Nine
Numberblocks Nine: A Square Journey Through 3x3 Symmetry
Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in my first row
Three blocks in the first row, counting numbers 1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in my second
Three blocks in the second row, counting numbers 1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in my third row
Three blocks in the third row, counting numbers 1, 2, 3.
3 rows of 3 3 rows combined
There are three rows of three, and they are combined.
As you can see 3 rows of 3 make 9
Explaining that three rows of three blocks make a total of nine.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
Counting from 1 to 9.
Ooh, tickly nose!
An exclamation about a tickly nose.
I'm fine!
A response indicating being fine.
1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in a column
Three blocks in a column, counting numbers 1, 2, 3.
1, 2, 3, 3 blocks top to bottom
Three blocks arranged top to bottom in a column.
1, 2, 3, 3 blocks if you've got them
Three blocks in a column, if you have them.
3 lots of 3 3 in a line
Three sets of three blocks arranged in a line.
As you can see
Reiteration of the visual representation of three sets of three blocks making nine.
3 lots of 3 make 9...
Affirmation that three sets of three indeed make nine.
That's right!
Confirmation of the correctness of the statement.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Counting from 1 to 9 again.
I'm 3 blocks up and down
Being three blocks in height.
And 3 from side to side
Being three blocks wide.
I'm the same in both directions
Expressing symmetry, being as tall as wide.
I'm as tall as I am wide
Stating the reason for being square.
That's why I'm square like you
Comparing the squareness with another entity.
I'm 3 by 3 You're 2 by 2
Describing the square dimensions, 3 by 3.
I'm 2 by 2 You're 3 by 3
Reciprocal description of square dimensions, 2 by 2.
That's why you're square like me
Explaining the reciprocal square nature of the entities.
We seem a very unlikely pair
Noting the initial perception of dissimilarity.
But now you've explained it I see the squareness we share
Understanding and acknowledging the shared square attributes.
I'm 2 blocks up and down
Being two blocks in height.
And 2 from side to side
Being two blocks wide.
I'm the same in both directions
Expressing symmetry, being as tall as wide.
I'm as tall as I am wide
Reiterating the reason for being square.
That's why I'm square like you
Comparing the squareness with the previously mentioned entity.
I'm 3 by 3
Reiterating the square dimensions, 3 by 3.
I'm 2 by 2
Reiterating the square dimensions, 2 by 2.
That's why I'm square...
Affirming the square nature of the entity.
Yes, I am square like you
Reaffirmation of being square like the other entity.
I'm 3 by 3 You're 2 by 2
Describing the square dimensions again.
I'm 2 by 2 You're 3 by 3
Reciprocal description of square dimensions again.
That's why you're square
Stating the reason for the other entity being square.
That's why you're square
Reiterating the reason for the other entity being square.
That's why you're square like me
Stating the common square attributes.
1, 2, 3, 4
Counting from 1 to 4.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!
Counting from 1 to 9 once more.
