ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Learn About the Number 4 | Number of the Day: 4 | Four with Manipulatives | Rock ‘N Learn
Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with the number four? Let’s start by opening a special green present with purple stripes. What’s inside? It’s the number four!
We can show the number four in many ways. First, we can write it as a number: 4. We can also spell it with letters: F-O-U-R. Isn’t that cool?
Let’s use a ten frame to count to four. We fill it with counters, going from left to right, top to bottom. Ready? One, two, three, four! We did it!
Now, let’s move the four counters around. Even if we change their places, we still have one, two, three, four counters. Magic!
Do you like games? Look at this die. How many dots do you see? One, two, three, four! Now, let’s check a domino. How many dots are there? One, two, three, four! Great job!
Let’s draw four tally marks. One, two, three, four! How about drawing four squares? Each square has four sides. One, two, three, four sides on each square!
Let’s draw four scribbles. One, two, three, four! And look at these yummy donuts. How many do we have? One, two, three, four donuts!
Let’s count back from four to zero. Four, three, two, one, zero. Zero means none! Now, let’s clap and count back up to four. One, two, three, four!
Let’s trace the number four in the air. Start at the top left corner, pull down halfway, then go across to the right. Jump back to the top in the middle and draw a line all the way down. You did it! Four!
Thanks for learning with me! Remember, there are so many fun ways to show the number four. Keep exploring and have fun!
Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom. Look for the number four in different places like books, clocks, or calendars. Can you find four apples or four chairs? Count them out loud and share your discoveries with a friend or family member!
Four Corners Game: Create a game by labeling each corner of a room with a number from one to four. Play some music and dance around. When the music stops, everyone runs to a corner. Call out a number, and those in that corner can shout “Four!” and show four fingers. This helps with recognizing the number and having fun with friends!
Nature Walk: Take a walk outside and look for groups of four in nature. Can you find four leaves, four rocks, or four flowers? Collect them and bring them back to class or home to share what you found. Discuss how the number four appears in the world around us.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Let’s explore what’s inside this green present with purple stripes. Let’s open it up!
Here we go, it’s the number four! We can represent four as a number like this.
How else can we show four? We can spell the word “four” with letters: F-O-U-R.
This is how you sign the number four.
Look at this ten 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.
One, two, three, four. There, we’ve shown the number four in our ten 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 four.
One, two, three, four. Wow, still four!
Let’s rearrange them again. Do we still have four?
One, two, three, four. Yes, we still have four counters because we didn’t add any or take any away.
Counters are fun, but let’s show the number four in some other ways.
Do you like to play games? Look at this die! How many dots are showing?
One, two, three, four. Four dots!
What about dominoes? How many dots are on this one?
One, two, three, four. Four dots in all!
Here’s another domino. How many dots does it have?
One, two, three, four. 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?
One, two, three, four. Four squares! And look, each square has four sides.
One, two, three, four. Four sides on a square!
Let’s draw four scribbles.
One, two, three, four. They aren’t all the same, but we do have four scribbles in total!
Hey, I’m not just a scribble!
Uh, yes you are.
[Music]
Do you like donuts? How many donuts do we have here?
One, two, three, four. Four donuts!
There are so many fun ways to show the number four. We’ve counted up to four together quite a few times now.
Let’s count back from four all the way down to zero.
Four, three, two, one, zero.
Remember, zero is the same as none.
Let’s clap and count together back up to four.
One, two, three, four.
Now point at the number four and use your finger to trace it in the air.
Here we go! Start at the top left corner, pull down halfway, 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!
