The Last Number You Count Tells How Many

Five red apples sit close together and are counted one at a time, with a number popping up under each apple. The last number, 5, goes onto a card. Then the apples are spread far apart and counted again, and the new last number matches the card, showing that spreading them out does not change how many there are. The scene is in scenes/lib_math_the_last_number_you_count_tells_how_many.py; it has 11 spoken lines and renders without errors (about 40 seconds silent, roughly 50 to 60 seconds with the voice). I checked the frame sheets twice and made the apples and numbers bigger after the first look. Nothing overlaps, everything stays inside the frame and the top left corner is empty. I haven't heard it with real narration yet, so how well the counting lines up with the voice is still unchecked.

What the lesson says
Look at all these red apples. How many apples can you see?
Let's count them. Touch each apple and say one number.
One, two, three, four, five.
The last number we said was five.
That tells us there are five apples.
Now we spread out the apples, far apart.
The row looks longer. Do we have more apples now?
Let's count them again to find out.
One, two, three, four, five.
We still have five apples. Spreading out does not change how many.
The last number you count tells how many.
