Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Let’s see what’s inside this colorful present. It’s a surprise!
Wow! It’s the number one! One is a very special number because it’s the first number we say when we start counting. Let’s see how we can show the number one.
We can write the number one like this: 1. We can also spell it with letters: O-N-E. Isn’t that cool?
Do you want to learn how to sign the number one with your fingers? It’s easy! Just hold up one finger.
Look at this ten frame! Let’s put a counter in it to show the number one. Remember to start from the top left and go to the right. There it is, one counter!
Let’s take the counter out. Do we still have one? Yes, because we didn’t add or take away any counters!
Do you like games? Look at this die. How many dots do you see? One!
What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one? One! Let’s try another domino. How many dots? One!
Let’s draw one tally mark. One! Can you think of more ways to show one?
How about drawing one rectangle? One rectangle! If we turn it, do we still have one rectangle? Yes, we do!
Let’s draw one stick person. One! Maybe they’re ready to run a race!
Do you like apples? How many apples do we have here? One! One red apple!
There are so many fun ways to show the number one!
We’ve counted up to one. Now let’s count back to zero. Ready? One, zero! Remember, zero means none.
Let’s clap and count back up to one. Now, let’s point at the number one and trace it in the air with our finger. Start at the top and draw a straight line down. You did it! One!
Great job learning about the number one! Keep practicing and have fun!
Number One Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find things that come in ones. It could be one chair, one book, or one toy. Once you find them, share with your friends or family what you found. Can you find at least five different things that show the number one?
One Finger Painting: Use finger paints to create a picture using only one finger. You can make one dot, one line, or even one shape. What can you create with just one finger? After you’re done, show your artwork to someone and explain how you used the number one in your painting.
One Step at a Time Game: Play a game where you take turns moving one step at a time. You can play this outside or in a large room. Each time you take a step, say “one” out loud. How many steps does it take to reach the other side? This game helps you practice counting and understanding the concept of one step at a time.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Rock and Learn!
I wonder what’s inside this red present with light blue circles. Let’s open it! Here we go!
It’s the number one! One is a special number; it is the very first number we say when we are counting. We can show one as a number like this.
How else can we show one? We can spell the word “one” with letters: O-N-E.
This is how you sign the number one.
Look at this ten frame! Let’s add counters until we have one. Remember to go from left to right, top to bottom, and don’t skip any squares.
There! We’ve shown the number one in our ten frame. Now let’s take this counter out of our ten frame.
We didn’t add or take away any counters, so we should still have one.
Yes, still only one counter! Let’s move it over here. Do we still have one?
Yes, we still have one counter because we didn’t add any or take any away.
Counters are fun, but let’s show the number one in some other ways. Do you like to play games?
Look at this die! How many dots are showing? One!
What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one? One!
Here’s another domino. How many dots does it have? One!
Now let’s draw one tally mark. One!
I bet we can think of even more ways to show the number one. What if we draw one rectangle?
One rectangle! Let’s turn it like this. Do we still have one rectangle? Yes, we do!
Let’s draw one stick person. One!
I’m number one! Wow, I wonder if they’ll win a race.
Do you like apples? How many apples do we have? One!
One red apple! There are so many fun ways to show the number one.
We’ve counted up to one together quite a few times. Now let’s count back from one all the way down to zero.
One, zero! Remember, zero is the same as none.
Let’s clap and count together back up to one.
Now point at the number one and use your finger to trace it in the air. Here we go! Start at the top and draw a straight line all the way down.
You did it! One!
