Round is a pancake,
Round is a plum,
Round is a doughnut,
Round is a drum.
Round is a puppy,
Curled up on a rug.
Round are the spots,
On a wee ladybug.
Look all around,
On the ground, in the air,
You will find round things everywhere!

Math is everywhere, everyday
From the time you arise

To the end of the day
It's seen in the most unusual place
The beauty and surprise

Makes your heart race

I see circle everywhere
I see circle in clock
Tick tick tick tock
I see circle in plate
More more more
I see circle in wheel
Beep beep beep
I see circle in light
Cross cross cross
I see circle in ok
Right right right
I see circle in globe
No wonder
Why there are so many circles all around us!

Math is everywhere, everyday
From the time you arise

To the end of the day
It's seen in the most unusual place
The beauty and surprise

Makes your heart race
