton Patterns Worksheet' is included, where children can colour skeletons to continue the sequences, making the activity both educational and creatively stimulating. Answers are also provided to facilitate checking and ensure that the learning objectives are met effectively.
