Counting in 5s to 50 - PowerPoint

In a set of engaging maths teaching resources, Year 1 students are introduced to the concept of skip counting in 5s up to the number 50. This foundational number and place value skill is presented through a PowerPoint that guides children through the sequence of numbers, starting from 5 and adding 5 more at each step to reach the final number, 50. The sequence is laid out as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50, allowing students to visualise the pattern and understand the process of skip counting. The resource encourages students to practice this skill by predicting the next number in the sequence, reinforcing their understanding of addition in increments of five.

To further solidify their learning, students are provided with worksheets where they must identify the next number in a given sequence, continuing the pattern of counting in 5s. These activities are designed to help children recognise and follow the pattern of numbers, making it a fun and interactive learning experience. The resources also include a maze worksheet, where students have to navigate from the start to the finish by colouring squares in multiples of 5, moving up, down, and diagonally to reach the number 50. This innovative approach not only teaches numerical sequences but also engages students in a problem-solving exercise that combines maths with a touch of creativity.
