In each program the content develops from the use of concrete representation of numbers to exploring problems where there is less reliance on such representation. There is also a strong emphasis on mathematical language and on encouraging estimation and self-correction. Today: The puppets are camping. They collect and count sticks, compare mosquito bites and keep track of the number of monsters in a camp side story.
