Math in everyday life is often over looked in little minds. When allowance is brought up, the children listen. When they learn they can perform magic with homemade Mobious strips, their eyes light up. By seeing math in a fun light, math becomes less intimidating and children look forward to learning. This show features two of Hagerman’s most cherished routines: Fuzzy the Bear and The Troublewit.
