There Were 10 on the Bus Count Back Sliders
These fun and interactive sliders are a great activity for students to practise counting back from 10. They pair with the theme of the Counting Backwards from 10 presentation as students can practise singing the song “There Were 10 on the Bus”.
The sliders should be printed, laminated and cut for student use. They make a terrific independent activity for early finishers or in maths rotations. Students could also practise writing the number sequence on a whiteboard as they move through each step of the song.
