I spent my childhood trying to find Narnia in wardrobes so I could be friends with Mr Tumnus

I never found it but I will never stop looking

i was legitimately upset with the new lion,witch, & wardrobe when the beavers were not full size people running around in beaver costumes

They should have been Lix

[TheCorpulent1]

I need to watch those again. I saw them in school and loved them.

26. I'm not saying the BBC versions were brand-new when I saw them or anything, but I did watch them in elementary school. A teacher showed them to us for some reason or other. We also watched Schoolhouse Rock and this narrated visual storybook version of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" that scared the s*** out of me.

special in the made for sci-fi movie kind of way.

so, awesome. yeah.

we watched all those, and then i would go home and watch wishbone and bill nye the science guy. that's probably why i loved every subject in school except math, there were no good math shows when i was a kid...or ever.

 

[Mystirious]

I loved Wishbone with so much love

Puppies!

Awwww poor Corp

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Mystery solved: I believe I watched the even older adaptation from 1979, actually.

Best movies I saw in school were the George Pal versions of Wells' The Time Machine and War of the Worlds in 5th grade.

Donald in Mathmagic Land and the math vs. language part of The Phantom Tollbooth made math seem cool to me. A little.

Math is a tough sell, I do remember a segment in one of those shows (SquareOne) called 'Mathnet'

it was kinda funny

 

[lixdexia]

the problem with math shows is that there are really only like 5-6 concepts you can explore with a young audience. with history, reading, and science you can always kinda simplify things so kids can grasp them, but you can't really make algebra easy for a 6 yr old to grasp

use Fruit Ninja to teach math

That made me laugh my ****ing ass off. I just started laughing when i read that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, and math is inherently dry because it involves a lot of memorization. There's no real way to "learn" the quadratic equation or formulas for area or whatever besides rote memorization. At least with physics, you can ignore the equations and just show the concepts and effects.

 

[Mystirious]

Lex Luthor can make math fun

If you have forty cakes and one Lex Luthor

How many cakes will you have if you take your eyes off them

use Fruit Ninja to teach math

 

[Hound55]

That depends on how terrible Lex is on the day...
