Instructor: Hi Christian. How old are you?

Christian: Four and a half.

Instructor: Four and a half. That's good. Well, we're going to play a game with these today. Do you know what these are?

Christian: Animal crackers.

Instructor: They are animal crackers. Now, watch what I'm going to do them. I'm going to put some animal crackers out here on the table. OK. So put these out like this, some more.

Christian: Unicorn.

Instructor: Oh really? Wow. And then I'm going to put some here—

Christian: Going to make an L?

Instructor: —and here, and here, and here, and there. OK?

Christian: OK. Why not one more?

Instructor: Now look what we've got here. Let's pretend these are your animal. crackers, and these are my animal crackers. Now, tell me something. Do we have the same number of animal crackers? Like if you were going to eat all your animal crackers and I ate all mine, would we have the same number of animal crackers to eat?

Christian: Here. There's one, two, three, four, five, six. And one, two, three, four, five, six.

Instructor: So we have the same. Is that right? OK. Now watch what I'm going to do with my crackers. I'm going to do this. Watch me do it. OK. Now, do we still have the same number of animal crackers, or does one of us have more?

Christian: Here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

Instructor: Mmm. So do we have the same number to eat, or does one of us have more?

Christian: One of us has more. You.

Instructor: I have more? Well, that's kind of not fair is it? How can you tell that I have more?

Christian: Because it's a big line like rrrrrrrt.

Instructor: Oh. It's a big line. Boy, you're right about that. Well, let me do this. Watch what I do now. I'm going to do this with my crackers. OK. Now, do we have the same number of crackers, or does one of us have more?

Christian: Here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven— I mean one, two, three, four, five, six.

Instructor: So do we have the same number of crackers to eat?

Christian: Yeah.

Instructor: Yeah. So if you ate your crackers and I ate mine, we'd have the same number to eat. Is that right?

Christian: Yeah.

Instructor: OK. Now watch what I do with these. I'm going to do this with mine. Now, do we still have the same number of crackers to eat or does one of us have more?

Christian: Here. One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six.

Instructor: So do we have the same number of crackers to eat, or does one of us have more?

Christian: One of us has more.

Instructor: Who has more?

Christian: Me.

Instructor: You have more. How can you tell that you have more?

Christian: Because I have a bigger line, and you have a smaller line.

Instructor: I see. OK. Well, I'm going to fix that, hadn't I? There we go. Now, do we have the same number of crackers to eat?

Christian: One, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six.

Instructor: So do we have the same number of crackers to eat?

Christian: Yeah.

Instructor: Good. That's good. Thank you Christian. That was very good.
