Do you think so? Are they the same length?

No.

No, I mean count here

you can count two, three.

Now count this one,

Five. So are they the same? Yes. Yeah. Ok.

Now,

which ones has more? Which row has more?

This

one.

This one has more.

Why does this one have more?

Because it's more longer. It is more longer.

All right, Hunter.

Do you think that these two rows of nickels have the same,

same

number of nickels?

You want to count them for me?

Can you count them?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

10.

Good. Ok.

So they have the same, right?

Hmm. Ok.

Now,

which one has more nickels?

This one.

Why?

Because

They are

longer.

Longer.

Alright.

So

James,

do you think these both glasses of water have the same amount of water?

Yes. Around the same. Okay, good.

Now

I'm going to do this.

Now,

is there the same amount of water now, or which one has more?

That one. That one has more. Why?

Because,

this one's bigger and that one's more skinnier?

Ok.

Do

these two glasses of water have the same amount? No.

No.

Are you sure. No.

Why not?

That

one

looks different

those

two

don't

Out

of those two bottles,

do those full of water do

they

look the same?

Yeah, they are both the same.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right good.

Now

I'm going to put this top

in here.

Now tell me.

Yeah, now tell me which one has more water

That one.

This

one.

Yeah. Why?

That one

(INDISTINCT VOICE).

(INDISTINCT VOICE).

(INDISTINCT VOICE).

Alright thank you.

All right JJ.

Do you think these two balls of play dough have the same

amount of dough in them, play dough?

Are they like this? Are they the same?

Don't look at the colors, just that how much is in the ball?

Are they like around the same?

Yes. Yes. Ok good.

Now.

Are they not the same?

No. No which one has more?

This one. This one has more. How come that one has more?

Because

you let that one stay

like that and you squish that one

smaller. It made it less

right

All

right.

Now

these two play

doughs

are the same. Are they?

No, don't look at the color, but do they have the same, are they the same size?

Hm. (AFFIRMATIVE).

No,

no,

No,

why not?

Maybe,

they

look different.

They look different.

Yeah. And

this one

looks

green, that one

looks red.

Well, don't look at the color. Don't look at the color.

You make it more smooth,

okay.

Do they look the same now?

No. No. (MULTIPLE VOICES).

Don't look at the color. Are they the same shape?

No.

No,

Maybe, this one got cracked.

This one did not get cracked. This one got

mushy.

You don't

crack.

So they are not the same.

All right.

But don't look at the cracks,

just look at

the smooth part.

Are they like the same size?

Yeah.

Yeah. (APPLAUSE). Good.

All right.

Now

I'm going to squish this one.

Now tell me, are they the same size

No. No. Why not?

Maybe, this one got

squished

and this one is a ball,

so, you know,

throw it

and

play catch.

So this one,

does this one have less or more than this one?

This one. This one has more

And

this

one

(INDISTINCT VOICE).

(INDISTINCT VOICE).

press two.

But does this one have more?

Yeah. This one has more than this one? Yeah.

Okay.

So,

do

you like sharing?

You like to share?

Um.

you have to share sometimes, right? Does mommy tell you to share?

No.

No.

At school we can. At school...

Yeah so. If

I gave you this cookie,

right? No, no. Don’t do it.

If I gave you this,

pay attention here, look, and I have two cookies. Is that fair? No.

Why not?

I love.

Because I have more right?

Or...

Yes, I eat that cookie.

No.

Ok. So I have more here. Right? Yeah.

Okay.

So,

this is not fair.

This is not fair, right?

Yes. It's not fair. Ok. So

now,

now do we have, is it fair now?

why is it fair?

Because you

broke the

cookie.

All right.

Ok.

So, does mommy ever tell you to share with your brother?

Yeah,

it's good to share, right?

Yeah.

Ok.

So, what if

I had two cookies and you had one?

Would that be fair?

No. No.

Why not? Why wouldn't it be fair.

If he takes two and that they feel

and,

and,

he gets one

and you get

two

and that means

I

go tell your mommy

then you have to give it back. All right. Now,

what if I cut

this?

Now do we have the same?

Yeah. Yeah.

And we got two cookies and can

eat on.
