In PowerPoint (Windows) AND Keynote (Mac) format
I am delighted to offer a unique and fully editable version of ‘countdown’ in PowerPoint format with theme music, timer, cards that flip etc. Just change the numbers to suit your students. This took a lot of time to make initially in Keynote (Mac) format and I have successfully converted it into PowerPoint.
Great as a starter in Numeracy Lessons.
Different formats added!
1st Feb 2017 due to comments, PowerPoint formats should be able to use and edit fully now, please email me on daveorritt@mac.com if you cannot access the effects, it may just need a setting changing on your PowerPoint program.
An interactive Smartboard file I made for year 3/4 for an observation lesson.
Tries to get across the idea that knowing the rules for odd and even can inherently help you check your answers!
Actually used this again yesterday in a class in Lancashire, worked really well.

Help the Dinosaur find his food maze, I made for ‘counting practise’ for a colleague some ten or so years ago. Just thought I’d throw it on here if anyone wanted to save them some time or edit.
Worksheet I made for a bit of fun numeracy at Christmas time. Originally used with a year 3 class. Each letter of the alphabet has a value and you have to calculate the value of words.
I designed this activity to get the children to become more accurate at counting data systematically. I have also included the answers in a worksheet. Children are required to count the number of certain letters in a passage of text. Can be linked to handling data in ICT showing the computer can be more efficient at certain tasks.
