''Math Patrol'' was a children's Educational Television show produced by TVOntario in 1977 and aired by the Public Broadcaster in the late 1970s and the early 1980s . The series starred John Kozak as "Sydney" - a " Math Detective " who repeatedly went Undercover as a Kangaroo ("the only disguise ''Math Patrol'' had that would fit him"). Other cast members included Carl Banas , Jessica Booker , Luba Goy and Nikki Tilroe . The program was designed to teach basic math skills and Terminology in an entertaining fashion to children between approximately 8 and 10 years of age. In each 15-minute episode, ''Math Patrol'''s unseen ( Silhouetted ) boss "Mr. Big" would send the detective on a case or charge him with a task which could only be solved through mathematic deduction. Over the course of 20 episodes, ''Math Patrol'' provided introductory math lessons on topics including Addition , Subtraction , Multiplication , Division , Area , Fractions , Length , Shape s, Geometry and Symmetry . Because of its highly educational nature, ''Math Patrol'' was often shown to groups of Primary School students during Class time. EXTERNAL LINKS |
