Transcript: Tally Up! (Counting Using Tally Marks)
A title reads "TVOKids Presents."
Colourful animated numbers with googly eyes jump around and form the name "Wacky Number Songs."
A song says IT'S THE WACKY WACKY
NUMBER SONGS.
OH YEAH.
A caption reads "With Ava."
Ava appears in a nice bedroom filled with furniture. She is around 12, with two long braids. She wears a striped yellow shirt under a denim overall.
Counting tally marks on a piece of paper, Ava says 26, 27, 28, 29.
OH, HI!
I'LL BE WITH YOU AS SOON AS I
FINISH COUNTING THIS.
UGH, I LOST MY PLACE AGAIN.
THERE'S GOT TO BE AN EASIER WAY
TO COUNT, RIGHT?
WELL, THERE IS!
WHEN YOU COUNT, YOU CAN JUST
MAKE A MARK LIKE THIS.
TWO, THREE, FOUR.
THEN THE FIFTH ONE GETS A
DIAGONAL MARK, LIKE THIS.
WHEN YOU SEE THIS, YOU KNOW YOU
HAVE FIVE.
IT'S CALLED A TALLY.
AND THAT MEANS YOU CAN COUNT BY
FIVES INSTEAD OF ONES.
I WROTE THIS SONG ABOUT IT.
Ava appears in a lighted up stage wearing a tall hat and holding a stick.
She sings TALLY UP!
FOUR STRIKES AND A DIAGONAL
LINE.
NOW YOU CAN COUNT IN GROUPS OF
FIVE.
TALLY UP!
FOUR STRIKES THEN A DIAGONAL
LINE.
WILL HELP YOUR COUNTING
THRIVE.
IN THE PRIZES AT THE AMUSEMENT
PARK I SEE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 TOY
SHARKS!
IF MY DOG HEARS A NOISE OUT IN
THE DARK.
MY DOG GIVES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
LOUD BARKS!
(dog barks five times)
COUNTING BY FIVES HELPS ME
KEEP MY PLACE.
WHEN I'M COUNTING BIG
NUMBERS.
HEY!
LET'S HAVE A RACE!
FIVE, TEN, FIFTEEN, TWENTY,
TWENTY-FIVE, THIRTY!
DONE!
I'VE WON!
HEY!
THAT WAS FUN!
TALLY UP!
FOUR STRIKES AND A DIAGONAL
LINE.
NOW YOU CAN COUNT IN GROUPS OF
FIVE.
TALLY UP!
FOUR STRIKES THEN A DIAGONAL
LINE.
WILL HELP YOUR COUNTING
THRIVE.
The song ends.
Ava says 90, 95, DONE!
WITH TALLY MARKS, COUNTING'S SO
MUCH QUICKER AND EASIER!
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
