Forward and Backward Counting: Drag Two Numbers (1 to 20)

In this interactive number sequence activity, students are given a target number and must complete the sequence by dragging two correct numbers—either the previous two (for backward counting) or the next two (for forward counting)—from a set of four options. This task builds number sense, sequencing skills, and an understanding of numerical order.

Key Features:

• Covers numbers 1 to 20

• Mix of forward and backward counting

• 4 number options per slide; drag 2 correct ones into place

• Reinforces before/after and number patterns

Skills Practiced:

• Forward and backward counting

• Number sequencing (1–20)

• Comparing and ordering numbers

• Problem-solving and attention to detail

Ideal For:

• Kindergarten to Grade 1 learners

• Math centers, number sense routines, or early finishers

• Reinforcement for struggling counters

• ESL students and visual learners
