Place value within 10 - Counting forwards - Presentation

In a series of engaging and interactive slides designed for young learners, the concept of counting forwards is explored as part of a place value lesson. The presentation begins with prompting the students to think about what it means to count forwards, encouraging them to provide examples to solidify their understanding. Subsequent slides present a variety of activities where students are asked to complete number tracks, reinforcing their ability to identify the sequence of numbers as they increase. The exercises challenge them to recognise patterns and the progression of numbers, asking questions such as "Are the numbers getting bigger or smaller?" to stimulate critical thinking about numerical order.

The presentation continues with more advanced activities that require the students to fill in missing numbers and correct sequences. These tasks are designed to strengthen reasoning skills, as students must spot mistakes and understand that counting forwards can start from any number, not just zero. Independent work slides further encourage the application of counting skills, asking students to fill in spaces on tables and determine the correctness of statements. Throughout the lesson, the children are prompted to consider how counting helps them complete number tracks, the significance of starting points in counting, and how classroom resources can aid in matching numerals with their corresponding words. Overall, the slides provide a comprehensive and interactive approach to teaching the foundational skill of counting forwards within the context of place value.
