Halloween Take Away - PowerPoint

The "Halloween Take Away" PowerPoint is an engaging educational resource, created by Online Teaching Resources Ltd, designed to introduce early years foundation stage (EYFS) students to the concept of subtraction. The slides are themed around Halloween, featuring whimsical illustrations of bats, witches, and brooms to capture the children's interest. The presentation guides young learners through the process of identifying which group has fewer bats and encourages them to colour the broom with fewer witches, making the learning experience interactive and visually stimulating.

As part of the lesson, students are invited to solve subtraction problems, with the slides prompting them to determine how many bats or other Halloween characters remain after taking away one, two, or three from the original number. Each subtraction sum is presented in a clear and simple format, allowing children to click and reveal the answers, reinforcing their understanding of the "take away" concept. The worksheets included in the PowerPoint further support the learning objective, asking students to answer questions and write their answers in the provided boxes, ensuring they actively participate and practice their newfound subtraction skills.
