[Upbeat music plays]
Laura stands in the Tree Fort. She wears a green turtle neck sweater and blue overalls. Laura’s brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail. Red, yellow and blue flags hand behind her. A pumpkin rests on a red crate.
Laura says, HEY
TVOKIDS, IT'S LAURA HERE.
AND IT'S FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.
NOW SMOKE ALARMS AND CARBON
MONOXIDE ALARMS SAVE LIVES BY
ALERTING US QUICKLY WHEN
SOMETHING IS WRONG.
BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO THAT IF TH
BATTERIES ARE WORKING.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE CHECK THEM.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH LUCAS TO
FIND OUT HOW.
Laura smiles.
Lucas crouches between a young boy with short brown hair and a tween girl with a ponytail. A girl with brown hair in a ponytail stands by the boy.
Lucas says, OKAY, WE ARE ON A HUNT TO
FIND YOUR SMOKE ALARM. AIDAN, WILL
YOU SHOW US WHERE YOUR SMOKE
ALARM IS? THERE HE GOES!
The boy, Aiden, runs down a hallway and points.
Lucas says, HE POINTS, HE SCORES.
THERE IT IS.
HEY, TVOKIDS, YOU GUYS ARE
HANGING OUT WITH LUCAS AS WELL
AS SOPHIE, AIDAN AND TAYLOR AND
THESE GUYS ARE HELPING US CHECK
OUR SMOKE ALARMS.
TAYLOR, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO
CHECK YOUR SMOKE ALARM?
Taylor, the tween girl, says, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK YOUR
SMOKE ALARMS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO
KNOW IF THERE IS A FIRE IN YOUR HOUSE.
Lucas says, YOU NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS
SOMETHING GOING DOWN, RIGHT.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK YOUR
SMOKE ALARMS, SOPHIE?
Sophie says, ONCE A MONTH.
Lucas says, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE
SHOULD BE DOING.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOUR SMOKE ALARM ISN'T WORKING.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
Taylor says, YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR PARENTS
THAT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES.
Lucas says, YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE
BATTERIES.
YOU ARE SMOKE ALARM EXPERTS.
I LOVE IT.
TAYLOR, WOULD YOU DO THE HONOUR,
TEST OUT THE SMOKE ALARM AND
SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT.
Lucas passes Taylor a pole.
Lucas says, HERE IT IS.
IT IS A BUTTON.
WE WILL PRESS IT.
[Beep]
He asks, IS IT GOING TO BE LOUD?
[Beeping]
Lucas says, IT IS!
Lucas, Taylor, Aiden and Sophie cover their ears.
Lucas says, THAT MEANS WE KNOW IT'S WORKING,
YOU GUYS. HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND.
TVOKIDS, MAKE SURE TO CHECK
YOUR SMOKE ALARMS ONCE A MONTH T
CAN ACTUALLY BE FUN.
Laura stands in the Tree Fort.
Laura says, OKAY.
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
NOW ONCE YOU CHECK THOSE ALARMS
MAKE SURE YOU HEAD TO
TVOKIDS.COM AND CHECK OUT OUR
PUSH TWO BUTTONS PAGE WHERE YOU
CAN ENTER IN HOW MANY BUTTONS

Laura says, NOW ONCE WE GET TO TEN THOUSAND
BUTTONS PUSHED OUR HOST ALSO DO
A REALLY SILLY CHALLENGE AND THE
BEST PART IS YOU GET TO DECIDE
WHAT THAT CHALLENGE IS ALSO ON
TVOKIDS.COM.
SO GO THERE, TELL US WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO US DO.
A LOT OF YOU WERE SAYING WE
SHOULD GET A WHIPPED CREAM PIE
IN THE FACE WHICH I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT. IT COULD BE FUN.
I MEAN THERE IS DEFINITELY GOT
TO BE OTHER CHALLENGES AND HUH?
A giant Matt walks behind the Tree Fort. His black hair hangs loose.
Giant Matt says, MMMM, THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS.
LET'S GIVE IT A TRY.
Giant Matt eats leaves.
[Crunching]
Laura says, HEY, HEY, YOU ARE
EATING YOU'RE TREE FORT!
STOP THAT.
Giant Matt says, OF COURSE I AM, IT'S
DELICIOUS. I AM THE INSATIABLE!
Laura says, WAIT A SECOND YOU
ARE A MATH TROLL.
Giant Matt the Math Troll says, THAT I AM.
AND IF YOU CAN'T SOLVE ALL THREE
OF MY EQUATIONS IN TEN SECONDS I
AM GOING TO EAT YOU AND YOU THE TREE FORT.
Laura asks, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LIKE ALL THREE MULTIPLICATION EQUATIONS?
The Math Troll says, THAT'S RIGHT.
Laura asks, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
DO THAT IN TEN SECONDS?
The Math Troll says, THAT IS NOT EXACTLY MY
PROBLEM, NOW, IS IT, GET READY
TO BE EATEN!
Laura says, WAIT. MATH TROLL.
TVOKIDS, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
I NEED TIME TO PROCESS THIS.
A cellphone icon appears and wiggles. Text reads “Incoming Call.”
[Buzzing, rock music plays]
Laura says, I SHOULD ANSWER THIS CALL-
HELLO, WHO IS CALLING?
[Upbeat music plays]
Two children say, HI.
Laura says, JOEY AND JULIA.
WHAT'S THE PASSWORD FOR THE FORT TODAY?
A child shouts, EIGHT!
Laura says, YES!
YOU ARE GOING UP IN THE SKY.
A girl with black hair and glasses sits beside a boy with short black hair.
Laura says, HEY, JULIA. HEY, JOEY. HOW'S IT GOING?
Text reads “Julia and Joey.”
Julia says, I’M GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?
Laura says, I AM GOOD.
DID YOU TWO SEE THAT MATH TROLL?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MATH TROLL BEFORE?
Julia nods. She and Joey smile.
[Laugh]
Julia says, NO.
Laura says, TOTALLY. I AGREE.
HAVE YOU GUYS MEMORIZED YOUR
MULTIPLICATION TABLES?
Julia nods and Joey shakes his head.
Julia says, YES.
Laura says, YOU HAVE? OKAY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR ME?
WHAT SHOULD DO I?
Joey says, I DON'T KNOW.
Julia says, SKIP COUNTING.
JUST NEED TO DO MULTIPLICATION
OR REPEATED ADDITION.
Laura says, THAT MAKES A LOT
MORE SENSE.
I THINK I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT.
BUT WE SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME CUTE VIDEOS.
SO LET'S CHECK OUT THE CHAMPION.
Text reads “Champion.”
Two fluffy white kittens snuggle together. One kitten sleeps as the other stretches a paw towards a camera.
Laura says, ALL RIGHT.
CHECK IT OUT.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS?
Joey smiles and says, IT'S CUTE.
Laura says, PRETTY CUTE.
IT LOOKS LIKE TWO LITTLE KITTENS.
WHAT WOULD YOU RATE THIS OUT OF TEN?
Joey says, TEN OUT OF TEN.
Laura repeatss, TEN OUT OF TEN?
Joey says, NO. SEVEN.
Laura repeats, SEVEN OUT OF TEN.
Laura says, OKAY. I LIKE IT.
I LIKE IT. LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THE CHALLENGER.
An announcer says, CHALLENGER!
Text reads “Challenger.”
A white hamster sits in a cat-shaped food bowl. The hamster nibbles kibble as a cat prowls around it.
Laura says, OKAY.
THIS IS A LITTLE HAMSTER.
WITH A CAT.
I THINK THEY ARE JUST HANGING
OUT. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
DO YOU THINK THIS IS CUTE?
Julia says, YES.
DEFINITELY A TEN OUT OF TEN.
Laura says, TEN OUT OF TEN FOR
THAT ONE?
Julia nods.
Laura says, OKAY.
SO THE HAMSTER IS THE WINNER!
I LOVE IT.
I THOUGHT THAT ONE WAS PRETTY
CUTE, TOO.
JULIA AND JOEY, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR HANGING OUT TODAY.
YOU'VE GIVEN ME SOME INSPIRATION
I THINK I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DEAL
WITH THIS MATH TROLL BUT WE WILL SEE.
THANKS, GUYS.
CALL AGAIN SOON!
Laura waves.
[Applause]
Julia says, THANK YOU.
Laura says, OH, THE MATH TROLL.
MAYBE I DON'T KNOW.
H'MM. OKAY.
NOW BACK TO THIS MATH TROLL ISSUE.
HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO
SOLVE THREE MULTIPLICATION
QUESTIONS IN TEN SECONDS WITHOUT
DOING ANY WORK?
THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE.
I KNOW!
I'LL CALL AVA FROM BIG TOP
ACADEMY AND FROM WACKY NUMBER
SONGS, OF COURSE.
SHE IS A MATH EXPERT AFTERALL. OKAY.
LET ME JUST TEXT HER AND SEE IF
SHE IS AVAILABLE.
Laura reads as she types, UM, HEY, AVA,
ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER A QUESTION FOR ME?
HOPEFULLY SHE IS AROUND.
Ava appears in the sky. She wears her long brown hair loose. Ava smiles.
Laura says, AVA, HI!
Ava says, HI.
Text reads “Ava, Wacky Number Songs.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Laura asks, HOW'S IT GOING?
Ava says, GREAT.
Laura says, I AM SO THANKFUL
THAT YOU ARE HERE RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
AN ISSUE WITH A MATH TROLL.
Ava says, OH.
Laura explains, HE WANTS ME TO SOLVE
THREE MULTIPLICATION EQUATIONS
IN TEN SECONDS AND I HAVE NO
IDEA HOW I AM GOING TO DO THAT.
Ava says, YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE YOUR
MATH TABLES.
Laura repeats, MEMORIZE MY MATH TABLES.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Ava says, WELL, YOU GOTTA MEMORIZE YOUR
MATH TABLES OFF BY HEART.
KIND OF LIKE MEMORIZING LYRICS TO A SONG.
Laura says, OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
THAT KIND OF MAKES SENSE.BUT SOMETIMES MEMORIZING THINGS
SEEMS A BIT TOUGH.
I MEAN YOU MUST HAVE TO MEMORIZE
A LOT OF LINES FOR BIG TOP ACADEMY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ON HOW TO
DO IT?
Ava says, WELL, MEMORIZATION IS HARD
SOMETIMES BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO
BE PATIENT AND TRY YOUR BEST. A
TIP I USE FOR MEMORIZING LINES IS RIGHT
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP I MEMORIZE
IT SO IT'S THE LAST THING
I THINK ABOUT AND WHEN I WAKE UP
IN THE MORNING, IT'S LIKE I KNEW
THEM BETTER THAN DID I THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Laura says, HEY, THAT IS A
REALLY, REALLY GOOD TIP.
TO DO IT RIGHT BEFORE BED SO
IT'S THE LAST THING YOU'VE SEEN.
I WILL TRY TO MEMORIZE MY MATH
TABLES BUT JUST IN CASE I DON'T
DO IT THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I MEAN WHO KNOWS.
I AM STILL KIND OF SCARED OF
THIS MATH TROLL SO I DON'T KNOW.
Ava says, OH, DON'T WORRY, LAURA, YOU
WILL BE TOTALLY FINE.
JUST WATCH THIS SONG.
I WROTE ABOUT IT.
Laura says, OKAY, LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Ava and Laura smile.
Text reads “TVOkids presents.”
[Energetic music plays]
Smiling animated numbers with large round eyes bounce. Text reads “Wacky Number Songs.”
[Boing, boing, boing, boing]
Zoey sings, IT’S THE WACKY WACKY NUMBERS SONGS
OH, YEAH,
Text reads “With Ava.”
[Energetic music plays]
Ava walks with her arms out beside her as she looks down. She wears a long-sleeved yellow shirt and blue overalls. Ava’s brown hair hangs in two braids.
Ava says, IF YOU HAD TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOUR FEET ARE DOING EVERY
TIME YOU TAKE A STEP IT WOULD BE
REALLY ANNOYING.
CALCULATING IS A BIT LIKE
WALKING. IT SHOULD COME EASY.
THAT'S WHY MEMORIZING MATH
TABLES IS THE BEST.
KNOW THEM BY HEART AND YOU WILL
FEEL CONFIDENT TO TAKE ON ANY
MATH PROBLEM.
[Jaunty music plays]
Ava wears a red hand. She wears a red vest over a white blouse. Her wears her brown hair loose.
MEMORIZE MATH TABLES LIKE A SONG
AND YOU WON'T GO WRONG.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A MATH TROLL
MIGHT COME ALONG.
A math troll says, TO GET THROUGH
MY GATE, MUST KNOW THE MULTIPLICATION
TABLE OF EIGHT.
Ava says, I MEMORIZED THAT.
EIGHT TIMES ONE THAT IS EIGHT
THAT'S EASIEST TO CALCULATE.
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES TWO EQUALS SIXTEEN
I DON'T NEEDA COUNTING MACHINE.
Text reads “eight times two equals sixteen”.
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES THREE IS TWENTY-FOUR.
I KNOW MY TABLES SO IT'S NOT A CHORE.
Text reads “eight times three equals twenty-four.”
The math troll says, BUT NEED TO KNOW STILL MORE
IF YOU WANT ME TO OPEN THIS DOOR.
Ava says, NO PROBLEM.
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES FOUR IS THIRTY-TWO
I MEMORIZE THAT'S WHAT I DO
Text reads “eight times four equals thirty-two.” “Eight times five equals forty.”
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES FIVE EQUALS FORTY
I LEARNED IT BY HEART IS THE KEY.
FORTY-EIGHT, FIFTY-SIX,
SIXTY-FOUR, SEVENTY-TWO, EIGHTY.
An eight times table reads
“Eight times four equals thirty-two
Eight times five equals forty
Eight times six equals forty-eight.
Eight times seven equals fifty-six.
Eight times eight equals sixty-four.
Eight times nine equals seventy-two.
Eight times ten equals eighty.”
[Math troll growls]
The math troll says, I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO LET YOU THROUGH. SO NOW DIVISION IS
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
Ava says, DON'T BOTHER, TROLL.
I'VE MEMORIZED THOSE, TOO.
I KNOW THAT SIXTY-FOUR DIVIDED BY EIGHT = EIGHT.
LEARNING BY HEART OPEN THE GATE.
Text reads “sixty-four divided by eight equals eight.”
Text reads “Poof” and the math troll disappears.
[Poof, grumble, chimes]
The door opens and reveals math multiplication tables.
Ava sings, LEARNING BY HEART OPENED THE GATE.
[Laugh, slide whistle]
[Upbeat music plays, whoosh]
Ava wears a long-sleeved yellow shirt and blue overalls. Ava’s brown hair hangs in two braids.
Ava says, MEMORIZING MATH TABLES MAKES
SOLVING AN EQUATION IN YOUR HEAD
MUCH QUICKER THAN USING YOUR FINGERS.
THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE THE
ANSWERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT
RUN INTO A MATH TROLL.
Ava gives two thumbs up.
[Growl]
[Upbeat music plays]
Laura stands beside a math table propped up on an easel. The top and side lines on the table count from one to ten. The top left square has a multiplication symbol in it. The bottom right corner has one hundred in it. One number per line is highlighted in yellow, creating a diagonal line from the multiplication symbol to one hundred. The highlighted numbers are one, four, nine, sixteen, twenty-five, thirty-six, forty-none, sixty-four, eighty-one and one hundred.
Laura says, OKAY, TVOKIDS, THAT SONG WAS
SUPER HELPFUL AND CHECK IT OUT I
GOT MY MATH TABLES HERE AND I
NOTICED SOMETHING REALLY COOL.
THESE ONES IN YELLOW THERE IS
ONLY ONE OF THEM BUT EVERY OTHER
NUMBER HAS A TWIN.
LOOK, THIRTY, THIRTY, TWENTY-EIGHT, TWENTY-EIGHT.
IT'S ACTUALLY A MIRROR OF ITSELF.
SO SIX TIMES TWO IS TWELVE AND TWO TIMES SIX
IS TWELVE.
AND FIVE TIMES TWO IS TEN AND TWO TIMES
FIVE IS TEN.
IT'S REALLY COOL.
I MEAN IT IS ACTUALLY AWESOME
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
The math troll says, HELLO!
I SEE YOU ARE DOING SOME STUDYING.
WELL, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH.
IT'S TIME FOR TO YOU ANSWER
THREE EQUATIONS IN TEN SECONDS.
ARE YOU READY?
Laura confidently says, YES, I AM TOTALLY READY.
I CAN TOTALLY ANSWER YOUR
MULTIPLICATION QUESTIONS.
The math troll asks, WHAT'S TWO TIMES SEVEN?
Laura answers, IT'S FOURTEEN.
The math troll asks, WHAT'S SEVEN TIMES EIGHT?
Laura says, IT'S FIFTY-SIX.
The math troll asks, WHAT'S NINE TIMES NINE?
Laura answers, IT'S EIGHTY-ONE.
The math troll asks, HOW DID YOU DO THIS?
I AM GOING TO WASTE AWAY.
Laura says, THAT'S RIGHT. I
DID IT, TROLL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO EAT SOME
APPLES FROM AN APPLE TREE OR SOMETHING.
The troll says, I DON'T EVEN LIKE APPLES.
I NEED TO FIND SOME CHICKEN!
Laura says, BYE, TROLL.
[Serene music plays]
A buck turns his head. Two owls perch in a tree. A sheep chews quickly. A crowd runs on a street.
An announcer says, A MARATHON IS COMING.
Ms. O asks, CAN YOU FIND SOMEONE TO RUN IT?
Oscar says, I CAN RUN THIS.
An announcer says, JOIN US FOR THE ODD SQUAD

A man in a green lounge jacket asks, ARE WE
ABOUT TO DO MORE RUNNING?
[Deep breath]
[Cheerful music plays]
Wrapped presents wiggle. A white dog with a pink bow by its ear sits by a cake.
A singer sings, HEY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND

Candles spell “Happy birthday.”
A robot opens its chest and inside candles burn on a cake. Doughnuts spin. Dogs wear sunglasses. A girl blows out candles on a cake.
The singer sings, HEY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND A
BIRTHDAY IS A GOOD WAY FOR YOUR
FRIENDS AND YOUR PARENTS AND
COUSINS AND PETS TO WISH YOU THE

AT THE CHALLENGER.
An announcer says, CHALLENGER!
Text reads “Challenger.”
A white hamster sits in a cat-shaped food bowl. The hamster nibbles kibble as a cat prowls around it.
Laura says, OKAY.
THIS IS A LITTLE HAMSTER.
WITH A CAT.
I THINK THEY ARE JUST HANGING
OUT. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
DO YOU THINK THIS IS CUTE?
Julia says, YES.
DEFINITELY A TEN OUT OF TEN.
Laura says, TEN OUT OF TEN FOR
THAT ONE?
Julia nods.
Laura says, OKAY.
SO THE HAMSTER IS THE WINNER!
I LOVE IT.
I THOUGHT THAT ONE WAS PRETTY
CUTE, TOO.
JULIA AND JOEY, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR HANGING OUT TODAY.
YOU'VE GIVEN ME SOME INSPIRATION
I THINK I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DEAL
WITH THIS MATH TROLL BUT WE WILL SEE.
THANKS, GUYS.
CALL AGAIN SOON!
Laura waves.
[Applause]
Julia says, THANK YOU.
Laura says, OH, THE MATH TROLL.
MAYBE I DON'T KNOW.
H'MM. OKAY.
NOW BACK TO THIS MATH TROLL ISSUE.
HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO
SOLVE THREE MULTIPLICATION
QUESTIONS IN TEN SECONDS WITHOUT
DOING ANY WORK?
THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE.
I KNOW!
I'LL CALL AVA FROM BIG TOP
ACADEMY AND FROM WACKY NUMBER
SONGS, OF COURSE.
SHE IS A MATH EXPERT AFTERALL. OKAY.
LET ME JUST TEXT HER AND SEE IF
SHE IS AVAILABLE.
Laura reads as she types, UM, HEY, AVA,
ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER A QUESTION FOR ME?
HOPEFULLY SHE IS AROUND.
Ava appears in the sky. She wears her long brown hair loose. Ava smiles.
Laura says, AVA, HI!
Ava says, HI.
Text reads “Ava, Wacky Number Songs.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Laura asks, HOW'S IT GOING?
Ava says, GREAT.
Laura says, I AM SO THANKFUL
THAT YOU ARE HERE RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
AN ISSUE WITH A MATH TROLL.
Ava says, OH.
Laura explains, HE WANTS ME TO SOLVE
THREE MULTIPLICATION EQUATIONS
IN TEN SECONDS AND I HAVE NO
IDEA HOW I AM GOING TO DO THAT.
Ava says, YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE YOUR
MATH TABLES.
Laura repeats, MEMORIZE MY MATH TABLES.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Ava says, WELL, YOU GOTTA MEMORIZE YOUR
MATH TABLES OFF BY HEART.
KIND OF LIKE MEMORIZING LYRICS TO A SONG.
Laura says, OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
THAT KIND OF MAKES SENSE.BUT SOMETIMES MEMORIZING THINGS
SEEMS A BIT TOUGH.
I MEAN YOU MUST HAVE TO MEMORIZE
A LOT OF LINES FOR BIG TOP ACADEMY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ON HOW TO
DO IT?
Ava says, WELL, MEMORIZATION IS HARD
SOMETIMES BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO
BE PATIENT AND TRY YOUR BEST. A
TIP I USE FOR MEMORIZING LINES IS RIGHT
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP I MEMORIZE
IT SO IT'S THE LAST THING
I THINK ABOUT AND WHEN I WAKE UP
IN THE MORNING, IT'S LIKE I KNEW
THEM BETTER THAN DID I THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Laura says, HEY, THAT IS A
REALLY, REALLY GOOD TIP.
TO DO IT RIGHT BEFORE BED SO
IT'S THE LAST THING YOU'VE SEEN.
I WILL TRY TO MEMORIZE MY MATH
TABLES BUT JUST IN CASE I DON'T
DO IT THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I MEAN WHO KNOWS.
I AM STILL KIND OF SCARED OF
THIS MATH TROLL SO I DON'T KNOW.
Ava says, OH, DON'T WORRY, LAURA, YOU
WILL BE TOTALLY FINE.
JUST WATCH THIS SONG.
I WROTE ABOUT IT.
Laura says, OKAY, LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Ava and Laura smile.
Text reads “TVOkids presents.”
[Energetic music plays]
Smiling animated numbers with large round eyes bounce. Text reads “Wacky Number Songs.”
[Boing, boing, boing, boing]
Zoey sings, IT’S THE WACKY WACKY NUMBERS SONGS
OH, YEAH,
Text reads “With Ava.”
[Energetic music plays]
Ava walks with her arms out beside her as she looks down. She wears a long-sleeved yellow shirt and blue overalls. Ava’s brown hair hangs in two braids.
Ava says, IF YOU HAD TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOUR FEET ARE DOING EVERY
TIME YOU TAKE A STEP IT WOULD BE
REALLY ANNOYING.
CALCULATING IS A BIT LIKE
WALKING. IT SHOULD COME EASY.
THAT'S WHY MEMORIZING MATH
TABLES IS THE BEST.
KNOW THEM BY HEART AND YOU WILL
FEEL CONFIDENT TO TAKE ON ANY
MATH PROBLEM.
[Jaunty music plays]
Ava wears a red hand. She wears a red vest over a white blouse. Her wears her brown hair loose.
MEMORIZE MATH TABLES LIKE A SONG
AND YOU WON'T GO WRONG.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A MATH TROLL
MIGHT COME ALONG.
A math troll says, TO GET THROUGH
MY GATE, MUST KNOW THE MULTIPLICATION
TABLE OF EIGHT.
Ava says, I MEMORIZED THAT.
EIGHT TIMES ONE THAT IS EIGHT
THAT'S EASIEST TO CALCULATE.
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES TWO EQUALS SIXTEEN
I DON'T NEEDA COUNTING MACHINE.
Text reads “eight times two equals sixteen”.
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES THREE IS TWENTY-FOUR.
I KNOW MY TABLES SO IT'S NOT A CHORE.
Text reads “eight times three equals twenty-four.”
The math troll says, BUT NEED TO KNOW STILL MORE
IF YOU WANT ME TO OPEN THIS DOOR.
Ava says, NO PROBLEM.
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES FOUR IS THIRTY-TWO
I MEMORIZE THAT'S WHAT I DO
Text reads “eight times four equals thirty-two.” “Eight times five equals forty.”
Ava sings, EIGHT TIMES FIVE EQUALS FORTY
I LEARNED IT BY HEART IS THE KEY.
FORTY-EIGHT, FIFTY-SIX,
SIXTY-FOUR, SEVENTY-TWO, EIGHTY.
An eight times table reads
“Eight times four equals thirty-two
Eight times five equals forty
Eight times six equals forty-eight.
Eight times seven equals fifty-six.
Eight times eight equals sixty-four.
Eight times nine equals seventy-two.
Eight times ten equals eighty.”
[Math troll growls]
The math troll says, I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO LET YOU THROUGH. SO NOW DIVISION IS
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
Ava says, DON'T BOTHER, TROLL.
I'VE MEMORIZED THOSE, TOO.
I KNOW THAT SIXTY-FOUR DIVIDED BY EIGHT = EIGHT.
LEARNING BY HEART OPEN THE GATE.
Text reads “sixty-four divided by eight equals eight.”
Text reads “Poof” and the math troll disappears.
[Poof, grumble, chimes]
The door opens and reveals math multiplication tables.
Ava sings, LEARNING BY HEART OPENED THE GATE.
[Laugh, slide whistle]
[Upbeat music plays, whoosh]
Ava wears a long-sleeved yellow shirt and blue overalls. Ava’s brown hair hangs in two braids.
Ava says, MEMORIZING MATH TABLES MAKES
SOLVING AN EQUATION IN YOUR HEAD
MUCH QUICKER THAN USING YOUR FINGERS.
THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE THE
ANSWERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT
RUN INTO A MATH TROLL.
Ava gives two thumbs up.
[Growl]
[Upbeat music plays]
Laura stands beside a math table propped up on an easel. The top and side lines on the table count from one to ten. The top left square has a multiplication symbol in it. The bottom right corner has one hundred in it. One number per line is highlighted in yellow, creating a diagonal line from the multiplication symbol to one hundred. The highlighted numbers are one, four, nine, sixteen, twenty-five, thirty-six, forty-none, sixty-four, eighty-one and one hundred.
Laura says, OKAY, TVOKIDS, THAT SONG WAS
SUPER HELPFUL AND CHECK IT OUT I
GOT MY MATH TABLES HERE AND I
NOTICED SOMETHING REALLY COOL.
THESE ONES IN YELLOW THERE IS
ONLY ONE OF THEM BUT EVERY OTHER
NUMBER HAS A TWIN.
LOOK, THIRTY, THIRTY, TWENTY-EIGHT, TWENTY-EIGHT.
IT'S ACTUALLY A MIRROR OF ITSELF.
SO SIX TIMES TWO IS TWELVE AND TWO TIMES SIX
IS TWELVE.
AND FIVE TIMES TWO IS TEN AND TWO TIMES
FIVE IS TEN.
IT'S REALLY COOL.
I MEAN IT IS ACTUALLY AWESOME
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
The math troll says, HELLO!
I SEE YOU ARE DOING SOME STUDYING.
WELL, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH.
IT'S TIME FOR TO YOU ANSWER
THREE EQUATIONS IN TEN SECONDS.
ARE YOU READY?
Laura confidently says, YES, I AM TOTALLY READY.
I CAN TOTALLY ANSWER YOUR
MULTIPLICATION QUESTIONS.
The math troll asks, WHAT'S TWO TIMES SEVEN?
Laura answers, IT'S FOURTEEN.
The math troll asks, WHAT'S SEVEN TIMES EIGHT?
Laura says, IT'S FIFTY-SIX.
The math troll asks, WHAT'S NINE TIMES NINE?
Laura answers, IT'S EIGHTY-ONE.
The math troll asks, HOW DID YOU DO THIS?
I AM GOING TO WASTE AWAY.
Laura says, THAT'S RIGHT. I
DID IT, TROLL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO EAT SOME
APPLES FROM AN APPLE TREE OR SOMETHING.
The troll says, I DON'T EVEN LIKE APPLES.
I NEED TO FIND SOME CHICKEN!
Laura says, BYE, TROLL.
[Serene music plays]
A buck turns his head. Two owls perch in a tree. A sheep chews quickly. A crowd runs on a street.
An announcer says, A MARATHON IS COMING.
Ms. O asks, CAN YOU FIND SOMEONE TO RUN IT?
Oscar says, I CAN RUN THIS.
An announcer says, JOIN US FOR THE ODD SQUAD

A man in a green lounge jacket asks, ARE WE
ABOUT TO DO MORE RUNNING?
[Deep breath]
[Cheerful music plays]
Wrapped presents wiggle. A white dog with a pink bow by its ear sits by a cake.
A singer sings, HEY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME WAY
BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
THAT WE CARE ABOUT YOU.
YOU ARE UNIQUE.
YOU ARE ON FIRE.
AND YOU SMELL GREAT, TOO.
Candles spell “Happy birthday.”
A robot opens its chest and inside candles burn on a cake. Doughnuts spin. Dogs wear sunglasses. A girl blows out candles on a cake.
The singer sings, HEY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND A
BIRTHDAY IS A GOOD WAY FOR YOUR
FRIENDS AND YOUR PARENTS AND
COUSINS AND PETS TO WISH YOU THE
BEST DAY YOU EVER DID HAVE. HEY!
[Upbeat music plays]
Matt stands beside a sign that reads “Happy birthday.” He wears a purple shirt and wears his black curly hair loose.
