Lesson video

Hello friends it's Miss Molnar here and we're going to be doing a math lesson today.

All about measure.

And when I say measure I mean that we're going to be comparing some objects today.

So you might get to use some of your favourite toys at home to do some comparing.

Alright, let's go to the next screen to see what we need to have ready for today's lesson and so you can go get it ready.

Alright, for today's lesson you're going to need to make sure that you ask a parent or carer for all of these items first.

So you're going to need some items in your house that you can compare.

So you might want to get some of your favourite toys that are different sizes.

I'm going to use some Teddy bears, Harold and a few of his other friends today.

You're also going to need to be doing a little bit of cutting during the main task.

So you need to make sure you ask your parent or carer to help you with this and for them to use the scissors.

You're also going to need something to colour with, so maybe that's coloured pencils or crayons.

Alright, pause the video now, go get everything and we can get started with our learning.

Alright, we're going to start by going on a little bit of a number hunt.

So this is a picture of Polly's kitchen.

I'm going to hunt for what numbers I can see in the kitchen.

Alright, this is how we play.

So, I can see in Polly's kitchen.

I can see one, two cats.

Do you see the two cats? Great job for spotting them.

Alright, what other numbers can I go on a hunt for in Polly's kitchen? Let me see.

I see one, two, three, four, five chairs.

Can you see the five red chairs? Well done.

Way to go.

I wonder if you can pause the video and can you have a little bit of a hunt for some numbers? What numbers of items can you see in Polly's kitchen? Pause the video now and see what you can find and we'll come back together.

Alright I hope that you found lots of different numbers in Polly's kitchen.

There's lots of different things we could have been speaking about.

We could have counted the cupcakes.

I see one, two, three, four, five cakes.

I wonder what else you saw.

Now in Polly's kitchen, she's also got a lot different plates.

There's different sizes of plates.

Can you spot some of the plates on the table? That's right there's simply ones and there's some white ones.

We're going to take a little bit of a closer look at the sizes of some of these plates.

Okay these are two of the plates in Polly's kitchen.

Which plate is the bigger plate? Is the purple plate bigger? Or is the pink plate bigger? What do you think? That's right.

Well done.

If you said the purple plate is bigger, you are right.

If I put them next to each other you can see that the pink one is much smaller than the purple one.

Well done.

We know that the purple plate is the bigger plate.

Now I'm going to grab another plate from Polly's kitchen.

Okay.

So I've got two plates in Polly's kitchen this time.

But this time I want to know which plate is the smaller plate.

Is it the purple plate that's smaller? Or is it the green plate that's smaller? That's right the purple plate is the smaller plate.

We'd be fitting much less food on this one and the green plate is the bigger plate.

Fantastic, now I wonder If bring all of my plates back.

I want to put them in order.

I want to put them in order from the smallest plate to the largest plate.

If I was going to make a line of them, how could I put them in order? Which plate would need to come first as the smallest plate? Is it the purple one, the green one or the pink one? Have a think.

Which plate is the smallest? If you said the pink one well done, the pink plate or bowl is the smallest one.

Alright, now we've got the purple and green plate left.

I wonder if we're going to put them in order from smallest to biggest, which plate is going to have to come next? The next smallest plate.

That's right it would be the purple plate next because it's a little bit bigger than the pink plate.

Well done.

And then that means that finally our green plate would have to come out the end.

So we've got the smallest, we've got a little bit bigger and then we've got the biggest with the green one.

Well done.

Alright so we're going to continue to use those words bigger and smaller to compare some objects.

And to help me with my comparing today I brought along Harold the hedgehog, say hi to Harold everyone.

Alright now Harold, we are going to do some comparing.

So I need your help and I'm hoping that you've brought a friend with you.

Have you brought a friend? So Harold has brought along his compare bear friends today.

What we're going to do for our top task is we're going to choose two of the bears and we're going to compare them, using the words bigger or smaller.

So I'm going to choose two coloured bears to compare.

I'm going to choose the green bear and I'm going to choose the blue bear.

Alright so I've got my green bear and my blue bear.

And I'm going to compare them.

Okay let's take a closer look at them.

How could I compare these bears using bigger or smaller? Which bear is the bigger bear? If you said the green bear well done.

I could say the green bear is bigger than the blue bear because it's much larger.

Isn't it? I could also change that around and I could say the blue bear is smaller than the green bear.

Alright so now I'm going to put them all back and I'm going to pick two different bears to compare this time.

Let me see am going to pick the blue bear again.

And this time I'm going to pick the red bear.

Alright so we've got the blue bear and the red bear let's compare them.

Have a look.

What sentence could be used to describe them using bigger or smaller? I'm going to say, that the blue bear is smaller than the red bear.

I could also say the red bear is bigger than the blue bear.

Alright, friends this is where you will need to pause the video and go ask an adult.

If you can get some of your favourite toys that you can compare.

So for the task you're going to use the sentence stems. is bigger than.

So you might have lots of different kinds of toys that could be cars, LEGO pieces, anything that you've got that your parent or carer says it's okay to use would be fine for this task.

Go grab some of those objects now.

Pause the video and have a go at saying your sentences out loud.

We can't wait to hear what sentences you come up with.

Alright well I'm sure you did some great comparing with some of your favourite toys at home using the language of bigger and smaller.

Now what we're looking at is I've got some Teddy bears who have joined the kitchen.

They're really really hungry but we need to make sure that we match up the right size Teddy bear with the correct size of plate.

We don't want to give a really tiny Teddy bear a really large plate.

We want them to be matched up properly.

So the first thing we need to do is let's find the smallest sized Teddy bear.

Which Teddy bear is the smallest size? Can you point to the screen where the Teddy bear is the smallest size? If you pointed to this little blue one, you are right.

That is the smallest Teddy.

Now we need to make sure this Teddy, chooses the smallest plate.

Can you see which of those four plates is the smallest plate? Can you point to the screen.

Well done.

If you spotted this plate here you're so right.

That little plate belongs to this little Teddy bear because he is the smallest.

Alright, what is our next smallest Teddy bear? The next smallest one.

Can you remember? They're very close in size.

It's a little bit tricky lets put them up this way to see too.

I can see it now.

If you said the red one you're so right.

It's our next smallest Teddy bear.

Can you see out of the three plates, which one might belong to this red Teddy bear? Do you think that the red Teddy bear should have this big plate? Why not? That's right it's not the biggest Teddy bear so he can not have the biggest plate.

Which plate should he go with? Point to it now.

Well done.

If you said this plate on the end fantastic.

That plate looks like it matches that Teddy bear.

Alright we've got two Teddy bears left.

We've got this green one and this blue one.

Which one looks like it's the next biggest Teddy bear? If you said the blue one well done because we've got the green one is actually bigger than the blue one.

They're very close but this one is a bit wider.

So we need to make sure that the green Teddy bear has the biggest plate and the blue one has the next smaller plate.

So point to the screen, point to the plate that the green Teddy bear should be matched with.

Well done.

If you pointed to this big one, you're so right.

Fantastic job everyone.

So what we're going to do now, is all of our Teddy bears have been matched up to the correct size of plate.

But now what we want to do, is we want to put our plates and our Teddy bears in order from the smallest to the largest.

What do you think? Are they in the right order at the moment? Are they all going from smallest to the largest? What do you think? If you said no you're so right.

We don't have our largest one on the end.

So let's start from the beginning.

Do we have thumbs up or thumbs down.

Do we have the smallest plate and the smallest Teddy bear at the end? We do it's the smallest one so we can leave it there.

Fantastic.

Now, which Teddy bear and plate should come next as the next smallest one.

Is this one the next smallest? Or is there another one along here that's smaller? You're so right.

Well done.

This blue one is not the next smallest one.

We need the red one next to be our next smallest one.

So we've got the blue Teddy bear with his plate, the red Teddy bear.

Now, do we want to keep the green Teddy bear here with its plate? And have the blue one come at the end as the biggest.

Is that blue Teddy bear and plate the biggest? No you're so right.

We need to swap them because we already know that that green Teddy bear is the biggest or the largest Teddy bear and the largest plate.

So I'm going to move it this way.

And there we go.

Now we've put them in order from the smallest baby bear to the biggest bear.

Well done for helping me out everyone.

Okay now it's time for you to have a go at this activity.

Like I said in the beginning, you're going to need a pair of scissors and some coloured pencils.

You can find this picture in the worksheet in the downloadable resources if you'd like to print it out.

But don't worry, If you can't print out this image.

You could get a parent or carer to help you draw some cats and some plates to do the same activity on a piece of paper.

So you need to ask a parent or carer for help.

They can cut out the pictures for you.

So we've got one, two, three, four different size cats, and we've got four different size plates.

You need to match up the right size plate to the right size cat.

So that means the biggest cat should have the biggest size plate.

And the smallest cat should have the smallest size plate.

You might also want to colour them in to be matching.

So, the biggest cat might be yellow and the biggest plate might be yellow as well.

Alright, so what you're going to do is you're going to pause the video now.

Make sure you've got a parent or carer right by your side to help you with this.

And then we'll come back together.

Well, we hope you enjoyed the activity everyone.

Is this the order that you had all the cats and the plates in? Fantastic.

Harold and I would really really like it if you're able to share some pictures of your learning today with your teacher.

We're sure they would be so proud of all the fantastic learning you've achieved today.

And if you'd like to, we really really like it if you asked your parent or care to share pictures of your learning also on our social media page.

Alright, well that's it from us today everyone we'll see you next time.
