Lesson video

Oh, hello everyone! Hi, it's Mrs. Khaira! And it's Patch, my wonderful assistant, he'll be helping us with our maths today.

Now in today's lesson we're going to be looking at counting up to 15 objects and putting them in order.

Sounds challenging.

Are you ready to begin? I think we are too.

All right, let's crack on! Well for today's lesson you will need the following items. You will need some countable resources.

So I've got some cubes here, but perhaps you might have some counters or some marbles or other countable objects you can use.

And you will also need the resource cards that's provided in today's lesson resources.

So there are some picture cards and some number cards.

Please make sure a parent or carer helps to cut these out for you so you don't get injured.

Now if you haven't got these things ready please pause the video now, go and collect them, find somewhere quiet, and then resume the video to carry on with our learning for today.

Welcome back everyone.

Let's have a look at our big picture for this unit.

Can you remember which nursery rhyme the big picture comes from? Hm.

That's right, it comes from Old Mother Hubbard.

And look Patch, you're in the picture, standing right next to Old Mother Hubbard.

I wonder if you can sing the first verse of the nursery rhyme with me? Are you ready to begin? ♪ Old Mother Hubbard.

♪ ♪ She went the cupboard ♪ ♪ To fetch her poor doggy a bone ♪ ♪ But when she got there ♪ ♪ The cupboard was bare ♪ ♪ And so the poor doggy had none ♪ Oh, poor Patch! No wonder you look so sad.

Well perhaps we can cheer you up with some maths.

I wonder if you can help me with this question.

Can you look really carefully at the big picture? I wonder if you can tell me how many pink flowers you can see in the background.

I've circled them for you so you can look carefully.

Let's see if you're correct.

Let's count them together using our careful counting fingers.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Great work everyone! There are seven pink flowers! I wonder how we could represent those pink flowers.

Perhaps using our cubes or our counters.

Let's have a go together.

Right, well let's represent our seven flowers with seven cubes.

Help me count them out together.

One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.

There are seven cubes.

They represent our seven flowers.

Fantastic work everyone.

Patch and I are really impressed.

Do you think you can help us with one more example? Hm.

Well, let's have a look at the picture again.

I can see that there are some circular yellow plates.

Can you count how many circular plates there are? I've put a ring around one to help you.

Right, well let's see if you're correct.

Let's use our careful counting fingers to help us.

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

There are 10 round yellow plates.

Let's use our cubes to help represent them again.

Okay.

Let's count them out together.

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

There are our 10 cubes.

They represent the 10 round yellow plates.

Now it's time for our new learning.

So today we are going to be having a look at counting up pictures and then representing them using our cubes or our manipulatives.

So let's have a quick look at this picture.

Can you tell me how many flowers there are on the card? Hmm.

Well Patch and I think it's quite tricky to count them up.

We need a way to make sure that we count them all.

So we're going to cross out each picture as we count it.

You could also touch the screen or touch the card so that you know which flowers you have counted.

So let's have a go together.

Can you help me count them? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11.

There are 11 flowers in the picture.

I have crossed out each one as I've counted it, so I haven't missed any of them.

Now I want to represent those flowers using my cubes.

Can you help me count out 11 cubes? Are you ready? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11.

We have just counted out 11 cubes.

There are 11 flowers and there are 11 cubes.

The number of flowers and then number of cubes are equal.

That's a special word, and we'll be using it again today.

They are equal.

That means they're the same.

Great work everyone.

Now it's your turn to have a go.

For this activity you're going to need some number cards, your picture cards, and your manipulatives, or your cubes or other countable objects for you to use.

Are you ready to begin Patch? Great, let's go.

So Patch is going to pick a number card for me.

Let's see what he has chosen.

He has picked for number 12.

Great choice Patch.

Now it's my turn to have a go.

I going to represent the number 12 using my cubes.

Can you help me count them to make sure I do it correctly? Let's go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and 12.

Patch picked the number 12 and I have represented it using 12 cubes.

Now there's one more step that I'd like you to try.

I need to see if I can find a picture card that matches my representation and my number card.

So it needs to have 12 pictures.

Let's see if I've picked the right one.

Hmm.

Now I want to make sure that I'm correct and I think the best way to do that is to count up the pictures.

But remember, for every picture that we count we either need to cross it out or we need to point at it so we definitely count it.

Can you help me check if there are 12 bowls in this picture? Are you ready? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and 12.

I was correct! And you see that the number card, the number of cubes, and the picture are all equal because they all represent the number 12.

We are such a great team! Now what I'd like you to do is press the pause button, collect all the resources you need and have a go with your very own talk partner.

Once you've completed the activity please resume the video and we'll finish off with our learning.

Great work everyone.

Let's move our learning on.

We're going to continue having a look at how we can turn a picture representation into our cube representation, or whichever other manipulatives you have for today.

Let's have a look at this track together.

Can you have a look at the first box in the track? How many flowers can you count? Can you shout the answer at the screen? That's right.

There's one and two flowers.

There are two flowers in the first box.

Now if I was going to use my cubes to that picture how many cubes would I need? Can you shout the answer at the screen? That's correct.

They're so brilliant Patch! We would need two cubes to represent it.

Let's have a look.

Put them down together with me, can you count them out? One and two.

Brilliant work everyone.

Let's have a look at the next box now.

Can you see how many flowers there are in the next box? Hmm.

Let's count them together.

One, two, and three.

There are three flowers in the next box.

I wonder if we can represent that picture using our cubes.

How many cubes do you think we'll need? Can you shout the answer at the screen? That's right, we will need three cubes to represent our three flowers.

Let's put them in together.

Ready? One, two, and three! There are three flowers in the picture and three cubes representing them.

The number of flowers and cubes are equal.

I wonder if you can spot a pattern.

First there were two flowers, then there was three flowers.

I wonder how many flowers might be missing from the next box.

I think there's a pattern.

Each set of flowers is going up by one.

We're adding one more each time.

I think we can use our cubes to help us find the missing number of flowers.

So, let's put down three cubes first, one, two, and three.

And now I think we can add one more cube.

I think that's the pattern.

I wonder what three cubes plus one more is equal to.

Can you shout the answer at the screen? That's right.

Three cubes plus one more is equal to four cubes.

That must mean that there are four flowers missing in the picture.

Can you help me draw them in? I'm going to use my drawing hand.

Are you ready? One, two, three, and four! There are four flowers in the picture and there are four cubes representing them.

The number of flowers is equal to the number of cubes.

Great work everyone.

Now it's your turn to have a go.

In a moment I'd like you to pause the video, I'd like you to get out the resources, so you'll need your picture tracks and you'll need your manipulatives, maybe you've got some cubes or perhaps your counters or marbles, and I'd like you to have a go at representing the pictures as a physical, actual manipulative.

So as your cubes.

Once you're done please resume the video and we'll carry on with our learning.

Well done everyone.

Let's have a look at the last little bit of learning for today.

Now I wonder if you can help Mrs. Khaira and Patch, because I think we might have made a mistake.

We're going to have a look at this picture track.

I think that I have put a wrong number of flowers into one of the boxes.

I wonder if you can help me spot the mistake and spot the pattern.

Should we have a go together? Let's have a look at the first box, the one on the left.

How many flowers are there in that first box? Can you count them out for me? Yes, that's right, there are two flowers.

Let's double check by crossing off each one as we count it.

Are you ready? One and two.

The first box has two flowers.

That's correct Patch, isn't it? There are two flowers in the first box and that's how you write the number two.

Let's have a look at the next box now.

Let's have a look at how many flowers are there.

Help me count them out please.

One, two, and three.

They are all three flowers in the next box.

I wonder if you're beginning to spot the pattern.

Let's have a look at the next box along.

How many flowers do we have there? One, two, three, four, and five.

Hmm.

There are five flowers in that box.

Let's write the number above the track so we can keep count.

Let's have a look at the next one.

Get your have special counting fingers ready.

Can you help me? One, two, three, four, and five.

Again, we've got five flowers in that box.

I think something has definitely gone wrong here.

What about the last box? Can you help me count the number of flowers we have there? One, two, three, four, five, and six.

The last box has six flowers.

Hmm.

Two, three, five, five, six.

I think that there is a mistake.

Can you spot which box has got the wrong number of flowers? I wonder if you can point at it now.

That's right.

This box is incorrect.

That's because the number of flowers is going up by one each time.

Two plus one more is three.

Three plus one more is four.

So there should be four flowers in that box.

Well done if you spotted that mistake.

So in lesson three we'll be continuing with counting up to 15 objects and putting them in order.

Patch and I will be seeing you there.

So bye for now.
