Halloween Counting to 20 - Worksheet

This worksheet, ideal for primary school children, is designed to help young learners practice their counting skills up to the number 20, with a fun Halloween theme. The first part of the worksheet focuses on counting forwards and asks students to fill in the missing numbers in a sequence. The sequences are presented with some numbers already in place, such as '0, 1' and '17, 18', while others have gaps that need to be filled, like '8, 10' and '5, 7'. This exercise encourages children to understand the order of numbers and to identify which numbers come next in a sequence.

The second part of the worksheet shifts the focus to counting backwards, which is a slightly more challenging skill. The students are given a number sequence that decreases and are required to identify and fill in the missing numbers that would complete the pattern. Examples provided include '4, 3' and '20, 18', with some sequences having one or two numbers missing. Additionally, there is an activity where children must spot and colour the mistakes in given number sequences and then write the correct number in an empty circle provided. This task helps reinforce number order and the concept of counting forwards and backwards, while also developing attention to detail and error correction skills.
