Lesson video

Hi, my name is Mrs. Harris, and I'm here with you today to do some maths.

We are going to learn how to match pairs of related objects.

Now don't worry if you don't know what that is yet, I'll help you through it, and we'll learn together.

Here's our lesson agenda and the agenda means what we're going to do today.

And we're not going to be here forever.

There's just three things on my agenda.

First, we're going to do some learning together.

I need tell you what I mean by matching related objects.

Then, you're going to practise matching objects by relationship.

And you're going to finish off the lesson by even more practise, by playing eye spy around your room.

You're going to need some things for the lesson.

Well, just one thing.

I'd like you to have this printed worksheet, but don't worry if you haven't got it.

You could always use the one I'm going to pop up on the screen in a few minutes.

But, if you want it and you haven't got it, pause the video now, and come back to me when you've got it.

I said we were going to do some matching together and that's just what we're going to do now.

Usually, when we're doing matching, we would find things that are exactly the same.

But, I said today, we were looking for related objects to match together.

So usually I would say sock and you would go and find me the same sock, somewhere in your room maybe.

But today, if I said sock, you might say shoe, socks and shoes go together, don't they? They're related.

They're not the same.

They wouldn't look the same.

We'd put our sock on and then we'd put our in our shoe, wouldn't we? So they're related.

Let me show you something else.

What about, ooh you might use this to eat your dinner.

What about a knife? Now when we eat our dinner, we don't just eat it with a knife, I want you to find the pair to it, but not another knife.

We have a knife in one hand and in the other we have a? Fork, knife and fork are a related pair.

They go together.

I've got a car key.

What would go with my car key? Yeah, my car, but it's a bit too big to get in here.

But they are related objects, aren't they? The car won't work without the car key, and the car key, well it's a bit useless without the car.

Then I've got, ooh I've got a purse.

What usually goes with a purse? Another purse? No, that would be something exactly the same.

Ah, you're right.

It's money, money and a purse are the related objects, So, money and purse are related objects, they go together.

I hope that's got your brain thinking about things that go together because we're going to have a look at some more together and see if you can find a link.

Okay, you've had little think of related items with me, like my purse and money, my knife and fork.

And now I'm going to say some things and I want you to choose something either off my screen or off your printed paper, because they're the same, that goes with that object.

So I've already got a fork on there, can you find the fork? We've got fork, scarf, shoes, wellies, a ring, a spoon, bread, and a remote control.

Now, if I said knife, you can't point to a knife, can you? There's not one there.

But you could point to the related object, the fork.

Get the idea? Let's try another one.

If I said butter, what would you point to? The bread, that's right, bread and butter goes together.

Try another one.

I said finger.

What would you point to? Ooh, I guess you could point to the remote control 'cause you use your finger to use it.

I was thinking the ring though.

That's where we would put the ring.

What about if I said a puddle? Did you point to the wellie boots? Because you need wellie boots to jump in a puddle, don't you? How about if I said hat? Yeah, you'd point to scarf, hats and scarves go together.

How about if I said egg? This one's a little trickier, but I'm thinking an egg doesn't really go with trainers, or shoes, and I'm thinking an egg doesn't really go with a remote control.

They're not related in any way.

So I think an egg must go with the spoon.

Ah yes, you could have an egg and spoon race and try and run as fast as you can, but keep it balanced.

Or you could eat your dippy egg with a spoon.

Okay, that leaves me two things left.

I'm going to go for television.

Which object is related to a television? That's right, the remote control.

But it could have been related to quite a few things around your house I'm sure.

Last thing is the shoes.

Before I tell you what I would relate with the shoes, just tell me what you would relate to the shoes.

Tell me in five, four, three, two, one.

Wow, I related socks, socks and shoes.

Maybe you related feet? Yeah, you might have related feet because they go inside the shoes.

You might have related running or walking, something you would do in the shoes.

It's great isn't it, trying to match things by relationship.

There's so many possibilities.

Just some are more obvious than others.

We've done lots of work together now on related objects.

I've shown you some that I've found, and we've even done some matching of them, just using pictures.

So now it's time for you to play a little game and you could play it with somebody else, if you've got somebody near you who would like to play, or you could even play it by yourself.

You could say, I spy a table.

And then, your friend, or your grown up, has to say, I spy a chair, because table and chair go together.

If you're on your own, you can still play that.

You could still say I spy a table and a chair, table and chairs go together.

So have a look around where ever you are and see what pairs of related objects you can find.

So pause the video, go and have a play of related object eye spy, and then come back to me.

I wonder what related objects you found in your game of eye spy? Maybe one of your grownups even took a picture for me of your related object eye spy.

I found my favourite one though.

Whilst you were busy playing your game of eye spy, I found my favourite related object pairing.

I found a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Well we've reached the end of our related object lesson.

We did some great matching didn't we? If you'd like to share some of your work, your related object matching work with me, or, with all the teachers here Oak National, maybe your parent or carer can share a picture of your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

And if you use Twitter, you could tag @OakNational, and I'll be sure to check it.

So, until next time, bye.
