Learn Number 5 lyrics:

[Sung:]
So many presents
I wonder what they hide
Let's open one
To see what is inside

I wonder what's inside this blue present with orange dots. Let's open it! Here… We… Go!
It's the number five! We can show five as a number like this.
How else can we show five? We can spell the word five with letters.
f… i… v… e… five!

This is how you sign the number five.

Look at this 10 frame:
Let's fill it with counters until we have five. Remember to go from left to right, top to bottom, and don't skip any squares.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 !

There! We've shown the number 5 in our 10 frame. Now, let's take these five counters and put them in a different pattern.
We didn't add or take away any counters, so we should still have 5.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 !

Wow, still 5 Let's re-arrange them again…
do we still have five?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 !
Yes! We still have 5 counters, because we didn't add any or take any away.

Counters are fun, but let's show the number 5 in some other ways. Do you like to play games? Look at this die.
How many dots are showing?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ! Five dots.

What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one?
1 … 2, 3, 4, 5 ! Five dots in all.

Here's another domino. How many dots does it have?
1, 2 … 3, 4, 5 ! Five dots.

Now, let's draw five tally marks:
One, two, three, four,
Number five shuts the door!

I'll bet we can think of even more ways to show the number five. What if we draw five stars?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ! Five stars.

Here are some smiley faces. How many do you think we have?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ! Five smiley faces.

Let's draw five petals on this flower:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ! We drew five petals on this flower.

Do you like pizza? How many pepperonis are on this slice?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 !

Italian Chef: Ha, ha! Five Pepperonis.

There are so many fun ways to show the number 5. We've counted up to 5 together quite a few times! Now, let's count back from 5 all the way down to zero!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!

Remember, zero is the same as none. Let's clap and count together back up to five.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

Now, point at the number 5, and use your finger to trace it in the air. Here we go!
Start at the top… pull down and curve around. Jump back to the top… and give it a cap!
You did it! Five!
