=====================
Maths is depicted as an intimidating robot with mathematical equipment such as set squares and protractors as weapons. Mathematics is likened to other endeavours such as sport, games, baking and martial arts. Some applications of mathematics are shown and we learn that mathematics helps build our world. We are shown that through effort and training, one can understand and enjoy mathematics.
This clip is from the BBC series Kick Sum Maths. The best fun anyone can have learning maths! A mixed-media mash-up maths sketch show delivering KS2 maths.
Each subject flows seamlessly from one teaching point to the next, using animation, puppetry, live action and visual effects to bring maths to life in a whole new way. It has an anarchic, dangerous look and feel, captivating children from the outset and engaging them all the way through the clearly explained maths.
Topics covered include prime numbers, finding factor pairs, shapes and angles, perimeter and area, scale and coordinates, pie charts, fractions and decimals, percentages, the order of operations and an introduction to algebra.
