Teacher's Script: "Let's count our pennies now. How many do you see? That's right, fifteen! Let's count them together: one, two, three, ..., fourteen, fifteen. Fifteen is five more than ten. Can you see how it's made up of ten pennies plus five more? This pattern continues for all the teen numbers. Can you think of any real-life situations where you might count to fifteen?"
