Lesson video

Hi! My name's Miss Robson.

Today, we're going to be practising counting on and back from a given number within 10.

When we've practised that skill, we're going to use it to tell some maths stories about buses.

For today's lesson, you will need 10 things to represent people.

They could be cubes or counters or pasta, buttons or beads.

You will also need a dice or some number cards, and you will need one bus that has 10 seats on it.

You can draw this on a piece of paper if you like.

Pause the video now for a second to go and collect the things that you need.

First, we're going to practise counting on from a given number.

I'm going to use a number track, to help me.

Here I have my number track to 10.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.

I'm going to start on the number three, and roll my dice to find out how many to move on.

Two! I'm going to count on two more from three.

Ready? One, two! Two more than three is five! Let's try again.

This time I'm going to start on the number two.

And I'm going to count on five.

One, two, three, four, five! Five more than two is seven.

Let's try one more, and this time I want you to count with me.

I'm going to start on the number three, and let's find out how many I am moving on.

I'm going to count on three.

So here we go, ready? One, two, three! Three more than three is six! That's a double number! Three + three = six.

Let's try one more, and this time I'd like you to have a go at counting in your head.

I'm going to start at five, and let's roll the dice, and count on three! Use your finger on the screen to move yourself on three more than five.

Now it's my turn.

One, two, three! Three more than five is eight.

Now that we've practised counting on from a given number, we're going to practise counting back from a given number.

I'm going to use the same number track to help me.

So here is my number track again, and I have my counter and my dice, but this time I'm counting back.

I'm going to start at the number eight, and let's roll the dice to see how many.

Four! I'm going to count back four.

One, two, three, four! Four less than eight is four.

This time I'm going to start on the number nine, and I'm going to count back five.

One, two, three, four, five.

Five less than nine is four.

I've landed on the number four.

This time I want to hear you counting with me.

I'm going to start at the number 10.

And I'm going to count back three.

Can you count with me? One, two, three! Three less than 10 is seven.

I want you to do it by yourself, I'm going to put you on the number nine.

Let's roll the dice.

You're going to count back six! Have a go! One, two, three, four, five, six! Six less than nine is three.

If you got three, give yourself a really big pat on the back.

Well done! Now that we've practised counting on and counting back from a given number, we're going to use those skills to practise telling some maths stories.

In front of you, you can see a bus.

It has a 10s frame inside of it, which means that we can fit 10 passengers on the bus.

We're going to practise telling stories about this bus, picking passengers up, and letting passengers off at their stop.

That way, we're going to be counting on when more passengers join the bus, and counting back when passengers get off.

We've got to make sure that there's never more than 10 passengers on the bus, otherwise, they won't have anywhere to sit down! Watch me tell some maths stories, and then I'm going to ask you to have a go at telling your own.

So first, at the bus station, three people got on.

One, two, three.

I started with zero, I've added three more.

Three more than zero is three.

Then, at Tesco's, we stopped and we picked up four more passengers.

I've got three already.

Four, five, six, seven.

Four more than three is seven.

Then, we kept going and we got to the park.

At the park, six passengers got off.

Can I just take six away from seven, if we count backwards? Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

There's one passenger left! Then, we stopped at Legoland.

At Legoland, this one person got off to go and play at Legoland, but 10 more people got on.

So, one less than one is zero.

And then, we have to add 10 more.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.

10 more than zero is 10.

The bus is full! There are no more seats.

There are also lots of questions that you can ask and lots of questions to answer about the bus and the people that you are letting on or off.

If there are nine people on the bus, how many more people can get on? Just one! There's only one seat left.

One more than nine is 10.

Now the bus is full.

If there were seven people on the bus, and they stopped at Tesco's for two to get off, how many people would be left on the bus? What is two less than seven? One, two.

Seven, six, five.

Two less than seven is five.

Now it's your turn to complete the task.

Find your bus, and your 10 passengers, and have a go at telling some maths stories about people getting on and off the bus.

Pause the video now to complete your task.

When you are finished, press play.

So, what did you find out about your bus, whilst you were telling stories? I found that if I have nine passengers on, I can only let one more on! Any more than one, and someone won't have a place to sit down! I had to be really careful how many passengers I was letting on the bus, to make sure that we didn't get too full.

What did you find out about your bus journey? Did you find any combinations that meant that the bus was full? Or, did you find that you had too many passengers? Why not find a talk partner or your parent or carer, and tell them your favourite maths story? Telling maths stories is one of my favourite things to do.

I hope you had as much fun today as I did.

You've done some fantastic learning.

Why not share your learning with us? If you'd like to, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Twitter, by tagging @OakNational and using the hashtag #LearnWithOak.

We'd love to see what you've been up to.

See you next time!.
