| Math Monsters #1: Data Collection |
| The Monsters are enjoying a breakfast of pancakes and decide to open a pancake restaurant. They all make suggestions about what kind of pancakes to serve, but realize there are too many possibilities. They decide to conduct a survey to collect the data they need to make an informed menu selection. The Monsters go out into the neighborhood and ask what pancakes the local Monsters like best. They all take down the information but each one represents the data differently – one draws a picture for each pancake somebody names, one writes down the names of each pancake selected and one uses tally marks. Next, the Monsters must figure out how to combine their various representations of data to determine which pancakes are the favorites of the most monsters. Our field trip takes us to the zoo where we see how data is collected from the various animal houses and used to order the weekly food supply for the animals. |

| Math Monsters #2: Measurements |
| The Monsters decide to build an addition on to their castle, but must let the carpenters know how big they wish the new room to be. The program explores some of the ways children can gain accuracy in measurement taking and in communicating their results. The Monsters progress from describing a room that is “sort of long” to pacing it out and figuring out the number of steps. The contractor, Annie Ant, has her own idea of the size of a step which leads to the development of a standard “Monster Step” for actual and repeatable measurement. Our field trip is to visit a carpenter who explains how human beings use standard measurements in construction. |

| Math Monsters #3: Number Conservation |
| The Monsters decide to plant two gardens, each with the identical number of monster melon plants. When Aunt Tulips arrives to deliver the seeds, the Monsters are out collecting gardening tools. She leaves two piles, each containing the same number of seeds. However, one pile is stacked high, while the other is spread out. The Monsters argue about which pile has more seeds and then they proceed to develop strategies to discover the truth. This provides an opportunity to explore number conservation and one to one correspondence. In deciding to water their garden, the Monsters come across two water hoses – one wrapped loosely and the other tightly coiled. Again, they figure out that just because something looks different, it doesn’t mean it is different. Our field trip is to a bakery, where we find out how a batch of dough that creates six rolls can actually be the same size as a batch that creates only one loaf of bread. |

| Math Monsters #4: The Making of Tens |
| The Monsters decide to send boxes of fruit (gollywomples) to their relatives for presents. Gollywomples come in green and blue. The Monsters want to send out boxes of ten to each relative, but decide that no two boxes should contain the same combination of fruit. They spend time figuring out all the different combinations of ten that they can make. They begin to notice patterns forming in the different combinations, i.e. as one number goes up, the other goes down. Once the packages are made they need to be labeled and so addition and subtraction are used to help determine how many fruits of each kind are in each box. Our field trip is to a bank, where the making of tens is shown in a variety of ways. |

| Math Monsters #5: Geometry |
| The Monsters decide to create a model of their town and call it Mini-Monster Land. But in order to make an accurate model they need to take a good look at the different shapes and sizes of neighborhood buildings. At first they go to the roof of their castle to get an overview and wonder why buildings so far away are so tiny. “My thumb is bigger than Aunt Two Lips Flower Shop,” says Multiplex. The Monsters explore concepts of perspective and then visit the town to see buildings up close. They encounter a triangular prism, cube, cylinder, and octagonal prism and discover information about the characteristics of these shapes. Our field trip is to an architect who shows us his process for drawing, computerizing and modeling his new constructions. |

| Math Monsters #6: Doubles and Theirs Neighbors |
| The Monsters are going to perform in a circus. This provides a context for exploring doubles and their neighbors. One Monsters practices juggling and doubling the balls. Another Monster lifts a barbell with equal, and sometimes unequal, weights placed on both sides. Yet another Monster does magic, doubling birds and currency in her “doubling hat” Our field trip is to a shop keeper who explains how she uses mental math to help in her calculations. |
