The Harbour Market
Learning topics: Coin and bill values: Canadian denominations (nickel 5¢, dime 10¢, quarter 25¢, loonie $1, toonie $2, $5 and $20 bills), taught through the animals on the coins Estimating a total cost: rope $6 + oil $4 + chart $3, "about thirteen", exact $13 Budgeting: the brass bell at $12…

How Heavy, How Full
Learning topics: Capacity: measuring which jar holds more (short wide jar = 8 cupfuls beats tall thin jar = 6); "measuring beats guessing" Mass vs volume: two equal-size crates — cork floats (small mass) vs anchor chain (great mass) Time measured by counting: twenty cupfuls at ten counts each =…

Tenths of the Sea
Learning topics: Fractions to tenths: 3 of 10 steps under water = three tenths Fraction–decimal equivalence, said aloud: "three tenths, written 3 over 10, is the same as 0.3" Tenths as a measuring system: the beacon's glass gauge marked in ten parts, filled to seven tenths Comparing tenths: 0.6...
-
Sharing the Catch
Learning topics: Division as fair sharing: 49 ÷ 4 = 12 with 1 left over Sharing in rounds (10 each, then 2 each) and checking by multiplication (4 × 12 + 1 = 49) Division as grouping: 12 full groups of 4 from 49, 1 left over Equal shares as a story condition (the door opens only for equal baskets)
-
Rows of Light
Episode 7 Learning topics: Multiplication as arrays: seven rows of eight Breaking multiplication apart: 5 × 8 = 40, 2 × 8 = 16, so 40 + 16 = 56 Checking an array from the other direction: eight rows of seven also make 56 Using multiplication inside an adventure problem without rote memorization

The Longest Corridor
Episode 5 This episode is built around math topic: measurement - length, the perimeter of a rectangle (14+6+14+6=40), and an introduction to area by counting rows.
-
The Door Only One Shape Could Open
Episode 4 This episode is built around math topic: geometry and spatial sense - symmetry and reflection, 3D shapes (prisms and pyramids), right angles, and grid location (three across, four down).
-
The Logbook That Counted the Ocean
Episode 3 This episode is built around math topic: data and probability - reading and comparing data (which night was brightest) and probability language (likely / unlikely / certain / impossible) for choosing a route.

The Lantern That Blinked in Code
Episode 2 This episode is built around math topic: patterns and algebra - repeating patterns, growing patterns, equality and the missing number, and step by step instructions.
-
The Submarine That Heard the Ocean Sing
Episode 1 This episode is built around math topic: decimal tenths, elapsed time, and equal sharing.
