The seventy Number Crew programmes
bring maths to life for 5 to 7 year olds, providing an entertaining
and imaginative world for children to enjoy and explore maths. The
action takes place aboard an unusual cruise ship, the SS Mathematical,
where the human crew do their best to look after a collection of
animal passengers.
In each programme the crew encounter a mathematical problem. Viewers
are encouraged to join the Number Crew in learning the mental strategies
and skills they need to solve the problem. A rich mixture of 3-D
and 2-D animation, story, song, spectacular studio sequences and
real life images combine to make a very successful and popular series.
