Tweet For a long time now, I have been a big fan of using counting strips in the classroom. They are a great way to increase a student's ability to rote count and gives them a fun way to practice a very important skill. The other thing I love about counting strips is that you can use them to count forward or backward and can start and stop on any number you please.

Teachers introduce counting to early learners at the preschool or kindergarten stage.

But when they have become confident at counting forwards, you can then teach the important skill of counting backwards. Here are 14 games to teach counting back from a given number. #countinggames #numeracy #counting #teachcounting #preachoolgames #preschoolactivities #learntocount

This one is a really visual way to explore subtraction. . The idea is to lay out the pom-pom ‘apples’ on the holes and then push through the amount that you are subtracting before counting how many are left. You could easily add more holes to make it more challenging. . A little bit of tape at the bottom means you can record the answer using a…
