This PowerPoint is designed to encourage your students to enjoy counting in groups of 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s. Pictures of groups of objects are animated on the slides for students to practise counting in steps. This resource supports one of the Maths key objectives for Year 2.
This worksheet consists of two pages, the latter being more challenging as it involves higher numbers.
I enlarged the sheets to A3 and began the lesson with shopping role play where pupils had to buy oversized items from me using giant money. We counted out two pence pieces and children had to pretend that they had 2ps stuck to each of their fingers to introduce this new concept.
Children worked in pairs and counted out 2ps until they had sufficient for each purchase. They then drew around the correct number in the space to the right-hand side of the item - this was the reason for having A3 sheets.
