5-4-3-2-1! You've Got Mighty Math Powers!

Along the lines of Blue's Clues, Team Umizoomi is a combination animation/live action show. It is just in its first season, but I tell you, it's a hit around here.





Mark loves to be an "Umifriend" and help Milli, Geo and Bot solve problems. Helping Geo and naming shapes is one of Mark's most favorite parts of the show. As the team goes about their adventures they count, compare, measure and discover shapes and patterns. It's done easily as math is already in our daily lives. By involving the toddler/child watching (as an Umifriend problem solving skills and early math concepts are taught. Mark is learning math and doesn't even realize it. It is neat to see how he counts along, identifies the shapes, problem solves and interacts with the team.

Funny side note, if you recognize Bot's voice it's because he is played by Donovan Patton (Joe from Blue's Clues.)

And of course there is music. Mark loves the singing and dancing too. There are only about 20 episodes (and I don't even think all have aired yet) as it's only in its first season, but it's well worth adding to your DVR.
