Counting in 7s - PowerPoint

In a vibrant and interactive PowerPoint presentation, Year 4 students are invited to practise their skills in counting in sevens, with an aim to reach the number 84. The concept is introduced by explaining that counting in 7s involves adding seven to the previous number in the sequence. This foundational step is illustrated with a clear example, where students see the numbers 7, 14, 21, and so on, sequentially increasing by 7s. The presentation encourages group participation with a collective counting exercise, starting from zero and proceeding with increments of seven, all the way up to 84, ensuring that the concept is both understood and memorised.

To reinforce the learning and check understanding, the presentation includes a series of timed challenges where students must quickly identify the missing number in a sequence of numbers counting in 7s. This engaging activity not only solidifies the students' ability to count by sevens but also enhances their quick-thinking skills. Additionally, the PowerPoint offers a fun and educational worksheet where students help a character named Rover find his bone by counting in 7s and colouring a path through a maze, which can be navigated diagonally. The inclusion of flashcards and an interactive counting game further supports the learning process, making the concept of counting in 7s both enjoyable and memorable for the students.
