Are you teaching about counting to 10? Here is a great teaching tool, linked into fireworks, bonfire night and Guy Fawkes events. Students can count the numbers in order or solve the mixed up number slides. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different materials being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Guy Fawkes - Counting to 10. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into order. Teachers could show two printed out cards at once and add them, subtract them, or multiply them.
