Counting 1 to 5 Poppy Day

A simple interactive counting game, designed in Powepoint to support the development of children’s early number knowledge from 1 to 5. Children are presented with different amounts of poppies in the ten-frame. Children need to count the poppies in the ten-frame and identify and click the matching number digit card. Different ways of showing 2, 3, 4 and 5 are explored using the ten-frame. A great starter activity for use on the interactive whiteboard as part of whole class teaching and learning, exploring amounts from 1 to 5. Links well with WhiteRose planning and “5 Alive” unit in the Autumn term. Easily editable to build a greater level of challenge by introducing numbers beyond 5.

The Powerpoint slides also include ten-frame templates showing poppy amounts from 1 to 5 in various arrangements. The ten-frames can be printed and laminated and are ideal for any follow up independent learning opportunities or directed small group work.
