Count Back Mazes
This is a fun and engaging activity for students to practise the counting back from 10 number sequence. Students start at the number 10 and colour the path of adjoining numbers counting backwards to help the animals find their food.
This sheet can be used as an independent task or printed onto coloured paper and stored in a write and wipe sleeve for multiple use by early finishers or maths group task centres.
Learning goals
- We are learning to count forwards and backwards up to 20.
- We are learning to read, write and order numbers to 20 using concrete materials, connecting quantities, numerals and number names.
