Halloween Addition to 10 - PowerPoint

In a themed educational resource, Year 1 students are encouraged to practice their addition skills up to the number 10, with a Halloween twist. The PowerPoint presentation guides the children through the process of using a number line to assist with their addition. The method is straightforward: begin at the first number and count forward by the value of the second number to arrive at the sum. This visual and interactive approach helps to reinforce the concept of addition and provides a clear strategy for young learners to follow.

The resource includes a series of slides with addition problems that the children can solve using the number line. Each slide presents a different sum, inviting students to start at the first number and then move forward by the second number to find the answer. For example, to solve the sum 3 + 2, students would start at 3 on the number line and count two steps forward to reach 5. The PowerPoint also comes with Halloween-themed worksheets where students can apply their addition skills to a variety of sums, ensuring they get plenty of practice with the help of the number line. The answers to these sums are provided, allowing for easy self-assessment or teacher-led review.
