Setting Up Camp

Everybody likes the island so much now that they want to stay for a night or two. That means they'll need tents to sleep in. They get together some driftwood, canvas and ropes but they need to measure the animals to get all the tents the right size. Unluckily, though, the Crew choose different lengths of stick to do their measuring and the tents are all completely the wrong size. They realise they should have the same length of stick. When they work that out things get a lot easier and the animals help put up the tents with them. All goes very well till Baby Bunting starts causing trouble again&

The sixty 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.
