Narrator: Math is everywhere.

And with the Math Mess video series, students travel to places like amusement parks, shopping malls, and pizza shops, where they meet engaging, but mathematically-challenged characters.   

Carla: Oh, why do they make this stuff so confusing? There’s got to be a way to figure this out!

Narrator: Students find themselves square in the middle of a real-life Math Mess…

Marko: Thank you, everybody!  I’m Marko the Magnificent! 

Narrator: …a problem that requires an inquisitive mind, determination and a little number sense to solve!

Tito: It’s double the size, so it’s double the price! 19.99!

Narrator: Uh…Tito?  You charge that and you’re gonna go broke!

Tito: WHAT!  WHHHY?!  Double the pizza for double the price!  Hello?

Narrator: These short, animated videos each come with their own Teacher’s Guide to aid educators in the classroom – offering suggested solutions and extension activities that align to the Common Core mathematics standards.

Narrator: So, give students the chance to clean up these messes, using the power of math!

Cory: How am I gonna do that?

Cory’s Mom: Cory, who are you talking to?
