The number 12 song
I’m rectangular 12,
I’m ten and two.
I make arrays, that’s what I do.
When I put my blocks in columns and rows,
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Three!
By four!
Today’s the day for an array display,
I can make arrays all day.
I make arrays in many ways,
Stand back, let’s play
Array’s away!
Three by four is my first array,
Three lots of four,
You could put it that way.
And if you’re not following what I say,
I’ll rectify that right away.
Break away!
Three fours!
A four,
And a four,
And a four!
Rectangle rise.
Turn!
I’m rectangular 12,
I’m ten and two,
I make arrays, that’s what I do.
When I put my blocks in columns and rows,
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Four!
By three!
Four by three’s my next array,
Four lots of three,
You could put it that way.
And this rectangular display is about to show you how it’s made.
Break away!
Four threes!
Look at me,
Look at me,
Look at me,
Switch!
I’m rectangular 12,
I’m ten and two.
I make arrays, that’s what I do.
When I put my blocks in columns and rows,
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Two!
By six!
Two by six is another way,
Two lots of six.
Do you hear what I say?
Another rectangular array…
So, let’s split!
Without delay,
Break away!
Two Sixes,
Let’s roll,
Double six.
Turn!
I’m rectangular 12,
I’m ten and two.
I make arrays,
That’s what I do.
When I put my blocks in columns and rows,
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Six!
By two!
Six by two is next in line,
Six lots of two,
It’s a clever design.
And if you want to see how all this fits,
I can break it all to bits.
Break away!
Six twos!
A one two,
One two,
One two,
One two,
One two.
Array’s away!
One by 12, switch!
Two by six, switch!
Three by four, turn!
Four by three, switch!
Six by two, switch!
Twelve by one, break away!
Twelve ones!
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
Eleven.
Twelve.
It’s a new craze,
To coin a phrase.
You’ll be in a daze,
When you fix your gaze
On my amazing array displays.
