The Grand Old Duke of York - Song

Lyrics: Oh, the grand old Duke of York

He had ten thousand men

He marched them up to the top of the hill

And he marched them down again

And when they were up, they were up

And when they were down, they were down

And when they were only half-way up

They were neither up nor down

• Repeat as many times as desired

Even though this song has few numbers, it covers the following mathematical concepts:

• Top, bottom, half, up, down, opposites

It can be beneficial to move your child up and down as you sing this song to them. Other suggestions would be to use visual aides such as puppets, stuffed animals, or a video like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWWNFB8grkw
