I originally made this for a mixed ability class, but my set 6 got on surprisingly well with this. I had previously introduced numbers up to 10). In this lesson I introduced the numbers up to 100 in units of 10 (i.e. 10, 20, 30 ...) on the board. Then they did the worksheet, and a lot of them managed to work out the rule (numbers are said 'backwards') by themselves.
I crafted a powerpoint advent calendar. Clicking on each of the doors takes you to a revision question or general christmas question. After answering you return to the calendar page by clicking on the house button on the question slide. Currently filled in for a Y9 German (1st year of learning it), but easily modified for other subjects or languages. The background picture is also separate from the calendar doors, so easily swapped out for one of your liking. Merry Christmas ps - first version didn’t seem to work once uploaded. Apologies. Saved this as .ppt now, hopefully this version will work as intended.
