Take one healthy measure of math, blend in two cousins and their wacky Uncle Norm. Next mix in some mayhem, music, a lot of laughs, and a big serving of learning. It's a formula that amounts to plenty of mathe-magical fun with the Prime Radicals! This new live action series for kids aged 6-8 is compelling and entertaining - never didactic - and uses humourous, hands-on, real-world scenarios to make numbers cool for kids, based on the math curriculum for young learners.
Each live action episode takes viewers to Uncle Norm's workshop, usually the scene of his latest mishap or misadventure. The Radicals - cousins Kevin and Alanna - come to the rescue every time. They enlist experts - a firefighter, construction worker, photographer, and even a maze-builder - to help them solve Uncle Norm's problems with mathematical solutions. They also use their super cool, hi-tech pull-down screen to look up information and demonstrate fascinating facts about the topic. Then they take all the stuff they've learned and use it to safely carry out the project of the day. By the end of the episode, the audience is left with an activity that they can do at home which relates to the project of the day.
From finding lost items with a grid to using hands as measuring tools, the Rads have it covered. Shot in a "reality" style, and using cool music, engaging graphics, and wacky sound effects, The Prime Radicals takes the mystery out of math and puts the fun back into learning!
