0:00:04 > 0:00:07'Say hello to Ambrose the apprentice,

0:00:07 > 0:00:12'wrestling with maths in his new job at the Grecian Pizza Parlour.'

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Perimeter, outside. Area, inside.

0:00:15 > 0:00:20'Meet the Measure family, using maths in fun and familiar ways

0:00:20 > 0:00:22'to help with life at home.'

0:00:25 > 0:00:29'And hang out with the Ugly Sisters and Buttons in the Panto House.'

0:00:30 > 0:00:34'Only maths can make sense of the silly scrapes they get into.'

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Me machine's on the blink!

0:00:37 > 0:00:42'These videos are lesson starters for teachers of Key Stage 2 Maths.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49'They explore space, shape and measure.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56'And each ends with three questions,

0:00:56 > 0:00:58'increasing in levels of difficulty.'

0:01:16 > 0:01:20'Ambrose has just got a job at the world-famous Grecian Pizza Parlour.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24'He's being trained in all aspects of pizza making.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29'I don't think this is part of the training, though.'

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Ahem! What are you doing?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Er, nothing.

0:01:38 > 0:01:44'The boss says he's going to pop out, so Ambrose should carry on cleaning until he gets back.'

0:01:44 > 0:01:47PHONE RINGS Answer the phone, Ambrose.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50It could be customer. Answer the phone.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Hello, Grecian Pizza.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Can I have five Pepperoni Sun God pizzas?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58'It is a customer.'

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Five Pepperoni Sun God pizzas.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04When will you pick them up?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- 20 minutes.- 20 minutes.

0:02:07 > 0:02:0920 minutes.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- OK, thank you.- Bye.

0:02:11 > 0:02:16I have to go out, Ambrose. You will have to do this yourself. Here.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19'Ambrose hasn't been taught how to make a Pepperoni Sun God yet.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22'The recipe is in this book.'

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Inside, the recipe for the Pepperoni Sun God.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29'His boss explains the most important things about this pizza

0:02:29 > 0:02:34'are the cheese radius that go out from the middle like rays of the sun.'

0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK, I'll get some dough, I'll show you. You take the dough,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40you get a bit of flour, you put it down there like this.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49'His boss shows Ambrose how to make a perfect circle out of dough.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51'Good, isn't he?'

0:02:52 > 0:02:55You spread the secret recipe tomato ketchup.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59'He spreads the tomato sauce over the area.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03'Then he estimates where the middle of the circle is.'

0:03:03 > 0:03:06And then we put the column in the middle.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10So we now know where the middle is.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15And then you take the cheese, OK?

0:03:15 > 0:03:19And put this from the middle to the edge.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25You see? You take this, you put it from the middle to the edge.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27The radius.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30The radius is from the middle to the edge.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- What's the radius?- From the centre to the edge, I just told you this!

0:03:34 > 0:03:38From the centre to the edge is the radius.

0:03:38 > 0:03:43From the edge to the edge all the way across is the diameter.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47It's simples! Look, you do this, I've got to go out.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Five pizza! Remember! Good boy.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55'Will Ambrose remember what a radius is?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59'Can you remember what a radius is?'

0:04:54 > 0:04:57'Ambrose is an apprentice pizza maker

0:04:57 > 0:05:00'at the world-famous Grecian Pizza Parlour.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02'He's taking his new job very seriously.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07'He's even come in early today, before the pizza parlour is open.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12'It looks like he's making something. Can you tell us what you're doing?'

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yeah. I've been working on some new ideas at home

0:05:15 > 0:05:17and I've come in today to try one out.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20I've got an idea for a new pizza. Here, have a look.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- It's going to be fantastic. - 'Can you tell us what's in it?'

0:05:23 > 0:05:26No, no, no, it's a surprise. I want it to be a surprise.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31But it is going to be brilliant and I think the boss might even put it on the menu.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- So, yeah, I'll... Thanks. - 'Off he goes.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41'He begins with a classic tomato sauce base. Nicely spread there!'

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Pepperoni!

0:05:44 > 0:05:46'Now pointy pieces of pepperoni.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49'Look how neatly he's laying them down.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54'But he's only putting pepperoni on part of the pizza.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59'Look at that. He's made a right angle. This is clever.'

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Asparagus.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06'Asparagus! Now, this is very interesting.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11'And it looks as if he's going for another angle with those nice straight spears.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26'What else is he going to use? Cherry tomatoes.'

0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Mm.- 'And blueberries?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35'He's done exactly half the pizza so far

0:06:35 > 0:06:40'and he's made exactly the same angle as he did with the asparagus slice.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44'Baby sweetcorn now. What a doozy!

0:06:49 > 0:06:53'And that's an acute angle of 30 degrees.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59'And he's painting it with a coffee glaze. Ooh, a nice touch.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03'What's he going to put on next?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06'We've come to expect the unexpected from this young man.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11'Huh. I didn't expect that, though.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17'Hm. Or that.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21'He's either a madman or a genius! It's a fine line.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37'Into the oven it goes. Now he just has to wait.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42- 'I bet those angles are going to taste amazing!'- Phew!

0:07:48 > 0:07:51'Look at the pizza.'

0:08:53 > 0:08:57'Ambrose is an apprentice at the world-famous Grecian Pizza Parlour.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02'He's learning all aspects of the profession and is now able to roll out a perfect circle of dough.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08'This is how professional pizza makers make their pizza bases.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14'They throw them in the air like that.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20'And the dough gradually stretches out to become perfectly thin and round.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26'Not quite like that.'

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Ambrose, my boy, don't worry. It take me years to perfect

0:09:30 > 0:09:32the perfect pizza circle.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36'Luckily, Ambrose has got a nice boss.'

0:09:36 > 0:09:39PHONE RINGS

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Hello, Grecian Pizza.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46'The customer is a maths teacher who's having a birthday party.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50'He's ordering pizzas for his guests but he wants something quite unusual.'

0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'd like to order 50 pizzas, please!

0:09:53 > 0:09:58- 50 pizzas?- But I don't want round ones. Too boring.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00I want equilateral triangles.

0:10:00 > 0:10:05Equal-what-ily...twangles? What?

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Equilateral triangles!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10It's a triangle where all three sides are the same length

0:10:10 > 0:10:14and all the angles are the same size, too.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17So whichever way you look at it, it always looks the same!

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Oh, and I want triangular toppings as well, please. 50 of them.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Cheers, mate!- Bye.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36It's impossible! I spend my whole life making round pizza.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Triangular pizza? Not possible.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I think I can do it.- You're the man for me, Ambrose. You go ahead.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49'First Ambrose makes an equilateral triangle out of dough.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56'An equilateral triangle is one in which the three sides are equal

0:10:56 > 0:10:58'and all the angles are equal, too.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04'Then he cuts little equilateral triangles out of food.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10'He's getting the hang of this, isn't he?

0:11:10 > 0:11:13'Triangles are lots of fun to play around with.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25'Look at all the patterns he's making.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27'That looks like tessellation to me.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34'What does it look like cooked?

0:11:35 > 0:11:41- 'Nice!'- Oh, Ambrose, this is incredible! The triangular pizza!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Equilateral triangular pizza!

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Next time, I get you to make dodecahedron.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40'Today Ambrose the apprentice at the Grecian Pizza Parlour

0:12:40 > 0:12:44'has been given a new job - pizza delivery boy.

0:12:44 > 0:12:49'He has to deliver nice hot pizzas to four addresses. Oh, here's the boss.'

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Ambrose, I want you to fill in the timetable

0:12:52 > 0:12:54because I want you to do this very quickly.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57The journey time, you fill in all the times, yes?

0:12:57 > 0:12:59When you get to the place, write down...

0:12:59 > 0:13:02'Ambrose has to write down the arrival time at each address

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- 'and how long each bit of the journey takes him.'- Yes? Good boy.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10'The pizza parlour clock says it's quarter past four in the afternoon

0:13:10 > 0:13:14'but his boss gives Ambrose his mobile phone which has a 24-hour clock.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17'The time on the phone says 16:15,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20'which is the same as quarter past four.'

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Don't forget to fill in the timetable.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33'Ambrose goes as fast as he can to the first delivery address,

0:13:33 > 0:13:36'Dave's Motors on Calculator Crescent.'

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Who ordered the pizza?- That's me. - There you go.- Thank you.- Enjoy!

0:13:50 > 0:13:5316:21.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57So I left the pizza parlour at 16:15, it's 16:21.

0:13:57 > 0:14:0015, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04That's six minutes. Six.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13'It then takes him ten minutes to get to the flats on Rhombus Road.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17'He looks at the time...

0:14:22 > 0:14:26'..works out how long it took him and writes down the time on his timetable.'

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Hexagon Hill!

0:14:39 > 0:14:42'It takes 15 minutes to get to Hexagon Hill.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48There you go! Thank you.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53'Ambrose is really up against the clock now. No time to write anything down but the time.'

0:14:53 > 0:14:55- HE GASPS - Got to go!

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Pizzas are getting cold.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05'He still has to get to Perimeter Place. It's 11 minutes away.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07'Will he get there while the pizza is still hot?

0:15:07 > 0:15:11'Will he be able to fill out the missing bits on his timetable?'

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Using the 24-hour clock...

0:16:13 > 0:16:18'Ambrose is an apprentice at the world-famous Grecian Pizza Parlour.

0:16:18 > 0:16:23'Today he's decorating the upstairs restaurant for a sweet 16 party.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25'It looks good, doesn't it?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29'Ambrose's boss is bringing a heavy box up from the basement.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35'It's part of his plan for how to make teenagers have a smashing time.'

0:16:35 > 0:16:38This is my secret weapon.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41To make the party go with a swing-a-ding-ding,

0:16:41 > 0:16:45first of all, they eat the pizza.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Then we dance a little dance.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Dance the dance.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54GREEK MUSIC

0:16:54 > 0:16:56And then we smash the plate.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02'Cool! Ambrose thinks teenagers will love that.'

0:17:02 > 0:17:04I want everyone to have a smashing good time

0:17:04 > 0:17:08so put the plates three deep around the perimeter.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12'Ambrose's boss wants him to lay out the plates in piles of three

0:17:12 > 0:17:15'all around the perimeter of the room.'

0:17:16 > 0:17:22- What's the perimeter? - The perimeter is the outside of the shape, like the room.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24The area is the inside.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Perimeter, outside. Area, inside.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Perimeter, outside. Area, inside.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Perimeter, outside. Area, inside.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37- You got that?- I've got that. - Good boy! You're on your own.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Perimeter, outside. Area, inside.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47'Ambrose knows now. The perimeter is the line around the outside.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50'The area is all of the inside.'

0:17:52 > 0:17:54HE GROANS

0:17:55 > 0:17:57'Wow, those boxes are heavy.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01'He doesn't want to have to lug too many of them up the stairs.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03'What you thinking?'

0:18:03 > 0:18:05I'm thinking I might have to use some maths here.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08How do you work out a perimeter?

0:18:09 > 0:18:12'To find the perimeter of a rectangular room,

0:18:12 > 0:18:15'you need to measure the length and double it,

0:18:15 > 0:18:19'then measure the width and double that and add the answers together.'

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Hey, I might be able to work that out.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31And I'm going to use plates.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36'Ambrose is measuring the restaurant in plates.

0:18:36 > 0:18:41'He measures one side by counting how many plates long it is.'

0:18:41 > 0:18:4330.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46'The restaurant length is 30 plates long.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49'Now he does the same on another side.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56'And the restaurant is 20 plates wide.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01'Once Ambrose has worked out the perimeter

0:19:01 > 0:19:04'and how many plates he'll need to go round it three deep,

0:19:04 > 0:19:07'he can work out how many boxes to bring up.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09'But it's quite tricky maths.'

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I need help.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18'Meet Ambrose.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22'He's an apprentice at the Grecian Pizza Parlour.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27'The boss here is famous the world over for his pizza-making skills.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32'He invented the Pepperoni Sun God and the Calamari Colossus

0:20:32 > 0:20:35'and the Minotaur Munch!

0:20:36 > 0:20:40'Today he's going to show Ambrose something that every young apprentice must learn.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45'The secret of how to make lots of pizza bases from a two-kilo lump of dough.'

0:20:46 > 0:20:51Out of this two kilos, we make 20 smaller pizza, like this.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55It's beautiful, like my children. You do this.

0:20:55 > 0:20:5720... Write this down.

0:20:57 > 0:21:0120 small pizza from the two kilo.

0:21:02 > 0:21:07'Ambrose's job today is to make 20 small pizza bases that are all the same.'

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Come on, then, get on! Mush!

0:21:12 > 0:21:14'Let's see how he gets on.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23'Hm.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26'How are you feeling about this, Ambrose?'

0:21:26 > 0:21:30All right. It's going really well, thank you. I'm really pleased.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35- 'I think all your pizza bases are meant to be exactly the same.' - Yeah, 20. Yeah.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41- 'Do you think you'll get 20 out of that?'- Er, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45'Ambrose is meant to be making 20 small pizza bases.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49'He doesn't seem to be doing a very efficient job, does he?

0:21:52 > 0:21:57- 'Ambrose, don't you think you should use your weigh scales?'- What for?

0:21:57 > 0:22:02'If he doesn't get this right, all the pizzas will be different sizes, won't they?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04'What can you do?'

0:23:04 > 0:23:09'Meet the Measure family, Mum, Ethan, Abi and Dad.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13'Dad's on breakfast duty this morning and he's making pancakes.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16'His pancake recipe is for four people,

0:23:16 > 0:23:20'which gives all the Measures one nice big pancake each.'

0:23:21 > 0:23:26- Who's for the first one?- Me, me, me! - Oh, yes! Come on, quick, quick.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Me, me, me!- Fantastic.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Mind yourself.- Look at this. - Ta-da!- Oh, look at that!

0:23:34 > 0:23:37'Mm. I like pancakes, don't you?

0:23:37 > 0:23:42- 'The Measures like theirs with lots of maple syrup.'- Delicious.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- 'Dad can't make them quick enough.' - Come on!

0:23:45 > 0:23:49'He's showing off now. One for Abi.'

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Maple syrup, please!- 'One for Mum.' - Thank you, darling.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57'They don't last long, do they?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04DOORBELL RINGS I'll get it, I'll get it.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06'Oh, someone's at the door.'

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Look who it is!- Hi!- Hello! - 'It's Nikita and Eli.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15'They can smell something delicious.'

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- What are you eating? - Pancakes. Would you like some?

0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Yes, please.- Come on in, then.

0:24:20 > 0:24:25'Now they want pancakes, as well. Two each, please. And everyone else wants another one.'

0:24:25 > 0:24:30- BOTH: Oh, yeah!- Dad, stay in the kitchen. We need more pancakes.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Thanks, Dad!

0:24:34 > 0:24:37'But Dad's recipe only makes four.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41'Can you help him work out how to make enough pancakes for everyone?'

0:25:50 > 0:25:53'Ethan Measure is a martial arts whizz kid!

0:25:54 > 0:25:57'He's won so many medals, he can barely stand up!

0:26:00 > 0:26:02'But there is one medal he's yet to win.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06'The symmetry medal.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10'It's better than all the others because it's made of chocolate.

0:26:11 > 0:26:17'To win the symmetry medal, Ethan has to be able to find the line of symmetry on an object

0:26:17 > 0:26:19'and karate chop it down that line.'

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Hi-yah!

0:26:21 > 0:26:24'Like that! Well done, Ethan.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29'The line of symmetry is the imaginary line

0:26:29 > 0:26:31'where if you cut something in half

0:26:31 > 0:26:33'then hold either half up to a mirror,

0:26:33 > 0:26:36'the object will appear whole again.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42'Some lines of symmetry are easier to spot than others.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46'Let's see if he's found it on this pineapple.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50'Back luck, mate. Too spiky. Try again.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57'Has he got it right this time?

0:26:59 > 0:27:01'Yes, that looks like a pineapple.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09'Ethan's mum has prepared a selection of things for him to practise on.

0:27:12 > 0:27:17'Some of these have more than one line of symmetry and some have none at all.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21'Can you help him find the line every time

0:27:21 > 0:27:24'and win that golden chocolate medal?

0:27:36 > 0:27:40'Ethan has to find the lines of symmetry in a number of objects.'

0:28:29 > 0:28:34'It's a Sunday afternoon and the Measures are playing a family game.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36'It's called the origami challenge.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42'It's very simple. Everyone draws a shape to fold out of paper

0:28:42 > 0:28:44'and then they put all the suggestions in a hat.'

0:28:47 > 0:28:49OK, has everybody put theirs in the hat?

0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Here we go. Drum roll, please. - THEY TAP ON TABLE

0:28:55 > 0:28:59A regular pentagon? Who put that in there?

0:28:59 > 0:29:02Yes!

0:29:02 > 0:29:06'The task is to fold a regular pentagon. Quite a tricky shape.'

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Here we go. Dad, start the timer.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11- OK, losers.- 'And they're off.'

0:29:12 > 0:29:14'They've got two minutes.

0:29:16 > 0:29:21'The word "penta" comes from the Ancient Greek language and means five.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24'Pentagon means five angles.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30'A regular pentagon is a polygon with five equal sides

0:29:30 > 0:29:33'and five equal angles.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39'You can find the pentagon shape all over the natural world.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44'And in man-made objects, too.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49'How are they doing?'

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- And I am finished.- ALL: Ohh!

0:30:02 > 0:30:05- TIMER RINGS - 'Time's up.'- Well done, Abi.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08'Let's have a look at who's got it right.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11'Ethan's has only got four sides, so he's disqualified.

0:30:13 > 0:30:19- 'What about Mum?' - One, two, three, four, five, six! No, OK, that's no good.

0:30:19 > 0:30:24'Dad's got five sides, but it's an irregular pentagon.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29'Abi's is the best. Let's see how she did it.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36'Abi is using a sheet of A4 paper.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40'She folds the bottom corner up to the opposite corner and smoothes it.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51'She's done that to make a crease.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56'Now she unfolds that and folds one half in

0:30:56 > 0:31:00'and lines it up with the centre crease and smoothes it.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03'Now she does the same on the other side.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08'And there we are, a regular pentagon.'

0:32:01 > 0:32:03'Abi Measure loves to play the guitar,

0:32:03 > 0:32:06'but her old one won't keep in tune.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08'She's had it since she was little.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13'One day, she sees the guitar of her dreams.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16'A Clapton Uber-Pluck.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19'Pretty cool!

0:32:19 > 0:32:24'If only she had that guitar, she could play like a rock goddess!'

0:32:24 > 0:32:26ROCK MUSIC

0:32:27 > 0:32:32'The only problem is, a Clapton Uber-Pluck costs £300.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40'Time to raid the piggy bank.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43'But Abi has never been that good at saving.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46'That's not enough to buy a plectrum, let alone that guitar.'

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Mum!

0:32:48 > 0:32:52What's the matter, love? Ooh, look at that! Gorgeous, isn't it?

0:32:52 > 0:32:56- I bet you want one of those, don't you?- Mm-hm.- Fantastic.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59- What, you're asking me for it? - Please?

0:32:59 > 0:33:02- £300?- I'll pay you back.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05You'll pay me back? Hang on, I've got a good idea.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09You can do some chores around the house. There you go.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11And I'll go and have a nice cup of tea.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13There you go, love.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19'For the next few months, Abi is a very busy girl.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23'Once a week she vacuums the landing and stairs.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26'For that she gets paid £1.50.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34- 'For cleaning the bathroom once a week...'- Money, please!

0:33:34 > 0:33:38- '..she gets £2.' - One pound, two pounds.- Thank you.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43'She gets £1.50 a week for cleaning out the guinea pig,

0:33:43 > 0:33:46'the gerbils and the hamster.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51'Add to this her £4 a week pocket money...

0:33:52 > 0:33:55'..and £6 a week from a neighbour for babysitting.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01'Abi saves every penny she gets.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06'Her brother Ethan puts an armed guard around her room.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09'You can never be too sure when there are robbers about.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14'One day, Abi can wait no longer.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18'It's time to count the money and she thinks she's got enough.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20'Look at all that cash.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31'Can you help her figure out if she's got enough to buy that guitar?

0:34:43 > 0:34:47'Abi earned £1.50 for vacuuming the stairs,

0:34:47 > 0:34:49'£2 for cleaning the bathroom,

0:34:49 > 0:34:52'£1.50 for cleaning out the pets,

0:34:52 > 0:34:56'£4 pocket money and £6 for babysitting.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07'Abi saved 193 £1 coins,

0:35:07 > 0:35:09'nine £5 notes,

0:35:09 > 0:35:12'88 50 pence pieces,

0:35:12 > 0:35:15'and a jar of 20p coins.

0:35:27 > 0:35:32'Abi weighs the 20 pence coins and they come to 0.855 kilograms.

0:36:04 > 0:36:09'Mr Measure is meant to be clearing out all his old toys for the school jumble sale,

0:36:09 > 0:36:11'but he's having a trip down memory lane instead.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14'He used to love that book.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17'Oh, what's this?

0:36:25 > 0:36:27'Many years ago, Dad made a time capsule

0:36:27 > 0:36:30'and filled it full of treasures.

0:36:30 > 0:36:35'He put in all kinds of precious things, like money, and said goodbye to his favourite toys.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41'And then he buried it in the woods.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45'He made a map so that one day, when he was older, he could find it again.

0:36:45 > 0:36:50'But for 30 years, that map has been lost.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55'Now he's found it. The directions he needs to find his lost treasures.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00'Before you can say time capsule, he's off to the woods.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07'Mr Measure's brought along everything he needs.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09'A spade, a tape measure, a metal detector

0:37:09 > 0:37:13'and his son Ethan with his trusty compass.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18'The map says to start at the old climbing tree

0:37:18 > 0:37:21'and walk north for ten metres.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26'It's Ethan's job to find north on the compass.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29'That's it.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33'So Dad walks north for ten metres.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39'Stop!'

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Ten metres. OK.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46'He's winding him in like a fish.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50'Next go east for 12 metres.

0:37:52 > 0:37:56'Ethan knows that the needle on a compass always points to the north.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59'He's lined up the needle with N.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02'And from there, they work out where east is.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06'Can you see it?'

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Never...eat...

0:38:08 > 0:38:12..Shredded...Wheat. East!

0:38:12 > 0:38:15'Never Eat Shredded Wheat, NESW,

0:38:15 > 0:38:20'is a good way of remembering the four points of the compass in the right order.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22'And, of course, you can eat Shredded Wheat.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27'Next they have to walk to the southeast for nine metres.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31'This is halfway between south and east.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36'Then north for 23 metres.

0:38:41 > 0:38:42'Stop!

0:38:42 > 0:38:46'The final instruction is go west for four metres.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50'That's it, they've found the tree.'

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Riches, here we come!

0:39:51 > 0:39:54'It's wash day at Panto House.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58'Looks like Buttons has been doing the Ugly Sisters' washing for them.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02'Large, soggy undies. Ooh, poor Buttons.

0:40:02 > 0:40:07'Angular and Graphica are too busy watching MasterCook to help.

0:40:09 > 0:40:14'Time for Buttons to peg out the washing to dry.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22'Going well so far.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29'Oops!

0:40:29 > 0:40:34'Looks like that line might break. What are you going to do now?

0:40:36 > 0:40:39'Maximum weight 2,000 grams.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43'That means there's a limit to how much you can hang up.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45'And some scales.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48'The scales are there to weigh the washing, Buttons.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51'So you'll have to weigh some bloomers.

0:40:53 > 0:40:57'Let's see how heavy the Ugly Sisters' undies are.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02'Each bloomer weighs 250 grams.

0:41:03 > 0:41:09'How many bloomers have you got? One, two, three, four...

0:41:10 > 0:41:12'..five, six, seven,

0:41:12 > 0:41:15'eight, nine, ten.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17'Ten bloomers.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20'Oh, and what's that at the bottom?

0:41:21 > 0:41:27'Oh! It's the Ugly Sisters' extra-thick tights to stop the leg hairs from peeping out.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29'You'll have to weigh those, too.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36'Those tights are heavy. They weigh 315 grams.

0:41:39 > 0:41:44'The line only takes 2,000 grams. I don't think you can hang everything up.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49'Oh, dear. Looks like Buttons is a bit stuck.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52'Let's see if we can help him put the washing out.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55'It's morning at the Panto House

0:42:55 > 0:43:00'and Angular, the Ugly Sister, is waiting for the post.

0:43:00 > 0:43:04'She's been waiting like this for a week. I wonder why.

0:43:09 > 0:43:13'Oh, what's this? A royal scroll?'

0:43:13 > 0:43:16Oh, by heck!

0:43:16 > 0:43:19'So this is what all the fuss is about.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22'Prince Charming and Cinderella have invited the Ugly Sisters

0:43:22 > 0:43:27'to their Christmas Eve ball. It's on the 24th December.

0:43:28 > 0:43:32Wait till he gets a load of this!

0:43:32 > 0:43:35'December is ages away! It's only June now.

0:43:36 > 0:43:40'Graphica has bought a packet of magic seeds for this very occasion.

0:43:40 > 0:43:44'It's a grow your own pumpkin carriage.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47'From seed to carriage in just six months.

0:43:49 > 0:43:54'That's a very big seed. She's planting it straight away.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02'Ooh, that's fast.'

0:44:02 > 0:44:05- I've never seen one like that before.- Nor grown quick as that.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07'Today's date is the 6th June.

0:44:07 > 0:44:12'And it's got to be ready by the 24th December.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15'I wonder if she's given it enough time.

0:44:16 > 0:44:20'What's this? Angular has got some magic seeds, too.

0:44:20 > 0:44:23'A grow your own Prince Charming?

0:44:23 > 0:44:27'From seed to Prince Charming in just 14 weeks.

0:44:31 > 0:44:37'It's the 6th June now and the ball is on the 24th December.

0:44:38 > 0:44:41'Angular can't work out when to plant it, er, him.

0:44:42 > 0:44:45'Can you help her work it out?'

0:44:45 > 0:44:49Oh, help! Help! Buttons! I don't know.

0:46:02 > 0:46:06'Puss in Boots has arrived unannounced at Panto House.

0:46:06 > 0:46:09'The Ugly Sisters are not impressed.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12'Puss has been lounging on the sofa eating sugar mice.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15'And to make things worse, his boots stink.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17'Really stink.'

0:46:17 > 0:46:21Oh, you bad, bad, bad pussycat!

0:46:21 > 0:46:23You should be ashamed of yourself!

0:46:24 > 0:46:29'Oh, nothing's working. They need a cunning plan.'

0:46:32 > 0:46:35We'll get that moggy's boots.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38'The sisters mean business.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57'Those boots stink worse than the acting.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03'There are six unusual washing options.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10'It's on the maximum setting. The red one.

0:47:12 > 0:47:14- 'That should do the job.' - That should do the job.

0:47:22 > 0:47:25Oh! What's that? Oh!

0:47:25 > 0:47:29Graphica! Me machine's on the blink!

0:47:32 > 0:47:36'That super-stinky wash has sent the machine into overdrive.'

0:47:47 > 0:47:50Oh, spring meadow!

0:47:50 > 0:47:52'Well, the boots may be clean...

0:47:54 > 0:47:56'..but the dial is stuck.'

0:48:04 > 0:48:06'Look at the dial.'

0:49:05 > 0:49:08'The Ugly Sisters, Graphica and Angular,

0:49:08 > 0:49:10'are very busy catching up on a bit of culture.

0:49:10 > 0:49:15'Too busy to help Buttons who's been tidying up Panto House all morning.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18'Now he's looking forward to a nice cup of tea

0:49:18 > 0:49:20'and a fondant fancy or two.

0:49:21 > 0:49:25'But the Ugly Sisters have left him a to-do list.

0:49:25 > 0:49:28'Oh! Oh, dear.

0:49:28 > 0:49:31'Oh, dear!

0:49:32 > 0:49:36'What a pile of dirty mugs and plates.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38'They've filled up the sink!

0:49:39 > 0:49:42'Oh, it's going to take him ages.'

0:49:42 > 0:49:45- KNOCK AT DOOR - 'Someone's at the door.'

0:49:49 > 0:49:50Jack and Jill!

0:49:50 > 0:49:55- 'Oh, it's Jack and Jill from up the hill!'- How are you?- Oh, very well.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58'Jill loves Buttons.

0:50:00 > 0:50:04'She thinks he looks like Superman, but shorter.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07'Jack thinks this is really uncool.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11- 'Sisters are so embarrassing.' - So embarrassing!

0:50:11 > 0:50:16- And what can I do for you? - 'Jack and Jill can't be bothered to go up the hill,

0:50:16 > 0:50:20- 'so they want Buttons to fill a pail with water.'- I suppose so.

0:50:26 > 0:50:29'But Buttons has a problem.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32- 'The sink's too full.'- It won't fit.

0:50:32 > 0:50:36- 'Jill's got an idea.'- Use the jug, Buttons.- Don't use the jug.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40'But Jack disagrees.'

0:50:40 > 0:50:43- Use the bottle!- Ignore him. - Oh, the bottle.

0:50:44 > 0:50:48'Buttons has another idea.'

0:50:52 > 0:50:54- Use the bottle.- Ignore him, use the jug.- Bottle!

0:50:54 > 0:50:58'Buttons just wants to fill the pail so he can have his tea and cake.

0:50:58 > 0:51:02'Can you help Buttons fill the bucket up with water?'

0:51:02 > 0:51:05What's with him?

0:51:12 > 0:51:15'The pail holds 7.5 litres.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19'The mug holds 500 millilitres.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29'There's a one litre jug,

0:51:29 > 0:51:34'a two litre bottle, and a 500 millilitre mug.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01'Here's a clue.'

0:52:22 > 0:52:25HE HUMS "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"

0:52:25 > 0:52:29'How exciting! Looks like it's somebody's birthday today.

0:52:29 > 0:52:33'Graphica, the Ugly Sister, has made a great big cupcake.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40'Oooh! That's a lot of candles.

0:52:44 > 0:52:48'Oh! It's Erica the Puppet's birthday today.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51'The birthday cake must be for her.

0:52:53 > 0:52:57'Surely she can't be 40 years old, she's just a kid.'

0:52:57 > 0:53:01- You're not 40 years old, are you? No.- '40 months old?

0:53:03 > 0:53:05'So Erica has a birthday cake every month?

0:53:07 > 0:53:11'That's just an excuse for Graphica to eat a lot of cake.

0:53:13 > 0:53:17'Here's the other Ugly Sister, Angular,

0:53:17 > 0:53:20'with what looks like another birthday cake.

0:53:22 > 0:53:24'Has Erica got two birthday cakes?

0:53:27 > 0:53:31'Obviously not. What's Angular up to?

0:53:33 > 0:53:37'Ah. She's made a cake for an aubergine?'

0:53:37 > 0:53:39Guess whose birthday it is today!

0:53:39 > 0:53:42'And another 40th?'

0:53:45 > 0:53:47- Happy birthday!- 'Weeks!

0:53:47 > 0:53:50'So you must be 40 weeks old.

0:53:51 > 0:53:55'So Mrs Aubergine must have a birthday cake every week!

0:53:55 > 0:53:58'That's an awful lot of cake Angular's got to eat.

0:53:58 > 0:54:02'And she's going to need an awful lot of candles, too.

0:54:06 > 0:54:11'Hm. Where's that huge pile of candles gone?

0:54:11 > 0:54:15'Oh, looks like Graphica has used them all up.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20'Uh-oh!

0:54:23 > 0:54:26'What a lot of mess!

0:54:26 > 0:54:31'What a lot of birthdays. Let's see if we can sort this lot out.

0:55:23 > 0:55:27'The Ugly Sisters are giving their mouths

0:55:27 > 0:55:29'a lot of exercise this morning in Panto House.

0:55:29 > 0:55:34'They're munching on piles of cakes. But it's making them fat and spotty.

0:55:36 > 0:55:39'They love eating cake whilst watching the telly,

0:55:39 > 0:55:42'but Buttons keeps getting in their way.'

0:55:42 > 0:55:45Buttons, what you doing, you silly monkey? Go on!

0:55:45 > 0:55:48'Buttons doesn't think this exercise routine is working.

0:55:48 > 0:55:53'He's the only one getting exercise, cleaning up all their mess.

0:55:55 > 0:56:00'Buttons is tidying up all the toys they've stolen from young children at last year's panto show.

0:56:03 > 0:56:06'Oh, a TV remote. I wonder if it works.

0:56:09 > 0:56:10'Hm.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15'I don't think it's working the telly.

0:56:15 > 0:56:18'Now Buttons has a way of getting his own way back!

0:56:20 > 0:56:23'Time to get some exercise.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26'Off they go!

0:56:28 > 0:56:31'Buttons makes them turn right out of the door

0:56:31 > 0:56:33'and travel along the road.

0:56:33 > 0:56:37'He wants them to go a bit faster.

0:56:37 > 0:56:40'Ah, fast-forward should do it.

0:56:43 > 0:56:46'He makes them walk for 30 metres.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50'Then Buttons presses right.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57'He makes them go along for 45 metres.

0:56:58 > 0:57:00'Then he presses right again.

0:57:03 > 0:57:07'They go down this road for 80 metres.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11'Then he makes them go right again.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16'They're definitely getting exercise now.

0:57:19 > 0:57:22'Oh, no. Buttons has lost them.

0:57:23 > 0:57:26'They've gone down this road for 20 metres.

0:57:26 > 0:57:31'He needs three more instructions to get them home. Can you help him?

0:57:37 > 0:57:40'Look at the map. This is the route

0:57:40 > 0:57:43'the Ugly Sisters have walked.'
