Rosie's Helping Hands

A kindergarten lesson on fingers as a math tool. Rosie the raccoon leads a count to 10 with fingers, then children tell how many fingers are up by matching dot cards, see a full hand as 5, show 4 and 8 on on-screen hands, and sort numbers into "one hand" or "two hands". Every direction is read aloud, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint.
