# The Numberjacks are on their way! #

Come on, we've got to be good at this to show Seven, Eight and Nine.

-Yeah. They'll be here soon.

-Remember you've got to get into this circle.

But everybody's got to do it in a different way.

I'm going to do a slide.

-Oh, yes!

-I'm going to do some jumps.

Wahey!

Hey!

I like it.

I can't do that.

You're not supposed to! You've got to do it a different way.

But you've done sliding and Six has done jumping.

There's no other ways left for mee-ee-ee-ee!

Ow.

There you are, Four, you did find a different way

-of getting in the circle.

-Yes. Very different.

BLEEPING AND WHIRRING

Come on!

We've got a call!

Agent 27 here. Things are going wrong!

-But not for long!

-There's a girl putting on her coat,

in a very strange way.

Hold on! I'm putting it on screen.

What is she doing?

I don't think she wanted to put her coat on in that strange way.

I think she needs help.

-Well, Four is good at doing things in unusual ways.

-Am I?

-So Four is going out to help find that girl.

-Thank you!

# We got a problem What shall we do?

# Who's going out there? Who do we choose?

# We've got a problem to explore

-# Who's going out there?

-Number Four! #

ALARMS

-Good luck, Four.

-Checking everything's clear.

-All clear.

-Stand by, Four.

ALL: Four! Three! Two! One! Zero!

Scanning for a four to land on.

And here's a four.

-Oof!

-'Be careful, Four!'

I've got a feeling there's going to be strange goings-on today.

I'll be careful, don't worry.

Here we go!

Agent 63 here.

There's a man going down the street in a very strange way.

-We'll take a look.

-On screen!

That's very odd.

-More problems!

-Agent 18 here. It's the gardener.

Well, that's a different way to dig.

Even stranger!

Very different.

-I think that's it!

-What?

The people are doing things in very different ways.

And not very sensible ways!

-This is very weird.

-Lucky we've got Seven, Eight and Nine coming!

They can help us sort this out.

But who is making this happen?

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

-We all know that laugh!

-The Puzzler!

# Let me tell you what I'm talking about...

# The Puzzler, the Puzzler He's got a twisted mind

# His bubbles mean trouble If you get trapped inside

# You'd better start thinking If the Puzzler has got you

# Cos if you can't sort the puzzle out

# The puzzle will sort you. #

-Puzzler!

-Yes, it's me, and oh, what fun.

You'll never guess what I've just done!

-(Help! Help!)

-I've trapped Eight inside my bubble!

-Oh, no!

-And there he stays

while I make trouble. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Oh, no! We haven't got Eight to help us!

-But at least we're here to help.

-Yes!

We're going to need all the help we can get.

The Puzzler's making people do things in different silly ways.

What else might he do?

A man could be painting a room...

then the Puzzler makes him do it different, silly ways.

Maybe with his feet!

Or maybe another silly way is just throwing the paint.

Or he might get the dancing cow in,

and get the cow to dance the paint on the walls!

All different ways to paint a room. But not very good ways!

-The Puzzler's got to stop what he's doing.

-We're all here to help, Five.

-We've got to stop the Puzzler.

-Stop Puzzler!

-Yes!

-I might stop...

-(Help!)

..and let your friend go free, if you listen carefully.

-We're listening.

-Here's the challenge for you today.

Can you make eight three different ways?

We've got to make eight three different ways.

One way of making eight is by adding two numbers together.

OK, start with my number!

What other number do we need to add to make eight?

-One!

-Yes! Come on, Buddy Blocks.

One. Two. Three. Four.

Five. Six. Seven!

And one more...makes eight!

Get ready to start the Brain Gain machine.

# Brain Gain, Brain Gain To sort a problem use our brains

# The way to get your brains all linking up together

-# Joined-up thinking. #

-Getting Brain Power now!

Brain Gain!

Seven and one add up to eight.

Sending Brain Gain.

We found one way of making eight. Seven and one make eight.

Seven and one make eight, as you say.

Now can you do it a different way?

-Me! Me!

-Two wants to join in.

Oh, hey!

-Two could add his blocks to mine to make eight.

-Yes, yes!

No! We've already made eight by adding.

-This time it's got to be a different way.

-Ohh.

If you don't find a different way,

Old Puzzley here's got games to play.

Hrrrrrr.

That's a very different way of drinking.

And I've got a different way of making eight!

Instead of adding a Buddy Block, let's take away instead!

Come on, Buddy Blocks.

Nine Buddy Blocks,

and take one away...

That leaves one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight!

Yes! We made eight by taking one away from nine!

-Another way of making eight!

-(Keep going, Four!)

You've found two ways, but you need three.

Till then, let's do things weirdly!

Bdrrrr...

Aaah! CRASH!

We've added, we've taken away - how else can we make eight?

-We can help!

-You only make two. We need lots more than that.

-Ohh.

That's it! You can make eight with lots of twos.

One lot of two is two, and another lot of two makes four.

-And another lot of two makes six.

-Nearly getting there!

So how many lots of two do we need?

-Two, your lot of Buddy Blocks go first.

-Oh, yes!

One lot of two.

Another lot of two makes four.

Three lots of two make six.

-And a fourth lot of two makes eight!

-In you go!

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Yes! Sending Brain Gain.

Four lots of two make eight.

-Thanks, Four.

-Everybody helped.

Well, my friends, you've done just great.

Three different ways of making eight!

First it was add, then take away.

Four lots of two was another way.

You win. See you all another day.

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

-Bye, Puzzler.

-Let's sort everything out.

Yes!

Yes!

Come back now, Four and Eight.

ALL: One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight!

-Well done, Four.

-Good to see you, Eight!

That bubble was horrible.

We can see it all on screen.

The girl was getting dressed in a different way.

It's a different way of moving.

That way it takes a very long time to dig a hole.

It was all the Puzzler's fault, and he had Eight in a bubble!

We had to find three ways of making the number eight.

You can add seven and one more makes eight!

Or you can take away. Nine take away one is eight.

Or you can make eight with four lots of twos.

And Eight was free!

-Bye-bye, Puzzler.

-Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

OK, Eight. I got into the circle by sliding.

I did it by jumping.

Wahey!

And I did it by slipping and crashing.

Waah!

Can you think of a different way to get into the circle?

Hmm. How about...

-Rolling?

-Brilliant! All different ways.

I wonder, can you think of different ways of making my number?

You can make it any way you like. Adding, take away, lots of -

any way! And then, call the Numberjacks!
