Todays Learning. Today s learning will encourage your child to build on their understanding of full and empty and showing half full, nearly full and nearly empty. The song below will remind them of the language full, half full and empty. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=QMQEKERBQ7M
Monster Milkshakes! Below are some monsters with their milkshakes. Some of them have been drinking their milkshake already! I will go through the language we would use to describe how much milkshake the monster has left in their glass.
Can you point to the correct milkshake? Over the next few slides, I will talk to you about how full the monster wants their glass. It s your job to point to the glass you think I am describing! I like to have a milkshake when the glass is full up to the top!
Well done! This milkshake glass is full!
Can you point to the correct milkshake? Point to the glass the monster is describing! Oh no!! My glass is empty. I need to buy another milkshake!
Well done! This milkshake glass is empty!
Can you point to the correct milkshake? Point to the glass the monster is describing! Cor! I was so thirsty I drank half of my milkshake in one go!!
Well done! This milkshake glass is half full!
Can you point to the correct milkshake? Point to the glass the monster is describing! Uh oh!! I have nearly finished my milkshake!
Well done! This milkshake glass is nearly empty!
Can you point to the correct milkshake? Point to the glass the monster is describing! Super!! I have only had a little sip of my milkshake so my glass is nearly full.
Well done! This milkshake glass is nearly full!
Oh no!! They have mixed them up again!! Wait a minute! I haven t drunk a lot. I should have the most!! Whoops!! I have nearly drunk all my milkshake. I should have the least!
Well Done!! I now have the most!! I now have the least!
Todays Maths Challenge For todays challenge you will need: 5 pieces of paper and five cups or glasses around about the same size. On the pieces of paper write the words below: Full Half full Nearly empty Nearly full Empty Put the labels next to a cup and ask your child to make their cups full, empty, nearly full, nearly empty, about half full. When they have done this, mix up the labels. Can they put the correct cup with the correct label? (They may need help to read the labels.) Can they find a container which holds more than their full cup? How can they check? Can they find a container which holds less? How can they check? (Make sure they do this over the sink or in a bowl!!)
