Rodd has made a birthday cake for his mascot dog, called Patch. He is putting the candles on Patch’s cake, and asks us to work out how old she is. We join in, checking that ‘8 plus 2 makes 10’ by counting on Rodd's special abacus, and finger counting. The children can join in and play party musical statues and ‘freezing’, and sing a number rap.
This clip is from the BBC series Counting with Rodd. A fun series, featuring presenter Rodd, who uses rhymes and songs to help children with counting numbers, addition and subtraction.

Teaching Maths?
Students can create their own pet's birthday cake, out of plasticine for example, using two colours of birthday candles and holders, to show that ‘8 plus 2 makes 10’. They can organise a nail bar, and use small white peel-off labels as fingernails. With felt-tipped pens, they can decorate 8 in one colour/style, for 8 fingers, and 2 more, in a different colour or style, as thumbnails. Students can take off shoes and socks and waggle 8 toes, and then 2 big toes, to show that ‘8 plus 2 makes 10’.
This clip will be relevant for teaching Maths/Numeracy at Foundation and KS1 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Early and first Level in Scotland.
