Learn Number 4 lyrics:

So many presents

I wonder what they hide

Let's open one

To see what is inside

I wonder what's inside this green present with purple stripes. Let's open it! Here… We… Go!

It's the number 4!

We can show four as a number like this.

How else can we show four? We can spell the word four with letters.

f… o… u… r… four!

This is how you sign the number four.

Look at this 10 frame:

Let's fill it with counters until we have four. Remember to go from left to right, top to bottom, and don't skip any squares.

1, 2, 3, 4 !

There! We've shown the number 4 in our 10 frame. Now, let's take these four counters and put them in a different pattern. We didn't add or take away any counters, so we should still have 4.

1, 2, 3, 4 !

Wow, still 4 Let's re-arrange them again…

do we still have four?

1, 2, 3, 4 !

Yes! We still have 4 counters, because we didn't add any or take any away.

Counters are fun, but let's show the number 4 in some other ways. Do you like to play games? Look at this die.

How many dots are showing?

1, 2, 3, 4 ! Four dots.

What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one?

1, 2, 3 … 4 ! Four dots in all.

Here's another domino. How many dots does it have?

1, 2 … 3, 4 ! Four dots.

Now, let's draw four tally marks:

One, two, three, four !

I'll bet we can think of even more ways to show the number four. What if we draw four squares?

1, 2, 3, 4 ! Four squares.

And look! Each square has four sides

1, 2, 3, 4 ! Four sides on a square.

Let's draw four scribbles:

1, 2, 3, 4 ! They aren't all the same, but we do have 4 scribbles in all.

Scribble: Hey, I'm not just a scribble!

Brad: Uhhhh … yes you are.

Scribble: Aww, ya got me! (laughs)

Do you like donuts? How many donuts do we have here?

1, 2, 3, 4 ! Four donuts.

There are so many fun ways to show the number 4. We've counted up to 4 together quite a few times! Now, let's count back from 4 all the way down to zero!

4, 3, 2, 1, 0!

Remember, zero is the same as none. Let's clap and count together back up to four.

1, 2, 3, 4!

Now, point at the number 4, and use your finger to trace it in the air. Here we go!

Start at the top left corner… pull down half way, then across to the right. Jump back to the top in the middle… and draw a line all the way down!

You did it! Four!
