Lesson video

Using language of direction movement and position.

Hello everybody, this is Miss Sidhu here and I've got my cat here Mr Cash and we are ready to do some amazing math with you today.

In the lesson today, you'll be using directional language, hello Cash, directional language when moving and giving instructions for someone else to move.

Welcome to today's lesson, and today we're going to be using directional language, and exploring clockwise and anti-clockwise language as well.

We will have an independent task and an end of lesson quiz to see that everything that we have remembered.

In this lesson you will need a pencil and a paper to write down the answers and a soft toy, it maybe a teddy bear or a doll or something that you can have as an object, so that we can turn.

There are times during the video that you may need to pause and have a go at some of the activities yourself.

Now, let's get started.

Let's practise the days of the week first.

So, what day comes first? Monday, so my turn first then your turn.

Monday, Tuesday, If you already know the next day you can say out loud before I say it.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and finally, Sunday.

Now, I think we're ready to do today's learning.

When we talk about directions we can sometimes mean going left or right.

Let's have a think for a moment.

Which hand you write with? Is it your right hand or your left hand? That's usually a good way to tell which way is left or right.

Or, have a think about a time when you are on a bus or in a car.

A driver needs to use his indicators which are the lights on the side of their vehicle, to let others know which way they are turning, either left or right.

So, can you point to the left and can you point to the right? I want you to pause the video and practise turning left and right.

If you want to, you can use your teddy bear too and turn the bear left and then right.

To pause the video, to have a go.

Pause and freeze macaroni cheese.

Hippie had fun turning left and right.

Okay, now we've learned about left and right.

Let's extend our learning by using the words whole turn, say it after me, whole turn.

That means we turn a whole turning goes all the way round to back where we were facing.

So, imagine you're in a room with a bed on one side, and a chair on the other on the opposite side.

If you were standing facing the bed and then turned all the way around, like this red arrow, you've done a whole turn.

See if you can use your teddy bear or your object and get them to do a whole turn.

So, you might face a bed or you might face a door, you might face a wall and then you do a whole turn that means you go all the way around and you face the same place where you faced in the beginning.

To have a go at doing a whole turn.

You may want to pause the video whilst you're doing the whole turn.

Make sure you do it nice and slowly.

Now, let's see if we can make your teddy bear do a half turn.

So, facing the bed or a door first and then completing a half turn this time our teddy bear is facing the bed, and he does a half turn to the chair so, he's facing the opposite way, he's done a half turn.

You may want to pause and have a go at doing a half turn.

That means you will now be facing the opposite way.

Now, let's try making our bear do some quarter turns.

So, here we've got the bed, the bear is facing the bed and instead of going all the way around the whole turn or just a half turn, only goes a quarter to the drawers, and then we've got a quarter to the window.

So, you need to face the same way and only do a quarter.

You may want to pause the video and have a go at doing a quarter turn.

So, the bear has done a quarter turn to the left to the window and then he's gone back to the bed and done a quarter turn right to the drawers.

Here we've got the word clockwise.

Can you say after me, clockwise.

Clockwise means the same way as time goes round a clock face.

So, it goes from 12, then to one, then to two, and so on, and all the way back round to the 11.

And then 12 again, and that means it's going clockwise.

See if you can turn your teddy bear clockwise the same way as a clock.

So here, we've got the bear doing a quarter turn clockwise from the bed to the drawers.

Anti-clockwise means the other way round to what the clock goes round.

So, instead of following the clock hands, it goes the opposite way round.

It goes backwards around the clock so that's anti-clockwise.

Have a go at turning your teddy bear anti-clockwise.

So, here we've got the bear turning from the bed to the window, a quarter turn anti-clockwise.

You may want to pause the video and have a go at turning your object anti-clockwise.

It may help to have a clock in front of you so you know which way is clockwise and which way is anti-clockwise.

Now, let's practise what we have learned so far.

Is this a clockwise turn or anti-clockwise turn? To thinking about which way does the clock turn.

So, this is a quarter turn, is it clockwise or anti-clockwise? It's clockwise because the clock is turning all the way round.

And it's going from the bed, to the drawers, to the chair, to the window and all the way to the bed.

So, from the window to the bed is going the same way round as a clock.

So ,this is a quarter turn clockwise.

Now, I think you're ready for today's independent task.

For your task, you need to read the word problem and then add the way round the arrow turns.

So, the problem here we've got an instruction.

So, to turn the arrow a half turn clockwise and we've got the starting point and thinking about the end point after you've turned the arrow a half turn clockwise.

And the next instruction, turn that arrow a quarter turn anti-clockwise.

So, thinking about which way is clockwise and which ways anti clockwise.

Maybe you might want to use your clock, and then turning a quarter turn anti-clockwise.

I want you to pause the video to complete your task and then resume once you're finished.

How did you do? So, here we've got the starting point the arrow, turn the arrow a half turn clockwise, and that's the end point.

Next, we've got turn the arrow a quarter turn anti-clockwise.

Remember, we're going anti-clockwise, the opposite way round of the clock.

I'd like you to share your work with Oak National.

Please, ask your parent or carer to share your work on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.

I hope you had lots and lots of fun with looking at all the different directional language going left or right or clockwise or even anti-clockwise.

Now, I want you to complete the quiz to see everything that you have learned.

Bye.
