In our world, everything has mass! From small things like an ant, a bird, a book, and a brick… to big things like you and I; a lion, a mountain, and even a blue whale. They all have mass. This Miniclip introduces young students to the concept of mass and links it to everyday terminology like ‘light’ and ‘heavy’. Students will learn to identify objects that have a large mass or a small mass, and will order objects from least to greatest mass. They will also be introduced to an equal arm balance scale and learn how the pans fall, rise, or stay level depending on the mass of the two objects being measured. Show Less

This Miniclip reviews the features of three-dimensional shapes and introduces prisms and pyramids. It explains polygons and polyhedrons, defines prisms and pyramids, and deconstructs a variety of examples including triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, hexagonal pyramids, triangular pyramids, and more. Students will learn how to connect these three-dimensional shapes with their nets, and how the net of a 3D shape can be constructed in various formations. Show Less

Did you know that there are many ways to solve division problems? One of these ways is by using long division! This Miniclip introduces the long division method to divide a number by a one-digit divisor. It explores the four steps it involves: divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down. Students will learn how this division method helps to break down a problem into steps, track the working out, and cross-check answers. The video also emphasises the importance of place value and explores regrouping and renaming. Show Less

Did you know that there are many ways to solve division problems? One of these ways is by using short division – also known as the bus stop method! This Miniclip introduces the short division method to divide a number by a one-digit divisor. Students will learn how this division method requires a strong understanding of times tables, the importance of place value, and regrouping and renaming. Show Less

Ahoy me hearties! Pirate Barry has been sailing the seven seas in search of treasure and he’s finally found it! However, he needs your help to figure out how much he’s found. We can help him find out by doing multiplication as repeated addition! This Miniclip introduces multiplication and explains how to do multiplication as repeated addition by counting out Pirate Barry’s tremendous treasure. Show Less

Shapes are all around us. But do you know what we call the space that is inside a shape? It’s called area! This Miniclip introduces your students to the concept of area and ways to measure various surfaces using informal units such as envelopes, books, and a hand. Show Less

Introduce your young students to telling time to o’clock on digital clocks. This Miniclip introduces the features of digital clocks including the numbers and colon separator. Students will also practise their understanding of the characteristics of o’clock times on digital clocks through examples provided in the video. Show Less

Introduce your young students to telling time to half past on analogue clocks. This Miniclip provides a summary of the features of analogue clocks and explains the characteristics of half-hour times, with opportunities for students to practise their understanding through various examples. Show Less

Introduce your young students to telling time to o’clock on analogue clocks. This Miniclip presents the features of analogue clocks including the minute and hour hands, their direction of movement, as well as the clock face. Students will practise their understanding of the characteristics of o’clock times on analogue clocks through examples provided in the video. Show Less

Introduce your young students to telling time to half past on digital clocks. This Miniclip provides a summary of the features of digital clocks and explains the characteristics of half-hour times, with opportunities for students to practise their understanding through various examples. Show Less

Chuck a left at Pluto, take Infinite Avenue for about six million light years, and bam! You'll find yourself on Capacious – the most spacious and wonderfully roomy planet. But there is radioactive goo everywhere and the aliens need your help to clean it up using some containers. But which containers have the greatest capacity? This Miniclip introduces the standard metric units for measuring capacity—millilitres and litres. Students will learn about the importance of using standard units of measurement, when to use millilitres or litres, and compare the capacities of some different containers. Show Less

This Miniclip explains how to tell time to five minutes on an analogue clock. It includes a summary of the hands on the clock and outlines the two super simple steps for reading the time – identifying where the hour hand and minute hand are. Students will be taken through examples to practise telling time to five minutes utilising skip counting by five and will identify the different ways of saying the time using “to” and “past”. Show Less

This Miniclip explains how to tell time to the minute on an analogue clock. It includes a summary of the hands on the clock and outlines the two super simple steps for reading the time – identifying where the hour hand and minute hand are. Students will be taken through examples to practise telling time to the minute by skip counting by five and counting on for the remaining minutes. They will also identify the different ways of saying the time using “to” and “past”. Show Less

This Miniclip investigates the features of analogue clocks and the relationships between units of time. It explains the second, minute, and hour hands on the clock face. It covers how many seconds are in a minute, how many minutes are in an hour, and how many minutes are between each numeral for the minute and hour hand. It also teaches students how to utilise skip counting by 5 when counting minutes and includes new vocabulary such as revolution. Show Less

Multiplication by two-digit numbers can be conducted in a variety of ways – one of these is by using the extended form or ‘long multiplication’! This Miniclip breaks down this efficient multiplication strategy into three simple steps to help guide your students, while also addressing regrouping and renaming values throughout the process. The video also stresses the importance of writing each number in its correct place value column, while including helpful pop-ups facts to guide students and avoid confusion during the process.

Multiplication by two-digit numbers can be conducted in a variety of ways – one of these is by using the area model! This multiplication strategy enhances students’ number sense by connecting with their prior understanding of solving the area of a rectangle using width and length. The area model separates the two products into their expanded form, which are then organised around a rectangle, requiring students to solve the multiplication problem in each box. This Miniclip demonstrates that the area model is a simple, visual way to break down two-digit multiplication for senior primary students Show Less
