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 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 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 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. Show Less

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

Noah and Mustard are lost in the forest and need to find out how to get home, but all they have is a map that they don’t know how to use! Can you help them? This Miniclip introduces maps and their purposes, and how understanding the scale, compass, and legend (or key) allow us to read any map we come across. Show Less

Meet Merindah – she owns an ice-cream cart and after a hot week she wants to create a line graph to reflect her sales! But how can she do this? This Miniclip introduces the purpose of graphs and takes students through plotting their own line graphs. Students will also learn about the purpose of the horizontal and vertical axes, writing meaningful titles, spacing out their graph, and using a ruler to connect their plotting points. Show Less

You’re going to the cinemas to see a new film with a friend. You know when the film starts and how long is goes for – but how do you work out when it finishes? This Miniclip teaches students to calculate the finishing time of events using the starting time and duration. Show Less

What is volume? Is it different to capacity? Find the answers to these questions and more with this fantastic Miniclip! Captivating animations demonstrate the differences between capacity and volume, as well as how to calculate volume using cubic centimetres and metres. Students will also discover how to use a formula to help them solve a range of problems involving volume through examples using cuboids. Show Less

Your students will already be familiar with subtraction – but what about subtracting large numbers with five digits? This easy-to-follow Miniclip demonstrates how to do this accurately by aligning the columns for each place value, beginning the subtraction in the ones column, and using the method of regrouping. This can be used as a fantastic resource to either introduce this concept, refresh students’ skills, or as revision! Show Less

You might know if something is hot or cold – but do you know how to measure the actual temperature? What does “temperature” even mean? This Miniclip introduces degrees Celsius as the metric unit of temperature, and shows students how to read a thermometer and its scale. With the help of a charismatic weather presenter, students will be reading and recording the temperature in no time! Show Less

Decimals are used in every type of measurement – distance, length, weight, capacity, volume, and money. Reading them can sometimes be hard enough, so how can you compare and order them simply? The key is all in using place value, and this fantastic Miniclip shows just how simple it can be! Show Less

Meet Naman and John! They want to share their strawberry snacks and play a game of marbles – but how can they share these objects equally? Introduce your young students to the concept of division using the strategies of sharing and grouping! Using pictorial representations of the boys’ strawberries and marbles, your students will learn the differences between these two strategies and how they can help divide objects into equal groups. Show Less

Explore the relationships that numbers share using the inverse operations of addition and subtraction! This Miniclip demonstrates how to use these two operations to check answers, showing that their inverse nature can act as a perfect mental calculator! Show Less

While your students will already be accustomed to addition – how do they feel about adding large five digit numbers? This clear and simple Miniclip demonstrates how to do this accurately by aligning the columns for each place value, beginning the addition in the ones column, and using the method of regrouping. This can be used as a fantastic resource to either introduce this concept, refresh students’ skills, or as revision! Show Less

When exploring the relationships between numbers, one of the most significant is the highest common factor. With the help of a wonderful magician and his rabbit, discover what highest common factors are, how multiplication and division help us to find them, and how easy they are to calculate! Show Less

Fractions are one of fundamental mathematical concepts that we use every day, and what better way to introduce them to young students than with a party? Join Lily at her birthday party to learn about fractions using a delicious carrot cake and some colourful party hats. We look at what fractions represent, how we can show an equal share of something as a written fraction, and what ‘numerator’ and ‘denominator’ actually mean! Show Less

When we talk about time, we often mention duration. Calculating duration, or elapsed time, is a fundamental life skill that your students will learn with this Miniclip! Using real world examples such as birthday parties, bus trips, and visiting a friend’s house, your students will learn useful mental strategies to help them calculate duration using both digital and analogue clocks.
