and they in the same place okay all right so you know what this one real fast okay so Kira which row has the most coins this row this row or are they both the same that row has the most coins which one why do you say that cuz it's not next to each other and these are this man okay all right thank you good job and these are more spread out okay very good thank you okay Kira what are those things on the table drumsticks to play with the drums good so this one's mine and that one's yours which one is my one longer is your one longer or are they both the same both same yeah good okay now which one's longer now my one your one or are they both the same your one my one's longer why do you say that cuz this one's more up and this one's more down very good thank you okay Kira look at these two glasses do they have the same amount of water in them yes okay so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to pour this glass into this glass okay mhm now do you think the glass this glass has more than this glass or are they both the same amount of water um glass this glass has more water and this glass has only a little bit why did they say that because this cup is small and this small this cup is Big okay excellent job thank you oh your picture of my kitty okay Kira who's your friend Emily is she going to help us today all right so let me just get Emily for a second put her right here okay let go all right so now see this green thing right here I'm going to pick a cup to put that on there okay now which cup did I put it under okay yeah just point to it and which cup do you think Emily is going to say I put under which one I think she's going to say this one okay all right now I'm just going to take Emily leave it alone leave it alone okay I want to take Emily and just put her over here in the coverboard okay I think she will this one put her in here real fast she can't see what we're going to do I'm going to take this put it under here okay all right so let me brought back Emily I think she's going to say this one you think she's going to say that one yeah why did you say that cuz she doesn't know which one why not because she didn't see oh very good very good thank you okay and what is your name [Music] Aon okay and how old are you Aaron o Larry today how old are you today six and on Friday I'm seven oh so in 2 days you're going to be seven yes I didn't know that I better get you a present huh I'm only joking all right here's what I want you to do you see all those pieces in the table Yeah I want you to count all the blue ones 11 you sure about that okay kind of good yes I'm sure how how would you be able to make sure there's there's a life in there well cuz eat is there a way you can make [Music] sure yeah go ahead okay so you can maybe line them up and then count them oh that's a great you want to try that okay four five 6 S8 9 10 11 yeah very good okay Aaron what you see the coins in front of you right yes how many rows of coins are there um okay 10 well there's 10 coins okay let me ask you a question what which row has the most coins is this row this row or are they both the same oh both the same okay ready go all right so does one row have more rows the other so does this row have more coins than this row or are they still both the same do they still have the same amount of coins on yes why did you say that because the only thing that you did was just move them and spad them apart ooh very good okay Aaron what are those in the table jcks okay so this one's mine that one's yours m is mine one longer is your one longer or are they both the same they are both the same okay yeah this one's my one that's one you're one are the is my one longer is your one longer or are they both the same they're still both the same why do you say that because if this one was longer it would have that go down to there so they would be equal oh very good okay Aon look at those two Quest two y do they have the same amount of water would you say pretty much the same amount of water let me say is it close close but they do not have the same all right I think that's same I don't think so looks pretty close though right yeah all right so you would say more or less they have the same amount of water just about right just about the same amount just about but I don't so I'm going to pour this glass into this glass yes all the water went in there okay so look at those two glasses which one has the most water or are they both the same do they both have the same amount of water in them we both have this in water now oh really yes because even though if this um is shorter than that one it it still has the same amount of water in it just because you put in here it was it was already equal to this one so it still has very good super smart thank you okay Aon Kira let us borrow Emily the cat to help us with this experiment okay okay all right so she can see what's going on too all right all right so look see this little green thing yeah I'm going to put it under this cup you saw that yes and I saw that so if I asked either of you guys which cup would it be under what would you say that cup okay now I'm going to take her hi her here you can't be see okay so now I'm bringing back Emily the C so if I were to ask Emily which cup is the green thing under which one do you think she would say that one why because when she was over here she saw that I under there okay very good
