Math Monsters, developed in cooperation with the National Council of Teachers of Math (NCTM), is designed to meet and support national standards for K-2 math instruction. The programs can be used as a whole unit or used individually to support your classroom plans. While individual programs focus on what is called "A Big Idea" (data collection, patterns, measurement, etc.), at least four of these standards are interwoven into every show: problem-solving, mathematical connections, mathematical communication and reasoning.
The series comes with a teachers guide that includes pre- and post-viewing activities. "Pause Points" in each program allow teachers to stop the program and involve students in discussion about problem-solving strategies. An Internet component is also available.
