Lesson summary

The animated series Bluey serves as a valuable tool in fostering children's development of imagination, curiosity, and social and emotional learning.

This lesson focuses on the capability of sharing. Students will learn how to share an even amount of cafe food items, and come up with a solution of what to do when there isn’t quite enough to go around.

This suite of resources supports emotional and social learning and oral language development through a values framework. Each lesson uses intentional teaching strategies to develop a specific value. This lesson focuses on:

Learning intentions

Students will:

count, up to 20
divide equally between groups
begin to consider the concept of a remainder when dividing by whole numbers
begin to consider the concept of fractions
show empathy and understanding towards others.

Success criteria

Students can:

understand the concepts of equal and unequal
understand the concepts of fair and unfair
use the sharing method to divide a number of objects equally between groups
consider the ability of some objects to be split in half
take a non-egocentric view of sharing valuable objects.

Year 2 Mathematics

Multiply and divide by one-digit numbers using repeated addition, equal grouping, arrays, and partitioning to support a variety of calculation strategies (AC9M2N05)
Identify common uses and represent halves, quarters and eighths in relation to shapes, objects and events (AC9M2M02)
Recognise and describe one-half as one of 2 equal parts of a whole and connect halves, quarters and eighths through repeated halving (AC9M2N03)

Syllabus outcomes: MAO-WM-01, MA1-GM-02, MA1-GM-03, MA1-3DS-02, MA1-FG-01.

General capabilities: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability

Relevant parts of Foundation Year Mathematics achievement standards: Students identify the attributes of mass, capacity, length and duration, and use direct comparison strategies to compare objects and events.

Relevant parts of Year 1 Mathematics achievement standards: Students solve problems involving addition and subtraction of numbers to 20 and use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using calculation strategies.

Relevant parts of Year 2 Mathematics achievement standards: Students demonstrate how one- and two-digit numbers can be partitioned in different ways and that two-digit numbers can be partitioned into tens and ones. Students partition collections into equal groups and skip count in twos, fives or tens to quantify collections to at least 120. They solve problems involving addition and subtraction of numbers to 20 and use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using calculation strategies.

Level of teacher scaffolding: Low - Teachers support students where necessary.

Art supplies – coloured pencils and markers
Counters or other concrete counting materials
Device capable of presenting a video to the class
Sharing Maths Student Worksheet
