Math rules in Cyberchase, a new animated adventure series that ernergizes kids (ages 8-11) with math power.

Full of cyber-mysteries with eye-popping animation and a sly comic flair, the series features the voices of Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried.

Cyberchase sends the message that math is fun math is about problem solving and, boy, does it come in handy. When the dastardly villain Hacker (Lloyd) launches a mad mission to conquer the virtual universe, Motherboard calls upon three Earth kids for help. They are Jackie, Matt and Inez the culturally diverse heroes of Cyberchase who, along with the wise-cracking cyber-bird Digit (Gottfried), travel from their real-world realm to the colorful virtual vistas of cyberspace where they vanquish the bad guys in an all-out battle of wits.

Each episode takes the kids on a thrilling adventure driven by a different math concept from tackling time in ancient Egyptian tombs, to cracking codes in creepy caves, or making sense of numbers in a fractured fairy tale world.
