Lesson video

Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Is Mrs. Khira and it's Elvis, my very helpful sheep.

Now in this lesson, we are going to be exploring sharing objects into two equal groups.

I hope you're ready for today's lesson.

We are set and we're ready to go.

So that's do that now.

Now in this lesson, you're going to need the following items. You'll need some counting objects like counters or cubes, and you'll also need the number cards available in today's lesson resources.

Please ask a carer or parent to help you cut them out if you're using job scissors.

Now, if you haven't got these things ready, please press the pause button, go and collect what you need and then resume the video.

So let's have a look at our big picture for today.

I wonder if you can tell me which Nursery Rhyme this big picture comes from.

You need to have a good look.

Hmm, well, I think Elvis might have the answer.

I wonder if you've got the same answer.

Elvis thinks that today's big picture comes from the Nursery Rhymes, Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Well, if you said the same thing, then you would be correct.

It does, I wonder if you know the song, Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Perhaps we can sing the first verse together.

Get your best singing voices on.

Are you ready? ♪ Baa baa black sheep ♪ ♪ Have you any wool? ♪ ♪ Yes sir, yes sir ♪ ♪ Three bags full ♪ ♪ One for the master ♪ ♪ One for the dame ♪ ♪ And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

♪ Great singing everyone.

I'm thank you were fantastic.

I could hear you all the way from here.

Now, I wonder if you can help me answer a question about the big picture today.

Let's have a really good look at it.

Hmm, well, I wonder if you can tell me how many animals you can see in the big picture.

You might need a moment to have a good count.

Well, I wonder if you counted as many of the animals as we found.

I'm going to put a circle around them now.

These are all the animals that I spotted in the picture.

Let's count them up to see how many there are all together.

So, we've got the big black sheep in the front of the picture, that's one.

A cat and a dog chasing after each other, two, three.

I can see two cows in the field, four and five.

I can see a lady walking, a dog six.

I can see two bunny rabbits in the field, seven and eight.

And then I can see two sheep all the way in the background, that's nine and 10.

There are 10 animals in this picture.

I wonder if you spotted them too.

Perhaps you could have a go asking your partner, a question about the picture.

What can you see that they might have to count them spot, have a go at this now.

So let's have a look at our new learning for today.

We're going to need to have a look at the big picture in a bit more detail.

Now, I wonder if you spotted the sheep has got four bags of wool.

There are two of them and there are the other two.

All together he has four bags of wool.

And he wants to find out which bags he can take to the market to share equally between the dame and the master.

I wonder if you know what the word equal means.

Perhaps you can tell someone next to you, what you think the word equal means.

Well, equal means that two sets have the same value, the same value on both sides.

So we're going to have a look to see if we can help the sheep to share out some balls of wool equally between the dame and the master.

Let's have a look at our number cards.

Let's pick one and see what number we get.

Huh, I have picked the number seven.

Now I'm going to represent the number seven using some counters.

Here are my counters.

Can you help me count out seven of them? One, two, three, four, five, six and seven.

Now, I'm going to share my seven counters or my seven balls of wool equally between the dame and the master.

I'm going to place the ones for the dame on the orange card and the ones for the master on the green card.

I'm going to try and share my counters equally by giving one to the dame and then one to the master.

So can you help me do this? We can use our ordinal numbers to help us here.

The first one I'm going to give to the dame.

The second one I'm going to give to the master.

The third one, I'm going to give to the dame.

The fourth one, I'm going to give to the master.

The fifth ball of wool, I'm going to give to the dame.

This sixth ball of wool, I'm going to give to the master.

We've only got one more ball of wool left.

I wonder what I can do with that.

Perhaps I can give that to the dame.

So let's have a look at how many balls of wool the dame and the master get.

The dame gets one, two, three, and four balls of wool.

The master gets one, two, and three balls of wool.

Do they both get an equal amount? No, you're right.

They don't.

The dame gets one more than the master because she gets four balls of wall.

So that was your turn to have a go.

Let's have a look at the talk task activity for today.

So you will need the number cards available in activity one of today's resources.

You'll also need your counting objects, that will be using some counters and you need the help of your two opponents.

Elvis is on hand to give me some help.

Now, one of you is going to pick a card first.

I'm going to let Elvis do that.

Let's see which card he's picked.

He has chosen the number six.

I can see that because there's six dots on the card and the number six is there too, good choice Elvis.

I'm going to have a go representing the number six to some counters.

So can you help me count six counters out one, two, three, four, five and six.

I think I've done that correctly.

Have I Elvis? Elvis says yes.

So, now we want to check if we can share the numbers to those counters equally between the master and the dame.

And there are their pictures.

Now, to do that, we're going to give one counter to the dame and one counter to the master until we finished all the counters off.

Let's do that now.

So I'm going to take the first counter and give it to the dame.

The second counter, I'm going to give that to the master.

The third counter, I'm going to give to the dame.

The fourth counter, I'm going to give to the master.

The fifth counter I'm going to give to the dame and the sixth counter I'm going to give to the master.

That's all my counts are shared out.

Now, let's see if we've given them equal amounts.

I can see that the dame has got one, two and three counters.

So she has been given three counters, or three balls of wool.

Now the master, he has got one, two and three counters.

He has also got three counters, or three balls of wool.

I think Elvis that must mean that we have been able to share the number six equally or six counters equally between our two people.

They have both got the same amount.

Great, so that was short time to have a go.

So you only need your number cards and you need your counting objects and the help of your talk partner.

Have a go at this activity and once you've both had to go, you can resume the video and we'll carry on with our learning for today.

So let's move our learning on a little bit further.

We're going to have a look at developing our learning and then look at our independent task.

Now we're getting to do a very similar activity, but we're going to use our maths language to help us explain what we're doing.

So let's pick another number card.

Here I have the number 12.

We are going to represent the number 12 using our counting objects.

So here are my counters.

Can you help me count up 12? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and 12.

That all my 12 counters, they represent the number 12.

Now we want to do the same thing again.

We want to share those 12 counters equally between the dame and the master.

And here they both are.

So we're getting to the similar process where I'm going to give one of my counters to the dame and then one of my counters to the master.

We're going to continue doing this until all the counters are gone.

Are you ready to help me? So let's give off first counter to the dame.

The second counter to the master.

The third counter to the dame.

The fourth counter for the master.

The fifth counter to the dame.

The sixth counter to the master.

The seventh counter to the dame.

The eight counter to the master.

Then ninth counter to the dame.

The 10th counter to the master.

The 11th counter to the dame and the last counter, the 12th one goes to the master.

So that's all of my counters used up.

Let's see how many each the dame and the master have.

So, let's look at the dame first.

Can you tell me how many counters she was given? You might need to use your careful counting fingers to help you count.

Let's help them out, shall we Elvis? One, two, three, four, five, and six.

The dame has been given six counters.

I wonder how many the master has been given? Well, let's check.

How many counts does he have inside his circle? Let's count together.

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

The dame and the master have both been given six counters each.

So let's use this sentence to help us describe what's happened.

12 counters shared equally between two is equal to six.

I took my 12 counters and shared them between two people and they both got six each.

So now it's your turn to have a go.

Using your counting objects on the number cards, have a go at sharing the amounts you create equally between two.

Then practises using the sentence stem that we introduced in the last slide.

Was you and your partner have had to go and you can resume the video and then we'll continue with our learning for today.

Great learning for today, everyone.

So let's just recap what we've done today.

We've been looking at sharing a total into two equal groups.

Earlier on, and then we went the other way round.

We made groups to find a title.

So let me show you what I mean.

Here I have got 10 counters.

Let's count them out together to make sure I've got the right amount.

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

I want to share my 10 counters out between two bits of card.

I want to make sure that both are equal.

So let's do what we were doing earlier.

Let's put one in the orange card, the next one into the green card.

So the first one goes to the orange card.

The second one goes to the green card.

The third one to the orange, the fourth one to the green, the fifth one to the orange, the sixth one to the green, the seventh one goes here.

The eighth one goes there.

The ninth one goes back to the orange and the 10th one goes the green.

So 10 counters to start with, and we've shared them equally between two bits of card.

How many counters are that on each card? Well, we can check to find out.

On the orange card, we've got one, two, three, four, and five counters.

On the green card, we've also got one, two, three, four, five counters.

Now, that must mean that two groups of five are equal to 10, or we can say that 10 shared between two is equal to five.

Great work for today everyone.

Now in lesson seven, we will be exploring sharing of objects into equal groups.

Elvis and I look forward to seeing you then, bye for now.
