Learn Number 2 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 orange present with dark blue squares. Let's open it!
Here… We… Go!
It's the number 2!
We can show two as a number like this.
How else can we show two? We can spell the word two with letters.
t… w… o… two!
This is how you sign the number two.
Look at this 10 frame:
Let's fill it with counters until we have two. Remember to go from left to right, top to bottom, and don't skip any squares.
1, 2!
There! We've shown the number 2 in our 10 frame. Now, let's take these two counters and put them in a different pattern. We didn't add or take away any counters, so we should still have 2.
1, 2!
Wow, still 2 Let's re-arrange them again…
do we still have two?
1, 2!
Yes! We still have 2 counters, because we didn't add any or take any away.
Counters are fun, but let's show the number 2 in some other ways. Do you like to play games? Look at this die.
How many dots are showing?
1, 2! Two dots.
What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one?
1 … 2! Two dots in all.
Here's another domino. How many dots does it have?
… 1, 2! Two dots.
Now, let's draw two tally marks:
One, two !
I'll bet we can think of even more ways to show the number two. What if we draw two Xs?
1, 2! Two exes.
And look! Each X is made of 2 crossing lines
1, 2! Two lines cross make an X.
Let's draw two smiley faces:
1, 2! Two smiley faces. Oh… they look so happy together!
2 Smileys: We two are too happy to be here!
Brad: Whoa!
Do you like cherries? How many cherries do you see?
1, 2! Their stems come together at the top, but we still have 2 cherries.
There are so many fun ways to show the number 2. We've counted up to 2 together quite a few times! Now, let's count back from 2 all the way down to zero!
2, 1, 0!
Remember, zero is the same as none. Let's clap and count together back up to two.
1, 2!
Now, point at the number 2, and use your finger to trace it in the air. Here we go!
Start close to the top… curve up… and around… then a slanting line across and down… and a straight line across the bottom .
You did it! Two!
