Wolf asked the Piggy
Want some chocolate?
There was a secret
Secret inside
Every time he took a piece
It was an odd number L

When Piggy ate the chocolate
He had an odd feeling
1,3,5……………..7,9
His whole day was odd
Wasn’t that odd?

CHORUS
All the odd numbers
Look like Ls
Odd numbers
Are L structures
Odd numbers
They look like Ls

 

 

Here’s a 5 by 5 square
25 dots
Make 5 odd numbers
A secret inside
1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Here’s a 4 by 4 square
16 dots
Make 4 odd numbers
A secret inside
1, 3, 5, and 7

Here’s a 3 x 3 square
9 dots
Make 3 odd numbers
A secret inside
1, 3, 5
1, 3, 5
1, 3, 5

CHORUS
All the odd numbers
Look like Ls
Odd numbers
Are L structures
Odd numbers
They look like Ls
