Are you looking for a fun way to reinforce counting and addition skills to 10 and 20? Our interactive Counting Feet PowerPoint is the resource for you! This game is ideal to completed after reading the picture book, One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre.

This engaging PowerPoint will challenge your students to distinguish between true and false statements related to counting and addition concepts, including partitioning numbers and making combinations to 10 and 20. Students will need to determine whether each slide’s image and statement match. They will respond to the true or false statements by giving a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Prior to completing the activity, ensure that students are familiar with the included images and their number of feet:

1. Snail = 1 foot
2. Person = 2 feet
3. Dog = 4 feet
4. Insect = 6 feet
5. Spider = 8 feet
6. Crab = 10 feet

Most slides include images of feet that must be combined to reach the total. For example, if the slide features a dog and a snail, the total number of feet is 5.

Our Counting Feet PowerPoint would be a wonderful way to consolidate skills during a whole class lesson. To extend your students further, provide mini whiteboards and ask them to record addition problems to match the images on the slides. Alternatively, ask them to create other combinations of feet to reach the same total!

It’s time to get counting!
