In this lesson, we explored the number five through various engaging activities, including writing it as a numeral and spelling it out. We used a ten frame to visualize five, played with patterns, counted dots on dice and dominoes, and practiced drawing five tally marks, stars, and other shapes. The lesson concluded with tracing the number five in the air and counting both up and down, reinforcing our understanding of this important number.

Let’s Learn About the Number Five!

Hello, friend! Today, we’re going to have fun with the number five. Are you ready? Let’s start by opening a special present. It’s blue with orange dots. Surprise! It’s the number five!

Ways to Show Five

We can show the number five in lots of ways. First, we can write it as a number: 5. We can also spell it with letters: F-I-V-E. Isn’t that cool?

Counting with a Ten Frame

Look at this ten frame! It’s like a little box with squares. Let’s fill it with counters to make five. We start from the left and go to the right, then move to the next row. Ready?

One, two, three, four, five! Yay, we filled it up to five!

Playing with Patterns

Now, let’s move the five counters around. We didn’t add or take away any, so we still have five. Let’s count again:

One, two, three, four, five! Still five! Let’s try another pattern. Do we still have five?

One, two, three, four, five! Yes, we do! Isn’t that fun?

Finding Five in Games

Do you like games? Look at this die! How many dots can you see?

One, two, three, four, five! Five dots!

Now, let’s look at some dominoes. How many dots are on this one?

One, two, three, four, five! Five dots again!

Drawing and Counting

Let’s draw five tally marks. Ready?

One, two, three, four, five!

How about drawing five stars?

One, two, three, four, five! Five stars!

Here are some smiley faces. How many do we have?

One, two, three, four, five! Five smiley faces!

Let’s draw five petals on a flower.

One, two, three, four, five! We drew five petals!

Counting with Pizza

Do you like pizza? How many pepperonis are on this slice?

One, two, three, four, five! Yum, five pepperonis!

Counting Down and Up

We’ve counted up to five a lot. Now, let’s count back from five to zero:

Five, four, three, two, one, zero! Zero means none.

Let’s clap and count back up to five:

One, two, three, four, five!

Tracing the Number Five

Now, let’s use our finger to trace the number five in the air. Ready?

Start at the top, pull down and curve around, jump back to the top, and give it a cap. You did it! That’s the number five!

Thanks for learning with me! Have a great day!

  • Can you think of five things you see every day? Maybe in your room or outside? Let’s share what we find!
  • What are some fun games or activities where you can count to five? How do you use the number five in those games?
  • Can you make a pattern with five objects at home? Maybe with toys or snacks? How does it look when you move them around?
  1. Five Senses Exploration: Let’s use our five senses to find things around us. Can you find five things you can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell? For example, look for five different colors, listen for five different sounds, or find five different textures. Share what you found with a friend or family member!

  2. Five-Finger Exercise: Hold up one hand and wiggle your fingers. How many fingers do you have on one hand? That’s right, five! Now, let’s do a fun exercise. Touch each finger with your thumb and say the number out loud: one, two, three, four, five. Try doing it faster and see how quickly you can count to five!

  3. Nature Walk and Count: Go on a little adventure outside. Can you find five leaves, five rocks, or five sticks? Collect them and bring them back to share with your class or family. Talk about the different shapes and sizes you found. Did you find exactly five of each?

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Welcome! Today, we’re going to explore the number five.

Let’s open this blue present with orange dots. 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.

This is how you sign the number five.

Look at this ten 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.

One, two, three, four, five! There, we’ve shown the number five in our ten 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 five.

One, two, three, four, five! Wow, still five! Let’s rearrange them again.

Do we still have five?

One, two, three, four, five! Yes, we still have five counters because we didn’t add any or take any away.

Counters are fun, but let’s show the number five in some other ways.

Do you like to play games? Look at this die! How many dots are showing?

One, two, three, four, five! Five dots!

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

One, two, three, four, five! Five dots in all!

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

One, two, three, four, five! Five dots!

Now, let’s draw five tally marks.

One, two, three, four, five!

Let’s think of even more ways to show the number five. What if we draw five stars?

One, two, three, four, five! Five stars!

Here are some smiley faces. How many do you think we have?

One, two, three, four, five! Five smiley faces!

Let’s draw five petals on this flower.

One, two, three, four, five! We drew five petals on this flower.

Do you like pizza? How many pepperonis are on this slice?

One, two, three, four, five!

There are so many fun ways to show the number five!

We’ve counted up to five together quite a few times. Now, let’s count back from five all the way down to zero.

Five, four, three, two, one, zero!

Remember, zero is the same as none.

Let’s clap and count together back up to five!

One, two, three, four, five!

Now, point at the number five 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!
