Counting in 2s to 20 - PowerPoint

In an engaging and interactive lesson aimed at Year 1 pupils, the concept of counting in multiples of 2 up to 20 is introduced. The children are taught to add 2 to the previous number in a sequence, thus understanding the pattern of even numbers. This foundational maths skill is presented in a clear and straightforward manner, with visual aids and activities that encourage students to say the answers out loud and to fill in missing numbers in a sequence. By practising counting in 2s, students develop their number and place value knowledge, which is essential for their mathematical growth.

The resources include various worksheets and a PowerPoint presentation that guide students through the process of counting in 2s. One of the exercises involves a maze where students colour squares as they count from 0 to 20 in multiples of 2, moving up, down, and diagonally. This not only reinforces their counting skills but also makes learning fun and interactive. These teaching resources are designed to help children grasp the concept of counting in 2s, enabling them to recognise patterns in numbers and to build a solid foundation for more complex arithmetic operations in the future.
