Hello, friends Today we will see, how can we teach forward counting and backward counting to kids.
We will teach forward counting and backward counting together.
First, we will teach forward counting then backward counting.
We will teach these both using very easy methods.
We will see fun activities and worksheets.
So let's start the video.
We will see fun activities and worksheets.
When we count numbers from 1 to 10 that numbers have a sequence.
The numbers value will be increased.
2 is bigger than 1.
3 is bigger than 2.
4 is bigger than 3.
You should explain to kids up to 10 numbers.
We can teach with ascending order with example.
In ascending order first, small value comes then big values.
Like these, we write numbers from smaller to bigger.
The difference is only that in ascending order it does not follow the sequence and in forward counting, it follows the sequence.
First, we will skip one number then give it to the kids to complete it.
If they are able to write it, then we can skip two numbers.
Kids can easily write it because from the beginning we have been teaching them in this sequence.
We will take one example of ascending order.
Kids have to arrange the values in ascending order.
Like these, you can teach this both at the same time with examples.
In the same way, we will teach backward counting.
In Backward counting, the number sequence is opposite to the forward counting.
In forward counting, number values are in sequence and increased by one number.
In the backward counting number sequence is the opposite.
And the number values are decreased by one number.
We will take examples.
Kids have to start with the opposite sequence.
We can take one example of a descending order.
First, We will write a bigger value, then small values.
Now we will see some methods so kids can understand it easily.
We will make stairs like this.
Write numbers 1 to 10 on each step.
will make a small home here.
draw a picture like this.
You can ask kids that you are here and you want to go to your home then how can you go there.
You will go through each step from 1 to 10.
This is forward counting.
which follows the sequence and number values are increased.
Now you want to go down to play with your friends. then how can you go down.
You will come from the 10 to 1 step.
So this is a backward counting.
which follows the sequence and number values are decreased.
Don't teach using note pen only, teach practically.
Kids can speak numbers in sequence while stairs up and can speak in opposite sequence when stairs down.
I made it from cardboard.
I wrote 0 to 10 numbers.
this is a ribbon and Pearl.
This is a hands-on activity.
You can teach using this activity.
We will replace pearl from 0 to 10 one by one.
So it will be forward counting.
I observed in many videos people are showing short tricks and methods for backward counting.
It will not help to clear concept, but kids will start to 
rote memorization.
I f you want to teach backward counting from 11 to 20.
You can tell them to speak from 11 to 20 then 20 to 11.
By speaking the opposite number sequence, again and again, kids will get the next number in their mind automatically.
Because they know forward counting so they will able to do backward counting too.
In the same way, you can teach backward counting up to 100.
Now we will see worksheets that help you with daily practice.
Using these worksheets you can teach forward counting and backward counting up to 500 numbers.
Use this worksheets for daily practice.
You can download this worksheet pdf, the link is given in Description.
I have included forward counting and backward counting in a worksheet, see how I complete it.
Kids have to read all numbers carefully then decide if it is forward or backward numbers.
hey, guys if you like my video then comment me.

I also upload worksheets and post there .
If you teach your kids using my DIY worksheets. Then how much it helps you to improve your child's ability,  do comment on me.
So I will get the motivation to do more worksheets.
Please share this video with your friends and family.
Because I always share new concepts with study materials.
So it will be easy for you to teach your child
Share with others so other children can take benefits of free worksheets.
