This animated PowerPoint is a series of nature based number stories. (15 slides, 14 number stories) There is a script in the presentation which asks all the questions and indicates when to click to make the minibeasts appear or disappear. This is also a great way to introduce common animals and fits in with the national curriculum to "identify and name a variety of common animals". Creatures/items included: beetles, earthworms, ladybirds, spider, bees, grasshoppers, butterflies, ants, pinecones, caterpillar eggs, earwigs, snails and woodlice (pill bugs) . Extract from script: Oh look what we’ve found, crawling around! Two beautiful, black beetles. If one more came to join them, how many would there be? (Wait for students to answer) CLICK! Yes, three! To print the script go to View, NotesPage, File, Print.
