Transcript: Canadian Money - Our Canadian Coins
(music plays)
A Female Announcer says WELCOME TO TVO KIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S PRIMARY LESSON: CANADIAN
MONEY: OUR COINS AND
CANADIAN SYMBOLS.
A caption reads "Primary I-3. Teacher Andrea." Andrea is in her late twenties, with long black hair. She wears a black jacket over a blue shirt and headphones.
Standing next to a whiteboard with a list, Andrea says HI, EVERYONE.
WELCOME.
MY NAME IS TEACHER ANDREA
AND I'M SO HAPPY
YOU COULD BE HERE TODAY,
BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE
INVESTIGATING CANADIAN COINS.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I WANTED
TO GO OVER THE LEARNING GOALS
AND THE SUCCESS
CRITERIA WITH YOU.
She turns and points to the whiteboard.
She says SO, TODAY,
WE ARE LEARNING TO ANALYZE
THE PURPOSE OF CANADIAN MONEY.
WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE
THE VALUE OF CANADIAN MONEY.
WE'RE GONNA COMBINE
A VARIETY OF COINS TO PRODUCE
A SET AMOUNT OF MONEY
UP TO 200 CENTS, OR, 2.00 DOLLARS.
AND YOU'LL KNOW
YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO IDENTIFY THE VALUE
OF ALL CANADIAN COINS,
AND COUNT THE TOTAL VALUE OF
VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF COINS
UP TO 200 CENTS.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO ASK YOURSELF,
"WHY DO WE NEED MONEY?"
THINK ABOUT THIS
FOR A FEW MINUTES
AND PERHAPS YOU WANNA
JOT DOWN YOUR ANSWERS
ON A PIECE OF PAPER, OR SHARE
YOUR ANSWERS WITH A PARTNER.
AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS,
"WHAT DO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY
BUY WITH MONEY?"
AGAIN, YOU MIGHT WANNA SHARE
YOUR ANSWERS WITH A PARTNER,
OR PERHAPS JOT THEM DOWN
ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
NOW, LET'S BEGIN
WITH THE CANADA CREW.
MO, BEBE, AND GAVIN
ARE VISITING THE CANADIAN
CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE,
AS WELL AS TAKING A LOOK AT
WHAT MOE HAS IN HIS PIGGY BANK.
OVER TO YOU, CANADA CREW.
A puppet show rolls.
In the dam, Mo the Moose is about to smash the piggy bank open.
Bebe the Beaver says MO, MO, MO!
WHAT ARE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING!?!
Mo says BEBE...
I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO SMASH OPEN MY
PIGGY BANK!
Bebe says BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT
WHYYYYY???
Mo says BECAUSE I WANT
TO SEE HOW MUCH
I'VE SAVED.
Bebe says OH.
COOL.
Mo says HM.
OKAY NOW STAND BACK
'CAUSE HERE I...
The hammer head gets loose and flies away.
Mo says GO?
TIME FOR PLAN B!
Mo lifts up a big rock with a rope.
(GRUNTING)
Bebe says JUST
A LITTLE
HIGHER...
A LITTLE BIT
HIGHER...
OKAY I THINK THAT
SHOULD DO IT.
LET 'ER RIP MO!
Mo says AHHHHH!
Mo lets go of the rope but the rock won't break the piggy bank.
Bebe says WHOA!
THAT'S ONE STRONG
PIGGY BANK!
Mo says YEAH.
Bebe says HOW WILL WE EVER
GET IT OPEN?
(GRUNTS) HUH!
Mo takes the stopper off and says WHADDAYA KNOW!
HUH!
THERE'S A HOLE IN IT!
Bebe and Mo say HAHAHAHA!
The name of the show appears in red along with a maple leave and the three members of the Canada Crew against a post card with an image of mountains by a lake.
The name of the show reads "The Canada Crew."
The name of the episode reads "Canadian Money."
The song goes NOVA SCOTIA,
P.E.I., NEW BRUNSWICK,
NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR, QUEBEC,
ONTARIO, MANITOBA
AND THERE ARE MORE.
B.C, ALBERTA, SASKATCHEWAN,
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES,
NUNAVUT, YUKON.
BEBE, MO AND GAVIN
WE'RE THE CANADA CREW
LET'S GO EXPLORE
CANADA TOO!
CANADA CREW!
Mo says OKAY!
TIME TO COUNT THE MONEY!
Bebe sings TIME TO COUNT,
COUNT, COUNT THE
MONEY!
COUNT, COUNT,
COUNT THE MONEY!
Mo says YOU DONE?
Bebe says NOT YET.
WHAT'S THAT YOU
SAY THERE HONEY?
TIME TO COUNT,
COUNT, COUNT THE
MONEY!!!
OKAY, I'M GOOD.
Mo says OKAY, THANK YOU.
SO, I'VE SORTED
EACH TYPE OF
COIN INTO PILES
TO MAKE COUNTING
THEM EASIER!
Bebe says UH-HUM.
Mo says SO HERE WE HAVE THE
NICKELS WHICH ARE
WORTH 5 CENTS.
Bebe says OH, NICKELS ARE
MY ALL TIME
FAVOURITES!!!
BETCHYA' CAN'T
GUESS WHY MO!
BETCHYA' CAN'T?
Mo says HMMM, THAT'S
A TOUGHIE.
UH, COULD
IT BE... .. BECAUSE THEY
HAVE BEAVERS ON THEM?
Bebe says WHOA, YOU'RE GOOD.
Mo says YEAH!
HUH!
HAHA!
MO:OVER HERE, WE HAVE THE DIMES
WHICH ARE WORTH 10 CENTS EACH!
WE KNOW
THEY'RE DIMES
BECAUSE THEY
HAVE THE BIG,
SAILBOAT ON THEM
CALLED THE 'BLUENOSE.'
A caption reads "Fun fact."
Mo says THE BLUENOSE
WAS BUILT ALMOST 100 YEARS
AGO AND WAS ONE OF CANADA'S
FASTEST RACING SAIL BOATS!
Bebe says OH... .
AND THOSE ONES
ARE THE QUARTERS!
Mo says HUH, THAT'S RIGHT!
QUARTERS ARE
WORTH 25
CENTS EACH!
Bebe says IS THAT A
MOOSE ON THE QUARTER MO?
Mo says IT LOOKS LIKE A MOOSE,
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CARIBOU...
WHICH IS KINDA
LIKE A MOOSE!
YEAH.
Bebe says HUH.
WHAT ARE THOSE
GOLDEN-LOOKING
ONES?
Mo says OHHHH,
THOSE ARE
ONE DOLLAR COINS.
CANADIANS CALL THEM "LOONIES."
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOON ON THEM.
A LOON IS A BIRD.
AND FINALLY...
Bebe says UH-HUH?...
Mo says THE 2
DOLLAR COIN.
GOLDEN ON
THE INSIDE AND
SILVERY ON THE
OUTSIDE... ALSO KNOWN
AS THE "TOONIE."
Bebe says A TOONIE?
Mo says HMMM.
Bebe says WELL WHY ARE
THEY CALLED THAT?
Mo says WELL, BECAUSE
IT'S WORTH 2
DOLLARS.
HMMM.
TWO?
TOONIE?
GET IT?
Bebe says LOONIE?
TOONIE?
WE SURE HAVE SOME
FUNNY NAMES FOR OUR
MONEY IN CANADA!
Mo says YEAH.
(GOOSE SOUND)
Bebe says HA!
YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT SOUND MEANS!
GAVIN'S CALLING!
Mo says OH, I WONDER WHERE
HE'S CALLING FROM
TODAY?
Mo picks up the tablet, answers the call and says HA!
YEAH.
On videocall, Gavin the goose says HEY YOU TWO!
WHATCHYA UP TO TODAY?
Bebe says WE'RE COUNTING
ALL THE COINS IN
MO'S PIGGY BANK!
Mo says HUH-HMM.
Gavin says OHHHH!
WHAT LUCK!
I HAPPEN TO BE VISITING
A COIN STORE TODAY!
Mo says UH, WHAT'S
A COIN STORE?
Gavin says IT'S A PLACE THAT
HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF COINS!
I'LL TURN ON MY HELMET CAM
SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.
Mo says OH-HO-HO-HO-HO!
COOL!
LOOK AT ALL THOSE COINS!
Bebe says SO SHINY!
Gavin says AND THIS IS STEVEN!
HE'S THE OWNER
OF THIS PLACE!
Steven says HEY YOU TWO!
Steven has short wavy brown hair and wears a pale blue shirt.
Bebe says HI STEVEN!
I DIDN'T REALISE
WERE SO MANY COINS.
Mo says YEAH!
Steven says MOST OF THESE
ARE "COMMEMORATIVES,"
WHICH MEANS THEY
WERE MADE ESPECIALLY
FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE
TO COLLECT COINS!
Steven shows a coin and says TAKE THIS ONE FOR
EXAMPLE: IT CELEBRATES
THE FIFTIETH YEAR SINCE
OUT FLAG WAS INTRODUCED.
Mo says COOL!
WELL HOW ARE COINS
MADE STEVEN?
Steven says COINS ARE MADE AT
A PLACE CALLED A "MINT."
WHERE BIG SHEETS OF METAL
GO THROUGH A MACHINE,
THEY PUNCH OUT THE CIRCLES
AND THEN THEY PRESS THEM
TO ADD THE WORDS, THE
NUMBERS AND THE LETTERS.
Bebe says WELL, WHY DO WE
EVEN NEED MONEY?
Mo says YEAH?
Steven says WITHOUT MONEY,
YOU COULDN'T BUY ALL THE
THINGS YOU
NEED AND WANT.
Mo says YOU MEAN LIKE,
LIKE FOOD AND
CLOTHING?
Steven says EXACTLY!
THOSE ARE THINGS
YOU NEED.
Bebe says WELL WHAT
ABOUT TOYS?
Steven says THOSE ARE THINGS
YOU DON'T REALLY NEED,
BUT YOU WANT; AND YES, YOU
NEED MONEY FOR THOSE TOO.
Bebe says UM, GAMES?
Steven says YUP.
Mo says AIR?
Steven says NO.
THAT'S FREE.
Bebe says SUNSHINE?
Steven says ALSO FREE.
Bebe says GOOD TO KNOW.
THANKS FOR
TALKING WITH US!
Mo says HAHAHAHA.
Steven says MY PLEASURE!
Gavin says WELL, THAT'S ALL
FOR ME TODAY YOU TWO.
I'VE HAD MY EYE ON A SPECIAL
EDITION CANADIAN GOOSE COIN
I JUST HAVE TO HAVE
IN MY COLLECTION.
I JUST NEED TO GRAB SOME COINS
FROM MY POCKET AND I'LL OOPS!
WOHA!
Gavin drops all the coins from their pocket and says OOPS!
WINGS ARE DEFINITELY
NOT MADE FOR HOLDING COINS.
HAHA!
TALK SOON!
Gavin picks up the coins and says UH, OK... ..
ONE, TWO...
Bebe says SEE YA' GAVIN!
Mo says HM, BYE GAVIN!
HA!
Bebe says SO WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO BUY WITH
ALL YOUR COINS MO?
UH, A NEW BIKE?
Mo says HMMMMM, NOPE.
Bebe says HMMM...
A NEW SKATEBOARD?
Mo says NOPE!
Bebe says OH!
A NEW MOOSE-MAN
ACTION FIGURE!
Mo says BETTER THAN THAT!
Bebe closes their eyes.
(GIGGLING)
Mo says YOU READY?
Bebe says YUP!
Mo says OKAY!
OPEN YOUR EYES!
AHHHHHHH... .
Bebe says ANTLER COZIES?
Mo says OH, YOU KNOW,
TO KEEP MY
ANTLERS WARM!
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Bebe says THEY LOOK
VERY AHHHHHH...
COZY!
In animation, Canadian provinces appear as the song names them, completing the map of Canada.
The song says NOVA SCOTIA,
P.E.I., NEW BRUNSWICK,
NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR, QUEBEC,
ONTARIO, MANITOBA
AND THERE ARE MORE.
B.C, ALBERTA, SASKATCHEWAN,
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES,
NUNAVUT, YUKON.
TEN PROVINCES,
THREE TERRITORIES,
EASTERN MARITIMES,
WESTERN PRAIRIES,
PROVINCES TEN
TERRITORIES THREE
The end credits roll.
Andrea says WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.
LET'S REVIEW SOME OF THE COINS
THAT BEBE AND MO FOUND
WHEN THEY OPENED UP
MO'S PIGGY BANK.
She points to a two-column table on the whiteboard.
She says NOW, I PRINTED OUT
THE CANADIAN COINS,
BUT YOU MIGHT CHOOSE
TO USE REAL CANADIAN COINS,
OR ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN
DRAW OUT THE COINS YOURSELF.
NOW, IF YOU REMEMBER
FROM THE VIDEO,
THIS WAS BEBE'S FAVOURITE COIN.
An animated 5 cents coin appears.
She continues IT HAS A BEAVER ON IT.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE NAME?
IF YOU SAID "NICKEL,"
YOU'RE CORRECT.
AS MO MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO,
THIS COIN HAS
THE BLUENOSE SHIP ON IT,
WHICH IS A SHIP THAT IS
OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER
THE NAME OF THIS COIN?
IF YOU SAID "DIME,"
YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
She writes the coin names in the first column.
She says THIS COIN HERE
IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR A MOOSE,
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CARIBOU.
THIS COIN IS CALLED?
QUARTER.
NOW, THIS GOLD-COLOURED
COIN RIGHT HERE,
NAMED FOR THE BIRD ON THE COIN,
THE LOON, IS CALLED A LOONIE.
AND OUR LAST COIN
HAS A POLAR BEAR ON IT.
BECAUSE IT'S WORTH TWO DOLLARS,
YOU GUESSED RIGHT.
IT'S CALLED A TOONIE.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW, LET'S JOIN TUMBLEWEED
THE HAMSTER AS HE LOOKS TO USE
HIS PIGGY BANK SAVINGS
TO BUY A CRATE OF SEEDS.
OVER TO YOU, TUMBLEWEED.
(music plays)
A red book with a hamster on the cover appears against a background in which a castle can be seen.
Tumbleweed says TUMBLETOWN TALES!
STARRING ME,
TUMBLEWEED.
The red book opens. A popup castle comes up, and inside the castle Tumbleweed sits in a room.
Tumbleweed says I SHOULD PROBABLY DO
SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS MAIL.
LET'S SEE.
NEWSPAPER, BILL, JUNK MAIL.
OH, A POSTCARD FROM AUNT GUSSY.
I'LL KEEP THAT FOR LATER.
LET'S SEE, BILL, BILL.
FLYERS!
I LOVE FLYERS!
WHOA, A WHOLE CRATE OF SEEDS
FOR ONLY TWO DOLLARS!
EUREKA!
IT'S MY LUCKY DAY.
I HOPE I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
SAVED UP IN MY GUINEA PIG BANK.
COME ON, GUINEA PIG BANK!
DON'T FAIL ME NOW.
OKAY, HERE WE GO.
MOMENT OF TRUTH.
AND, HI-YAH!
Tumbleweed drops his pig bank to the floor and it breaks.
Tumbleweed says HA-HA!
I'M RICH!
AND IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE ENOUGH
NICKELS SAVED UP FOR THE SALE.
Down the street, Tumbleweed sings GOING TO THE STORE
GOT MY 40 NICKELS
FOR THE CRATE
DOOBIE-DOOBIE
DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO
THESE ARE HEAVY.
Now, on a deck, Tumbleweed says OKAY, ALL MY NICKELS
ARE IN THE BOAT HERE
ALL PACKED UP AND READY TO GO.
AND NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS
TAKE THE BOAT TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND I WILL GET...
HEY!
MY BOAT IS SINKING!
MY BOAT IS SINK...SINKING.
MY BOAT SANK.
IT SANK.
MY BOAT SANK.
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Sea Captain appears on a boat. He is a white hamster.
Sea Captain says HEY, HEY, FUZZY FACE!
MY BUDDY, WHAT'S HAPPENIN', MAN?
Tumbleweed says MY BOAT SANK.
Sea Captain says WHAT?
HOW COME?
Tumbleweed says WELL, I PUT 40 NICKELS IN IT
BECAUSE I WAS GONNA
BUY A CRATE OF SEEDS
AND THEN IT SANK JUST LIKE THAT!
Sea Captain says MAN, 40 NICKELS IS WAY TOO MUCH
FOR SUCH A LITTLE BOAT!
WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST TAKE A TWO DOLLAR COIN?
Tumbleweed says A TWO DOLLAR COIN?
BUT THAT'S ONLY ONE COIN.
Sea Captain says IT'S NOT ABOUT
THE QUANTITY OF COINS.
IT'S ABOUT HOW MUCH
THE COINS ARE WORTH.
Tumbleweed says REALLY?
Sea Captain says OF COURSE!
TELL ME THIS.
HOW MANY NICKELS
ARE IN A TWO DOLLAR COIN?
Tumbleweed says IT'S, UH, WELL, I NEEDED
TWO DOLLARS FOR MY CRATE.
AND THEN I COUNTED MY 40 NICKELS
AND THAT ADDED UP
TO TWO DOLLARS.
SO, 40 NICKELS.
Sea Captain says SO THERE YOU GO.
ONE TWO DOLLAR COIN
IS WORTH THE SAME AS 40 NICKELS
AND IT'S EASIER TO CARRY.
Tumbleweed says I GET IT.
INSTEAD OF CARRYING 40 NICKELS,
I CAN JUST BRING
ONE TWO DOLLAR COIN
'CAUSE IT'S WORTH 40 NICKELS.
THAT'S EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Sea Captain says NO PROBLEM, MAN.
NOW, I SUPPOSE YOU WANT ME TO
PULL YOUR BOAT OUT OF THE WATER?
Tumbleweed says YEAH, COULD YOU?
AND WHAT ABOUT MY NICKELS?
Sea Captain says FOR ALL THAT WORK
I'M KEEPING THE NICKELS.
Tumbleweed says OH, OKAY, THAT SEEMS FAIR.
SEE YA LATER!
Sea Captain says MAN, WHEN IS HE
EVER GOING TO LEARN?
Tumbleweed says IT'S A GOOD THING I FOUND
A TWO DOLLAR COIN UNDER MY COUCH
TO BUY THOSE SEEDS.
I DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT SALE.
THIS IS MUCH EASIER TO CARRY.
HEY, SEA CAPTAIN!
Tumbleweed says HEY, FUZZY FACE!
Tumbleweed is on his way to the store.
Tumbleweed says PLAN IS STILL ON TRACK
GONNA GO TO THE STORE
AND BUY SOME SEEDS
HEY!
PLEASE!
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE
A CRATE OF SEEDS LEFT.
Cashier says UH, WE'VE GOT ONE LEFT.
Tumbleweed laughs and says I HAVE A WHOLE CRATE OF SEEDS!
THERE WE GO.
MY PRECIOUS CRATE OF SEEDS.
Tumbleweed loads the crate into his boat.
Tumbleweed says OH, IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD WHEN
I GET YOU BACK TO THE CASTLE
AND THEN I CAN EAT YOU ALL UP.
AND THEN...
OH, NO!
NO, NO, MY BOAT!
MY BOAT SANK!
IT SANK!
THE SEEDS MUST'VE BEEN
TOO HEAVY FOR IT.
I-I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT.
YOU THINK I WOULD'VE
LEARNED THAT LESSON BY NOW,
BUT, UH, UGH,
I GUESS...I GUESS...
I WONDER
IF THEY'LL STILL TASTE GOOD
EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE WET.
YOU KNOW, THE NEXT TIME
I HAVE TWO DOLLARS,
I THINK I'M GONNA BUY A BETTER
BOAT TRAILER BECAUSE THIS ONE...
THIS ONE WON'T HOLD ANYTHING.
IT'S ALWAYS SINKING.
The TVO Kids logo appears.
Andrea says WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.
FOR OUR NEXT TASK,
WE HAVE A GROUP OF COINS.
NOW, I PRINTED OUT
THE IMAGES OF THE COINS,
BUT YOU CAN USE
REAL CANADIAN COINS,
OR YOU CAN DRAW THEM YOURSELF.
ONCE YOU HAVE
YOUR GROUP OF COINS,
LET'S TAKE A LOOK,
AND WE'LL USE THIS
AS OUR SAMPLE THIS TIME AROUND
OF HOW MANY WE HAVE
OF EACH SPECIFIC COIN.
LET'S START OFF WITH
OUR LARGEST COIN, THE TOONIE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE
I HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, TOONIES.
NOW, AS WE COMPLETE
THIS TASK TOGETHER,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SHARE
YOUR IDEAS ALOUD WITH A FRIEND,
OR JOT DOWN YOUR ANSWERS
ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
NEXT, LET'S GO TO OUR LOONIE.
THIS IS THE COIN
WITH THE LOON BIRD ON IT,
THE GOLD COLOURED ONE.
WE HAVE ONE, TWO, LOONIES.
She writes the amount of coins.
She continues DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE COIN
THAT HAS THE CARIBOU ON IT?
IF YOU SAID "QUARTER,"
YOU'RE RIGHT.
HOW MANY QUARTERS DO WE HAVE?
IT LOOKS LIKE
WE HAVE JUST ONE QUARTER.
TAKE A LOOK.
HOW MANY DIMES
DO YOU THINK WE HAVE?
I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND HERE.
IF YOU SAID ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR DIMES, YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND WHAT WAS THE NAME
OF OUR LAST COIN AGAIN?
THE NICKEL!
HOW MANY NICKELS DO WE HAVE?
LET'S COUNT THEM OUT.
ONE, TWO.
TWO NICKELS.
EXCELLENT WORK, EVERYONE.
NOW, LET'S REVIEW ON WHAT KINDS
OF COINS WE ENDED UP WITH.
IN OUR GROUP OF COINS,
WE ENDED UP WITH THREE TOONIES,
TWO LOONIES,
ONE QUARTER, FOUR DIMES
AND TWO NICKELS.
NOW, I WANT YOU
TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
GRAB A HANDFUL OF COINS, WHETHER
IT'S REAL CANADIAN COINS,
WHAT I DID,
PRINT-OUT IMAGES OF COINS,
OR DRAW THE COINS YOURSELF.
YOU CAN USE CHART PAPER,
A COMPUTER,
OR YOU CAN SHARE WITH A PARTNER.
HOW MANY OF EACH COIN DID YOU
GET IN YOUR HANDFUL OF COINS?
HOW MANY TOONIES?
HOW MANY LOONIES?
HOW MANY QUARTERS?
HOW MANY DIMES?
AND HOW MANY NICKELS?
NOW, LET'S MEET TEACHER TROY AS
HE GIVES US SOME TIPS ON MONEY.
(soft music plays)
Troy stands next to a gray chalkboard showing math signs, different coins and a colourful logo that reads "TVOKids Home Work Zone." He is in her early thirties, clean-shaven and bald. He wears a blue T-shirt and a watch.
He says HEY GUYS, IT'S
TEACHER TROY HERE WITH SOME
HOMEWORK HELP.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT MATH AND MONEY BUT
SPECIFICALLY WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALK ABOUT CHANGE AND DEALING
WITH ONE DOLLAR.
IF WE LOOK AT IT, A DOLLAR HERE
IN CANADA IS CALLED A LOONY AND
WE USED TO, HOPEFULLY YOU'RE
USED TO CARRYING AT LEAST A GOLD
COIN IN YOUR POCKET EVER SO
OFTEN.
He points to a large golden coin and continues BUT WHAT IS THIS DOLLAR REALLY
REPRESENT?
THIS IS A PENNY.
IMAGINE HAVING 100 OF THESE IN
YOUR POCKET.
YOU'D BEEN WALKING AROUND,
IMAGINE HOW MUCH NOISE YOU'D
MAKE.
DO WHAT THEY'VE DONE, IS THEY'VE
MADE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COINS TO
HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW MONEY
WORKS.
SO THIS LOONY RIGHT HERE IS
WORTH 100 OF THESE.
OKAY, SO NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO
CARRY A 100 OF THESE AROUND SO
WHAT THEY DID IS THEY MADE OTHER
UNITS OF OTHER TYPES OF COINS.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE THE
QUARTER AND A QUARTER IS WORTH
25 CENTS.
SO NOW INSTEAD OF CARRYING 25 OF
THESE YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE
OF THESE.
SO NOW IF WE LOOK AT IT, 25 PLUS
25 PLUS 25 PLUS 25, GIVES US A
DOLLAR.
SO NOW WE HAVE FOUR QUARTERS.
WE CAN ALSO BREAK IT DOWN EVEN
FURTHER, WHERE WE HAVE WHAT'S
CALLED A DIME AND A DIME IS NOW,
THE 10 ON THERE MEANS 10 CENTS
AND PENNY IS ONE CENT SO WE KNOW
THAT EACH ONE OF THESE HAS 10.
SO WITH 10 DIMES - ONE, TWO,
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, TEN, GIVES US THE
SAME AS A LOONY.
AND OF COURSE CAN YOU IMAGINE
HOW MANY NICKELS WE NEED TO
HAVE?
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND THAT, WHEN YOU'RE
CARRYING MONEY AROUND YOU CAN
MIX AND MATCH THESE TO MAKE
DIFFERENT VALUES SO OF COURSE WE
ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW
THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CHANGE AS
POSSIBLE BUT AND THE OTHER
CHANGE YOU DO HAVE JUST PUT IT
IN A JAR OR SOMETHING AND SAVE
IT.
BUT THAT'S JUST TO UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU KNOW ALL OF THESE WORK
TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU A GOOD
VALUE WITH, WE'LL START WITH OUR
DOLLAR BEING OUR NUMBER ONE AND
EVERYTHING ELSE BREAKS DOWN FROM
THAT.
THAT'S TEACHER TROY WITH SOME
HELP ON MONEY.
Andrea says WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.
LET'S PRACTISE
SOME OF THE NEW LEARNING
THAT TEACHER TROY TAUGHT US
IN THAT PREVIOUS VIDEO.
She turns and points to a two-column table. The first column shows coins, the second column is empty.
She continues AS TEACHER TROY
LOOKED AT THE COINS,
HE ASSIGNED
A VALUE TO EACH COIN.
SO LET'S DO A LITTLE BIT
OF A REVIEW TOGETHER.
THE TWO DOLLAR COIN,
THE WORD "THE TOONIE,"
IS WORTH TWO DOLLARS.
WHAT ABOUT
THAT GOLD COLOURED COIN
THAT HAS THE LOON BIRD ON IT?
IT'S CALLED A LOONIE.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER
WHAT IT'S WORTH?
IF YOU SAID ONE DOLLAR,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND THIS QUARTER RIGHT HERE THAT
HAS THE CARIBOU ON IT?
WHAT IS IT WORTH?
25 CENTS.
AND HOW ABOUT THE BLUENOSE SHIP,
THE SMALLEST
OF THE COINS, THE DIME?
10 CENTS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND OUR LAST COIN, THE COIN WITH
THE BEAVER ON IT, THE NICKEL?
FIVE CENTS.
She completes the second column.
She continues NOW THAT YOU KNOW
THE NAMES OF THE COINS,
AND THE VALUES OF THE COINS,
LET'S GO BACK
TO OUR PREVIOUS ACTIVITY
WHERE WE HAD
THAT GROUP OF COINS.
LET'S FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH NOW
THE VALUE
OF ALL THOSE COINS WERE.
IF WE DO
A LITTLE BIT OF A REVIEW,
REMEMBER, THIS GROUP OF COINS
HAD THREE TOONIES,
TWO LOONIES, ONE QUARTER,
FOUR DIMES, AND TWO NICKELS.
NOW, A TOONIE, IF WE REMEMBER,
IS WORTH TWO DOLLARS.
BUT WE HAVE
THREE OF THOSE TOONIES.
SO IF WE HAVE
THREE OF THOSE TOONIES,
WE HAVE TWO DOLLARS,
PLUS TWO DOLLARS,
PLUS TWO DOLLARS.
TAKE A MOMENT
TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
TWO, PLUS TWO, PLUS TWO.
IF YOU SAID "SIX DOLLARS,"
YOU'RE CORRECT.
NOW, IN OUR GROUP OF COINS, WE
HAD TWO LOONIES.
EACH LOONIE
IS WORTH ONE DOLLAR.
IF WE HAVE TWO OF THOSE LOONIES,
IT MEANS WE HAVE ONE DOLLAR,
PLUS ONE DOLLAR.
SO, ALL TOGETHER
WE HAVE TWO DOLLARS.
OUR GROUP OF COINS
WE FOUND WE HAD ONE QUARTER.
ONE QUARTER IS WORTH 25 CENTS.
FOUR DIMES,
WHERE EACH DIME IS WORTH...
DO YOU REMEMBER?
10 CENTS.
THAT MEANS WE HAVE 10 CENTS,
PLUS 10 CENTS, PLUS 10 CENTS,
PLUS 10 CENTS.
FOUR 10 CENTS.
THAT MEANS IN DIMES
WE HAVE 40 CENTS.
NOW, WE HAVE TWO NICKELS AND
EACH NICKEL IS WORTH FIVE CENTS.
FIVE CENTS,
PLUS FIVE CENTS, EQUALS?
YOU GOT IT!
10 CENTS.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW, GO BACK
TO THAT HANDFUL OF COINS
THAT YOU CREATED FOR YOURSELF.
USING THE SAME METHOD
THAT WE USED,
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THAT GROUP
OF COINS THAT YOU COLLECTED?
GREAT WORK FIGURING OUT THE
VALUE OF OUR SET OF COINS.
NOW, LET'S GO TO AN EPISODE
OF
LET'S FIND OUT: MONEYPALOOZA.
(music plays)
The show opens with two girls and a boy pointing at the camera and saying the show title.
A slate appears for each word inside a speech bubble against a background of colourful pixels.
Then, the speech bubbles show the names of the characters.
Melissa is in her twenties and has long, straight, brown hair with bangs. She wears a pink knitted hat, a red shirt, a white jacket, and black pants.
Shamus is in his twenties and has short, black hair. He wears a black fedora, black glasses, a plaid shirt with a blue bow-tie, and red pants.
Ruth is in her thirties and has medium-length blonde hair with bangs. She wears a light-blue ensemble of sportswear.
In the kitchen, Melissa says MONEY-PALOOZA IS THIS
AWESOME NEW GAME WHERE
YOU RACE TO COUNT MONEY.
I JUST PLAYED RUTH, AND
THINGS GOT A LITTLE CRAZY.
(music plays)
Pictures of her and Ruth with money on their hands appear.
A speech bubble with Shamus' picture reads WELL, I JUST
WON AGAINST MY SIX YEAR OLD
COUSIN SO I FEEL PRETTY
UNSTOPPABLE!
Melissa says OH!
THAT'S
MY
LINE.
As Melissa types in her tablet, speech bubble displays what she says, which reads ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME
TO A GAME OF MONEY-PALOOZA?
Shamus says YES, MY
PLACE RIGHT NOW.
Melissa says THEN I ACCEPT
YOUR CHALLENGE,
AND I WILL
RISE TO IT.
She almost falls off a stool and says OH!
NOT SAFE,
NOT SAFE.
I'M GOING TO BAIL.
I'M JUST GOING TO BAIL.
TO SHAMUS' HOUSE, TO
PLAY MONEY-PALOOZA!
She runs to Shamus' house.
Melissa says HEY, SHAMUS.
Shamus says HEY, MELISSA.
ARE YOU READY
TO SEE WHO HAS
THE BEST
COUNTING SKILLS?
Melissa says YOU BET I AM.
AND WHEN I WANT TO
FIND SOMETHING OUT,
She screams I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
Shamus says RIGHT, OKAY, I'VE
DIVIDED THE MONEY UP.
Melissa says MONEY!
Shamus says NOW, I'LL DRAW THE
FIRST MONEY CHALLENGE.
Melissa says MONEY CHALLENGE.
Shamus turns over a card and says HERE IT IS.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
IT SAYS BIG SCHOOL
PROJECT SUPPLIES.
14.55 DOLLARS.
Melissa says WHOEVER COUNTS THE
MONEY THE FASTEST WINS.
Shamus says READY?
Melissa says SET.
They both say GO!
Melissa says I CAN DO TWO
FIVES, AND I CAN DO...
Shamus says 14.55 DOLLARS!
Melissa says YOU GOT LUCKY THIS
TIME, SHAMUS.
Shamus says IT'S NOT LUCK.
(music plays)
They keep playing.
Shamus says NEXT MONEY
CHALLENGE.
BACK TO SCHOOL CLOTHES.
76 DOLLARS.
GO.
ONE 50, ONE 20,
ONE 5, ONE LOONIE.
GOT IT, 76 DOLLARS.
Melissa screams.
Melissa says I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU KEEP BEATING ME!
Shamus says BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
COUNTING IN ANY ORDER.
TO MAKE 76 DOLLARS, YOU START
OFF WITH A 50 DOLLAR BILL,
THEN WORK YOUR WAY DOWN
TO THE 20 DOLLAR BILL, AND THEN
THE NEXT SMALLEST
BILL IS...
Melissa says THE FIVE.
AND THEN THE SMALLEST
COIN IS THE LOONIE.
76 DOLLARS.
Shamus says YOU GOT IT.
Melissa says OH, WOW.
HEY, THANKS FOR
THE TIPS, SHAMUS.
I THINK MAYBE NOW I HAVE
A CHANCE OF BEATING YOU.
AND THAT CALLS FOR
A VICTORY MOMENT.
They do a victory dance.
Melissa says NOW I KNOW THAT WHEN I'M
COUNTING MONEY, IT IS SO
MUCH EASIER TO START WITH
THE LARGEST BILL AND WORK
YOUR WAY DOWN TO
THE SMALLEST COIN.
I'M A COUNTING MACHINE.
In the kitchen, Melissa says WELL, SHAMUS,
I'M IMPRESSED.
YOU REALLY GAVE ME A
RUN FOR MY MONEY THERE.
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
RUN, FOR MY MONEY, HA!
Shamus says I THOUGHT I NEEDED
TO PUT MY MONEY
WHERE MY MOUTH IS.
GET IT?
Melissa says YOU MAKE NO
CENTS, SHAMUS.
YASSSS!
Shamus says I'M SO FUNNY.

Andrea says NOW THAT YOU'RE ALL EXPERTS
ON THE VALUES OF COINS
AND THE NAMES OF YOUR COINS,
LET'S HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
A PROBLEM SOLVING CHALLENGE.
She reads "YOU ARE AT THE LAUNDROMAT.
YOU HAVE A TOONIE, BUT
LAUNDRY ONLY COSTS ONE DOLLAR.
WHEN YOU ASK
THE SHOPKEEPER FOR CHANGE,
WHAT COMBINATION
OF COINS MIGHT YOU ASK FOR?"
She says SO, IF WE HAVE A TOONIE AND
OUR LAUNDRY COSTS A DOLLAR,
IT MEANS THAT
WE HAVE TWO DOLLARS.
WE ARE SPENDING ONE DOLLAR.
HOW MUCH MONEY
WOULD WE GET BACK?
IF YOU SAID "ONE DOLLAR,"
YOU ARE RIGHT.
ONE DOLLAR.
NOW, HOW COULD WE ASK
THE SHOPKEEPER TO GIVE US
BACK OUR CHANGE?
IF WE GET ONE DOLLAR IN CHANGE,
WE MIGHT ASK FOR ONE LOONIE.
WHAT OTHER POSSIBLE
COMBINATIONS COULD WE ASK FOR?
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
IF YOU SAID "FOUR QUARTERS,"
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
She draws coins and continues IF EACH OF OUR QUARTERS
IS WORTH 25 CENTS,
AND WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM,
THAT MEANS WE GET
ONE DOLLAR IN CHANGE.
NOW THAT WE'VE FIGURED OUT
TWO POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS
THAT WE MIGHT GET BACK,
ONE LOONIE, OR FOUR QUARTERS,
LET ME POSE A CHALLENGE
FOR YOU TO FIGURE OUT.
HOW MANY DIMES
DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT GET BACK
IF WE GET A DOLLAR IN CHANGE?
HOW ABOUT HOW MANY
NICKELS MIGHT WE GET BACK
IF WE GET A DOLLAR IN CHANGE?
TAKE SOME TIME
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU CAN USE A PIECE OF PAPER,
OR YOU CAN JUST
SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH A PARTNER.
FIGURE OUR HOW MANY DIMES
WOULD GIVE YOU A DOLLAR
AND HOW MANY NICKELS
WOULD GIVE YOU A DOLLAR.
SECOND CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
LET'S TRY THIS ONE TOGETHER.
WHAT COMBINATION OF COINS
COULD YOU USE FOR TWO DOLLARS?
LET'S START OFF TOGETHER.
WELL, WE KNOW
A TOONIE IS TWO DOLLARS,
SO HAVING ONE TOONIE
WOULD GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
WHAT ABOUT LOONIES?
HOW MANY LOONIES WOULD
YOU NEED FOR TWO DOLLARS?
IF YOU SAID "TWO,"
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
NOW THAT WE'VE THOUGHT
OF TWO COMBINATIONS TOGETHER
FOR TWO DOLLARS,
ONE TOONIE AND TWO LOONIES,
I'M GONNA ASK YOU,
"HOW MANY QUARTERS WOULD
WE NEED TO HAVE TWO DOLLARS?"
HOW MANY DIMES WOULD
YOU NEED TO HAVE TWO DOLLARS?
AND, FINALLY, HOW MANY NICKELS
WOULD GIVE YOU TWO DOLLARS?
WORK WITH A PARTNER,
OR ON A PIECE OF PAPER,
OR USE YOUR COMPUTER, AND
FIGURE OUT HOW MANY OF QUARTERS,
DIMES, AND NICKELS, WOULD YOU
NEED TO MAKE TWO DOLLARS.
Agent Olympia is around 10, has long straight brown hair in a ponytail and wears red-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, a red tie and a blue blazer with an Odd Squad badge.
She says MY NAME IS AGENT OLYMPIA.
THIS IS MY PARTNER,
AGENT OTIS.
Agent Otis is around 11, with short straight blond hair and wears a white shirt, red tie and a blue blazer with an Odd Squad badge.
Agent Olympia says THIS IS A POLAR BEAR
IN A SNOWSTORM.
BUT BACK TO OTIS AND ME.
WE WORK FOR
AN ORGANIZATION RUN BY KIDS
THAT INVESTIGATES
ANYTHING STRANGE,
WEIRD, AND ESPECIALLY ODD.
A painting of a lion with a mouse face appears. Then, a picture of an invisible person with a suit and glasses appears.
Olympia says OUR JOB
IS TO PUT THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
Clips show Olympia and Otis with their other team members working and training at the organization.
Olympia says WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR
ODD SQUAD.
A woman on the street says THANKS FOR COMING,
ODD SQUAD.
The Odd Squad badge appears with the caption "Created by Tim McKeon and Adam Peltzman."
The name of the episode reads "Show me the money."
Otis says WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE PROBLEM, MA'AM?
The woman says A COUPLE OF THINGS.
FIRST, MY BRIEFCASE
IS ENORMOUS...
MY CAR TURNED
INTO A RAINBOW...
THE ONLY GOOD THING IS
I FINALLY FOUND
A WEDDING DRESS I LOVE!
EXCEPT... I'M NOT GETTING
MARRIED TO ANYONE.
Olympia says OH, I SEE WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
YOU'RE DREAMING.
The woman says WAIT, THIS IS
ALL A DREAM?
Otis says YUP.
THANKS FOR INCLUDING US IN IT.
Olympia says IF YOU WANNA FIX THIS,
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WAKE UP.
The woman says OH YEAH.
I WILL!
THANKS, ODD SQUAD.
WAIT, CAN
I FLY FIRST?
Otis says HEY, IT'S YOUR DREAM.
The woman blasts off.
(jet engine sound)
Otis says WAIT, IF IT'S HER DREAM,
THEN WHY ARE WE STILL HERE?
Olympia says OH, IT'S ACTUALLY YOUR DREAM.
Otis says OH.
(grunts)
He blasts off.
Olympia says WAIT - IF IT'S HIS DREAM,
THEN WHY AM I...
OH!
Olympia also blasts off.
At the headquarters, Debbie, the pizza delivery girl says OKAY, GUYS,
SO THERE'S ONE LARGE PIZZA.
YOU GUYS NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
LIKE A LITTLE... EDIBLE MAP?
YOU COULD -
YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
OH, GOOGLY GLASSES.
THESE.
ALSO, A CALCULATOR.
NO, NO...
I ALSO HAVE GUM.
Olympia says OOH, I'LL TAKE
SOME GUM.
Debbie says 'KAY.
GUM?
Otis says UGH.
Olympia says YOU DON'T LIKE GUM?
Otis says OF COURSE NOT.
IF YOU'RE GOING
TO CHEW SOMETHING,
IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING USEFUL,
LIKE FOOD.
I WOULD NOT BUY GUM
IF IT MEANT
SAVING THE WORLD.
Olympia says SOMETIMES YOU REMIND ME
OF AN OLD, UPSET MAN.
Debbie says SO...
THAT IS A LARGE PIZZA,
AND THAT'S A GUM.
THAT COMES TO TEN DOLLARS
AND FIVE CENTS.
Otis says HERE'S A TEN DOLLAR BILL,
BUT I DON'T HAVE FIVE CENTS.
Debbie says THAT'S OKAY. IT'S JUST A NICKEL.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
Otis says NO, I INSIST.
WAIT - I SAW SOME
COINS IN THE LAB.
In the lab, they find a display box full of coins.
Olympia says SEEMS LIKE A WEIRD WAY
TO STORE COINS.
Otis says IT'S JUST OSCAR
AND OONA BEING...
WELL...OSCAR AND OONA.
Olympia says THAT'S 25 CENTS,
AND THAT'S TEN CENTS.
Otis says HERE'S A FIVE CENT COIN.
TEN DOLLARS AND FIVE CENTS.
Debbie says THANK YOU,
ODD SQUAD.
Olympia says SHOULD WE HAVE ASKED
BEFORE WE BORROWED MONEY?
Otis says IT'S OSCAR
AND OONA.
THEY WON'T CARE IF
WE TAKE FIVE CENTS...
Oona rushes in and says YOU TOOK FIVE CENTS?!
Olympia says UH, YEAH...
WE GAVE IT TO
DELIVERY DEBBIE
TO BUY PIZZA.
Oona says THAT'S OKAY. YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
(laugh)
Oona says EVERYONE MAKES... MISTAKES!
Otis says HEY, CALM DOWN.
WE'LL PAY YOU BACK.
Oona says IT'S NOT... ABOUT...
THE MONEY!
THESE ARE UNLUCKY COINS!
Olympia says WHAT?
Oona gives her a coin and says HERE, HOLD THIS...
She gives her a mirror and says NOW THIS.
The mirror cracks.
Oona says SEE?
Otis says UNLUCKY!
I'M SORRY, BUT THIS IS
A LITTLE YOUR FAULT, TOO.
Olympia says YEAH, I MEAN, YOU JUST LEFT
THESE COINS OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT.
Otis says YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST HAD,
LIKE, A CAGE WITH LASERS.
Oona says LIKE THIS ONE?
Olympia says THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN HELPFUL, YES.
Otis says YEAH.
Oona says YOU NEED TO FIND THAT COIN
AND PUT IT IN HERE
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
Olympia says YOU MEAN LIKE TOO LATE,
OR MIRRORS WILL KEEP BREAKING?
Oona says OR A METEOR WILL COLLAPSE
INTO THE EARTH,
SPLIT OUR PLANET IN HALF,
AND CAUSE US ALL TO
FLY INTO OUTER SPACE.
Olympia says OKAY...
Otis says WE'RE LEAVING NOW.
Olympia says YEAH.
On the street, Olympia spots Debbie and says THERE SHE IS!
Debbie says OH HEY, YOU GUYS.
I'M HAVING THE WORST DAY.
I CRASHED MY BIKE,
AND THEN I FELL DOWN A CHIMNEY,
AND THEN I LOST MY SHOE,
AND THEN A FALCON
SWOOPED DOWN
AND STOLE MY PIZZA -
WHICH DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE
BECAUSE IT'S NOT FALCON SEASON.
Otis says THIS IS OUR FAULT.
Debbie says WHAT?
Olympia says WE ACCIDENTALLY GAVE YOU
AN UNLUCKY FIVE CENT COIN...
WAIT, WHY ISN'T ANYTHING UNLUCKY
HAPPENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW?
Otis gives Debbie a mirror and says HOLD THAT, PLEASE,
DEBBIE.
Olympia says IT DIDN'T BREAK.
Otis says IS IT POSSIBLE YOU GAVE
THE COIN TO SOMEONE ELSE?
Debbie says SURE, I'VE BEEN GIVING
CUSTOMERS CHANGE ALL DAY.
Otis says WE'LL NEVER FIND IT NOW!
Debbie says NO, WE CAN, BECAUSE I KEEP
A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE
THAT I GAVE CHANGE TO
IN MY POCKET.
MY POCKET FELL OFF.
IT'S OVER THERE.
SEE?
I GAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
25 CENTS CHANGE.
Otis says BUT THEY CAN'T HAVE
THE FIVE CENT COIN
BECAUSE THEY'D HAVE
A 25 CENT COIN.
Debbie says NOT NECESSARILY.
PASS ME MY OTHER POCKET.
YOU SEE,
YOU CAN COMBINE DIFFERENT COINS
TO MAKE DIFFERENT TOTALS.
SO YOU NEED FIVE 5 CENT COINS
TO MAKE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS,
OR TWO TEN CENT COINS,
AND A FIVE CENT COIN
TO MAKE 25 CENTS.
Olympia says SO ANY OF YOUR CUSTOMERS
COULD HAVE IT.
WE SHOULD SPLIT UP.
DEBBIE, WE'LL FIND A WAY
TO MAKE THIS UP TO YOU.
I PROMISE.
Debbie says A SONG WOULD BE NICE.
Otis says WHAT KIND?
Debbie says A JAZZ FUSION SONG.
Olympia says CAN WE PUT IT
IN THE MONTAGE
OF US SEARCHING FOR
THE UNLUCKY COIN?
Debbie says ABSOLUTELY!
Olympia plays the piano and Otis plays the saxophone for Debbie.
Then they go around looking for the unlucky coin.
Otis looks in someone's pocket and says NO FIVE CENT COIN.
Olympia looks in another customer's purse and says NO FIVE CENT COIN.
Otis checks on a third customer and says NOT A FIVE CENT COIN.
Olympia says DEBBIE SAID THE LAST
TIME SHE GAVE CHANGE
WAS TO SOME
JUNIOR GIRL TROOPERS.
At the troopers' headquarters, they find all the girl troopers injured.
Olympia says I THINK WE FOUND IT.
Otis says THERE'S THE TROOP LEADER.
The troop leader says ODD SQUAD!
SOMETHING...
ODD IS HAPPENING.
UM, USUALLY MY GIRLS
ARE SAFE AND CAREFUL,
BUT IT HAS JUST BEEN
DISASTER AFTER DISASTER!
Otis says WE THINK YOUR TROOP HAS COME
IN CONTACT WITH AN UNLUCKY COIN.
IT ESCAPED FROM
OUR LAB THIS MORNING.
The troop leader says YOU ACCIDENTALLY
GAVE IT AWAY, DIDN'T YOU?
Olympia says HOW DID YOU -
The troop leader says "READING BETWEEN
THE LINES" BADGE.
Olympia says IF WE COULD JUST
SEARCH THE AREA...
The troop leader says BY ALL MEANS.
I'LL BE OVER HERE,
HELPING THE GIRLS EARN
THEIR GUM-CHEWING BADGE.
I'M KINDA THE EXPERT.
The troop leader puts a piece of gum in her mouth as she looks at herself in a mirror.
Olympia says OTIS, LOOK.
Otis says I CAN'T...
IT'S SO WET AND RUBBERY.
Olympia says NOT THE GUM!
THE MIRROR!
IT ISN'T BREAKING.
Otis says SO THE COIN CAN'T
BE HERE ANY MORE.
The troop leader says OH MY KERCHIEF!
TROOP LEADER BETSY
MUST HAVE IT!
WE SOLD COOKIES TODAY,
AND BETSY WAS TAKING
ALL THAT MONEY TO THE BANK!
Olympia says IF IT GOES
TO THE BANK,
IT'LL GET MIXED IN
WITH TONS OF OTHER COINS.
WE'LL NEVER GET IT BACK!
Otis says DO YOU KNOW WHICH BANK?
The troop leader says NO,
BUT I HAVE AN IDEA...
MOLLY!
Molly says HO!
The troop leader says MOLLY JUST GOT HER
TRACKING BADGE.
THIS IS TROOP LEADER
BETSY'S VEST.
GET THE SCENT, GIRL.
YOU'VE GOT THE SCENT, GIRL?
YOU'VE GOT IT?
Molly says GOT IT!
The troop leader says WELL?
FOLLOW HER!
The agents follow Molly.
The troop leader says OKAY, GIRLS,
MAKE A SHELTER!
Molly says SHE'S CLOSE...
THERE!
Sitting under a tree, Troop Leader Betsy says OH, MOLLY,
ODD SQUAD...
I HAVE HAD
THE WORST DAY!
I GOT CHASED
BY A FALCON.
Olympia says IT'S NOT EVEN
FALCON SEASON!
Otis says MA'AM, THIS IS GOING
TO SOUND STRANGE,
BUT WE NEED TO SEARCH
YOUR CHANGE PURSE.
Betsy says OKAY.
Olympia says TWENTY-FIVE CENT COIN,
TEN CENT COIN...
NO FIVE CENT COIN!
DID YOU BUY ANYTHING
ON THE WAY TO THE BANK?
Betsy says OH, JUST SOME PRETZELS FROM
THAT VENDING MACHINE OVER THERE.
(foreboding music plays)
The vending machine has a black thunderous cloud over it.
Olympia says UH, I HAVE A FEELING
THE COIN IS INSIDE.
Otis says IS IT BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTNING
AND THE SCARY NOISES?
Olympia says YEAH, THAT WAS IT.
(loud thunder)
Rain pours over the vending machine.
Otis says I REFUSE
TO BE BEATEN!
I EAT BAD LUCK
FOR BREAKFAST!
Otis says IT WON'T OPEN!
Olympia says BUY A SNACK!
Otis says GOOD IDEA!
SOMETHING HEALTHY
TO GIVE US ENERGY!
Olympia says NO, I MEAN SOMETHING
THAT WILL GIVE YOU
A FIVE CENT COIN AS CHANGE!
Otis says I HAVE THREE
TWENTY-FIVE CENT COINS.
SO THAT'S 25, 50, 75 CENTS.
AND YOU HAVE ONE MORE,
SO THAT'S ONE DOLLAR.
(falcons screeching)
Olympia says THE FALCONS ARE COMING!
I'LL HOLD THEM BACK.
SHIELDS UP!
(loud war cry)
(screeching)
Otis says IF I WANT CHANGE,
I NEED TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT COSTS LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR
SO THE MACHINE HAS TO
GIVE ME MONEY BACK.
Otis says A GRANOLA BAR
IS 70 CENTS.
Otis inserts coins in the slot and says TWENTY-FIVE CENTS,
FIFTY CENTS,
SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS...
ONE DOLLAR.
Otis says THIRTY CENTS CHANGE!
ARGH!
THREE TEN CENT COINS!
Olympia says YOU NEED TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT WILL GIVE YOU BACK
THE FIVE CENT COIN
IN CHANGE!
Otis says I REALIZE THAT NOW!
OKAY, I HAVE THREE
TEN CENT COINS,
SO THAT'S TEN, TWENTY,
THIRTY CENTS.
IF I WANT THE MACHINE
TO GIVE ME FIVE CENTS BACK,
I NEED TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT COSTS FIVE CENTS
LESS THAN THIRTY CENTS.
TWENTY-NINE,
TWENTY-EIGHT,
TWENTY-SEVEN, TWENTY-SIX...
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS...
WHAT COSTS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS?
NOOO!
NOT THE GUM!
(loud thunderclap)
Olympia says BAD LUCK IS GETTING WORSE!
Olympia says HURRY, OTIS,
OR THE WORLD WILL END!
Otis says BUT GUM GOES AGAINST
EVERYTHING I STAND FOR!
Olympia says SERIOUSLY?!
Otis says ARGH!
TEN CENTS!
TWENTY CENTS!
THIRTY CENTS!
THE FIVE CENT COIN!
OLYMPIA!
He tosses the coin to Olympia and she catches it in the box Oona gave her.
(triumphant music plays)
(angelic choir)
Olympia says THE FALCONS
ARE GONE.
NICE JOB,
PARTNER.
PARTNER?
Otis makes a blows a gum bubble and says I NEVER KNEW ABOUT
THE BLOWING BUBBLES PART.
NOW I GET IT.
Olympia says WE HAVE TO GET THIS
BACK TO HEADQUARTERS
BEFORE ANYTHING
ELSE HAPPENS.
WHICH WAY IS IT?
Molly says I SMELL THE WAY.
FOLLOW ME!
The Odd Squad badge appears as a caption reads "Odd Squad Training Video number 9: How to deal with a tiggle or a taggle."
Oscar stands next to two similar green creatures and says HEY, GUYS.
THE FIRST STEP TO DEALING
WITH A TIGGLE OR A TAGGLE
IS TO FIND OUT IF YOU'RE
LOOKING AT A TIGGLE OR A TAGGLE.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THEY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
(critter noises)
Oscar says BUT WE CAN USE A CHART TO SEE
IF THERE ARE ANY DIFFERENCES.
THEY BOTH HAVE
SIX EYES,
FOUR LEGS,
TWO ARMS...
HOLD ON.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ANTENNAE,
THE TIGGLE HAS TWO ANTENNAE
BUT A TAGGLE HAS THREE.
THAT'S HOW THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
SINCE THIS MONSTER
HAS TWO ANTENNAE,
THAT MAKES HIM
A TIGGLE.
WHICH IS QUITE FORTUNATE,
BECAUSE IF IT WAS A TAGGLE,
IT WOULD'VE EATEN ME BY NOW.
Oscar says NOT THIS GUY.
HE'S ADORABLE.
The tiggle purrs.
Oscar says THE OTHER WAY TO FIND OUT
IS TO ASK THEM TO SING.
TIGGLE HAS
A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
(beautiful singing voice)
Oscar says BUT A TAGGLE HAS
A HORRIBLE VOICE.
The taggle sings.
(obnoxious, loud braying)
Oscar says THEY'RE BOTH
EXCELLENT DANCERS.
He joins the creatures in their dance.
In her office, Miss O shows a video game and says THERE YOU ARE.
SOMETHING VERY ODD HAS HAPPENED.
YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU,
WITH THE RECENT HAIRCUT.
IT LOOKS GREAT.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
THESE CUTE, FUZZY CREATURES
ARE CALLED CENTIGURPS,
AND ODD SQUAD HEADQUARTERS
IS FULL OF THEM!
HELP US CAPTURE
ALL THE CENTIGURPS
SO WE CAN GET BACK
TO SOLVING CASES.
GO TO TVOKIDS.COM
TO JOIN ODD SQUAD
AND HELP US CATCH
THE CENTIGURPS.
ODD SQUAD NEEDS YOU!

Andrea says HI, EVERYONE.
WELCOME BACK.
SO I HOPE YOU GOT TO WORK
A LITTLE BIT ON THE CHALLENGE
AS TO HOW MANY QUARTERS, HOW
MANY DIMES, AND HOW MANY NICKELS
YOU WOULD NEED
TO GIVE YOU TWO DOLLARS.
SO, LET'S DO
A LITTLE BIT OF REVIEW AGAIN.
SO, WHEN WE ORIGINALLY
POSTED THAT QUESTION,
WE WORKED ON THE TOONIE
AND THE LOONIE TOGETHER.
SO, IF WE GET TWO DOLLARS,
THE COMBINATION OF TOONIES
WE WOULD GET IS ONE.
'CAUSE ONE TOONIE
IS TWO DOLLARS.
AND, WE ALSO CAME UP TOGETHER
THAT IF WE HAD LOONIES,
THEN WE WOULD NEED TWO LOONIES,
BECAUSE TWO LOONIES
IS ALSO TWO DOLLARS.
NOW, THE NEXT SET OF QUESTIONS
ARE THE QUESTIONS
I ASKED YOU TO WORK ON.
HOW MANY QUARTERS WOULD
WE NEED TO GET TWO DOLLARS?
SO HOW MANY QUARTERS
WOULD THAT BE?
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A MOMENT TO THINK.
COUNT UP THE QUARTERS THAT
YOU DREW AND WHAT DID YOU GET?
IF YOU SAID EIGHT,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
FOUR QUARTERS EQUALS A DOLLAR.
SO, THEREFORE,
EIGHT QUARTERS IS TWO DOLLARS.
SO, WE WOULD NEED EIGHT QUARTERS
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
LET'S DRAW
EIGHT QUARTERS TOGETHER.
She draws the coins and continues AND THERE WE HAVE
OUR EIGHT QUARTERS.
SO, EIGHT QUARTERS
GIVES US TWO DOLLARS.
NOW, HOW MANY DIMES
WOULD WE NEED FOR TWO DOLLARS?
QUITE A FEW I THINK.
SO, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A SECOND TO COUNT THEM UP HERE.
HOW MANY DIMES DO YOU NEED?
IF YOU SAID 20 DIMES,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE WOULD NEED 20 DIMES
TO HAVE TWO DOLLARS.
HOW MANY DIMES DID I DRAW HERE?
LET'S COUNT JUST TO SEE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, 10.
SO, I DREW 10 DIMES.
THAT GIVES US ONE DOLLAR.
WELL, I NEED TWO DOLLARS.
SO HOW MANY MORE DIMES
DO I NEED TO DRAW?
IF YOU SAID 10 MORE,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
LET'S STOP HERE
AND SEE HOW MANY I DREW
JUST TO MAKE SURE
I DREW ENOUGH,
OR I DIDN'T DRAW TOO MANY.
ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX,
SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10.
SO THAT'S ONE DOLLAR.
I NEED TO DRAW 10 MORE DIMES.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.
THAT'S 80 CENTS.
I'M A LITTLE SHORT.
HOW MANY MORE DIMES
DO I NEED TO DRAW?
THAT'S RIGHT.
TWO MORE DIMES.
AND THERE WE HAVE IT.
20 DIMES.
20 DIMES WOULD
GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
NOW, YOU MIGHT START TO SEE
THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF A PATTERN HERE.
AS THE VALUE
OF OUR MONEY GETS SMALLER,
WE NEED MORE OF THE COINS
TO GIVE US THE SAME AMOUNT.
WE ONLY NEEDED ONE TOONIE
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS,
TWO LOONIES
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS,
EIGHT QUARTERS
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS,
AND 20 DIMES
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
SO, HOW MANY NICKELS
DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT NEED
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS?
MORE THAN 20?
YES, BECAUSE A NICKEL IS ONLY
WORTH HALF AS MUCH AS A DIME.
SO WE NEED DOUBLE THAT.
SO, WE NEED, IF YOU SAID 40,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE WOULD NEED 40 NICKELS
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
LET'S GET DRAWING.
LET'S SEE
HOW MANY NICKELS WE DREW.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, 10.
SO, I DREW 10 NICKELS.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HOW MANY
NICKELS WE NEEDED TO DRAW
TO GET TWO DOLLARS?
40.
SO, IF I DREW 10, THAT MEANS
I NEED TO DRAW 30 MORE NICKELS.
LET'S KEEP DRAWING.
OKAY, WE HAVE 20 NICKELS.
WE'RE HALFWAY THERE.
20 MORE TO GO.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE.
10, 20, 30.
30 NICKELS.
10 MORE.
OUR LAST 10.
LET'S SEE HOW MANY I DREW
AT THE BOTTOM LINE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.
TWO MORE NICKELS.
AND THERE WE GO!
40 NICKELS.
40 NICKELS EQUALS TWO DOLLARS.
SO, LET'S GO BACK
AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF A REVIEW.
WHAT COMBINATION OF COINS
WOULD GIVE YOU TWO DOLLARS?
WELL, WE COULD HAVE ONE TOONIE.
THAT WOULD GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
TWO LOONIES, THAT WOULD
ALSO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
EIGHT QUARTERS
WOULD GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
20 DIMES WOULD ALSO
GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
AND FINALLY,
IF WE DREW OUT 40 NICKELS,
THAT WOULD ALSO
GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
WOW.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW, BEFORE
I HAVE TO SAY BYE TO YOU,
I HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
THERE IS A NEW COIN THAT
THE CANADIAN MINT IS CREATING
AND IT'S WORTH 50 CENTS.
MY QUESTION TO YOU,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS
AND BE CREATIVE HERE.
WHAT WOULD YOU NAME
THIS 50 CENT COIN?
SO, WE ALREADY HAVE A TOONIE,
A LOONIE, A QUARTER,
A NICKEL AND A DIME.
WHAT SHOULD WE NAME
THIS NEW 50 CENT COIN?
She concludes TAKE SOME TIME
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
SHARE IT WITH YOUR PARTNER.
SHARE IT WITH YOUR CLASSMATES,
OR SOMEONE ELSE AT YOUR HOME,
AND LET'S COME UP WITH
SOME VERY CREATIVE NAMES.
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU
FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
IT WAS SUCH A JOY TO SEE
ALL OF YOU AND BE WITH YOU.
MY NAME IS TEACHER ANDREA,
AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE YOU ALL OF YOU AGAIN
AT THE NEXT
POWER HOUR.
BYE FOR NOW!
(music plays)
A final slate reads "TVO Kids would like to thank all the teachers involved in the Power Hour of Learning as they continue to teach the children of Ontario from their homes."
The caption changes to "Copyright 2021. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority."
A Female Announcer says WELCOME TO TVO KIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S PRIMARY LESSON: CANADIAN
MONEY: OUR COINS AND
CANADIAN SYMBOLS.
A caption reads "Primary I-3. Teacher Andrea." Andrea is in her late twenties, with long black hair. She wears a black jacket over a blue shirt and headphones.
Standing next to a whiteboard with a list, Andrea says HI, EVERYONE.
WELCOME.
MY NAME IS TEACHER ANDREA
AND I'M SO HAPPY
YOU COULD BE HERE TODAY,
BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE
INVESTIGATING CANADIAN COINS.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I WANTED
TO GO OVER THE LEARNING GOALS
AND THE SUCCESS
CRITERIA WITH YOU.
She turns and points to the whiteboard.
She says SO, TODAY,
WE ARE LEARNING TO ANALYZE
THE PURPOSE OF CANADIAN MONEY.
WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE
THE VALUE OF CANADIAN MONEY.
WE'RE GONNA COMBINE
A VARIETY OF COINS TO PRODUCE
A SET AMOUNT OF MONEY
UP TO 200 CENTS, OR, 2.00 DOLLARS.
AND YOU'LL KNOW
YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO IDENTIFY THE VALUE
OF ALL CANADIAN COINS,
AND COUNT THE TOTAL VALUE OF
VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF COINS
UP TO 200 CENTS.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO ASK YOURSELF,
"WHY DO WE NEED MONEY?"
THINK ABOUT THIS
FOR A FEW MINUTES
AND PERHAPS YOU WANNA
JOT DOWN YOUR ANSWERS
ON A PIECE OF PAPER, OR SHARE
YOUR ANSWERS WITH A PARTNER.
AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS,
"WHAT DO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY
BUY WITH MONEY?"
AGAIN, YOU MIGHT WANNA SHARE
YOUR ANSWERS WITH A PARTNER,
OR PERHAPS JOT THEM DOWN
ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
NOW, LET'S BEGIN
WITH THE CANADA CREW.
MO, BEBE, AND GAVIN
ARE VISITING THE CANADIAN
CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE,
AS WELL AS TAKING A LOOK AT
WHAT MOE HAS IN HIS PIGGY BANK.
OVER TO YOU, CANADA CREW.
A puppet show rolls.
In the dam, Mo the Moose is about to smash the piggy bank open.
Bebe the Beaver says MO, MO, MO!
WHAT ARE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING!?!
Mo says BEBE...
I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO SMASH OPEN MY
PIGGY BANK!
Bebe says BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT
WHYYYYY???
Mo says BECAUSE I WANT
TO SEE HOW MUCH
I'VE SAVED.
Bebe says OH.
COOL.
Mo says HM.
OKAY NOW STAND BACK
'CAUSE HERE I...
The hammer head gets loose and flies away.
Mo says GO?
TIME FOR PLAN B!
Mo lifts up a big rock with a rope.
(GRUNTING)
Bebe says JUST
A LITTLE
HIGHER...
A LITTLE BIT
HIGHER...
OKAY I THINK THAT
SHOULD DO IT.
LET 'ER RIP MO!
Mo says AHHHHH!
Mo lets go of the rope but the rock won't break the piggy bank.
Bebe says WHOA!
THAT'S ONE STRONG
PIGGY BANK!
Mo says YEAH.
Bebe says HOW WILL WE EVER
GET IT OPEN?
(GRUNTS) HUH!
Mo takes the stopper off and says WHADDAYA KNOW!
HUH!
THERE'S A HOLE IN IT!
Bebe and Mo say HAHAHAHA!
The name of the show appears in red along with a maple leave and the three members of the Canada Crew against a post card with an image of mountains by a lake.
The name of the show reads "The Canada Crew."
The name of the episode reads "Canadian Money."
The song goes NOVA SCOTIA,
P.E.I., NEW BRUNSWICK,
NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR, QUEBEC,
ONTARIO, MANITOBA
AND THERE ARE MORE.
B.C, ALBERTA, SASKATCHEWAN,
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES,
NUNAVUT, YUKON.
BEBE, MO AND GAVIN
WE'RE THE CANADA CREW
LET'S GO EXPLORE
CANADA TOO!
CANADA CREW!
Mo says OKAY!
TIME TO COUNT THE MONEY!
Bebe sings TIME TO COUNT,
COUNT, COUNT THE
MONEY!
COUNT, COUNT,
COUNT THE MONEY!
Mo says YOU DONE?
Bebe says NOT YET.
WHAT'S THAT YOU

TIME TO COUNT,
COUNT, COUNT THE
MONEY!!!
OKAY, I'M GOOD.
Mo says OKAY, THANK YOU.
SO, I'VE SORTED
EACH TYPE OF
COIN INTO PILES
TO MAKE COUNTING
THEM EASIER!
Bebe says UH-HUM.
Mo says SO HERE WE HAVE THE
NICKELS WHICH ARE
WORTH 5 CENTS.
Bebe says OH, NICKELS ARE
MY ALL TIME
FAVOURITES!!!
BETCHYA' CAN'T
GUESS WHY MO!
BETCHYA' CAN'T?
Mo says HMMM, THAT'S
A TOUGHIE.
UH, COULD

HAVE BEAVERS ON THEM?
Bebe says WHOA, YOU'RE GOOD.
Mo says YEAH!
HUH!
HAHA!
MO:OVER HERE, WE HAVE THE DIMES
WHICH ARE WORTH 10 CENTS EACH!
WE KNOW
THEY'RE DIMES
BECAUSE THEY
HAVE THE BIG,
SAILBOAT ON THEM
CALLED THE 'BLUENOSE.'
A caption reads "Fun fact."
Mo says THE BLUENOSE
WAS BUILT ALMOST 100 YEARS
AGO AND WAS ONE OF CANADA'S
FASTEST RACING SAIL BOATS!
Bebe says OH... .
AND THOSE ONES
ARE THE QUARTERS!
Mo says HUH, THAT'S RIGHT!
QUARTERS ARE
WORTH 25
CENTS EACH!
Bebe says IS THAT A
MOOSE ON THE QUARTER MO?
Mo says IT LOOKS LIKE A MOOSE,
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CARIBOU...
WHICH IS KINDA
LIKE A MOOSE!
YEAH.
Bebe says HUH.
WHAT ARE THOSE
GOLDEN-LOOKING
ONES?
Mo says OHHHH,
THOSE ARE
ONE DOLLAR COINS.
CANADIANS CALL THEM "LOONIES."
BECAUSE THERE'S A LOON ON THEM.
A LOON IS A BIRD.
AND FINALLY...
Bebe says UH-HUH?...
Mo says THE 2
DOLLAR COIN.
GOLDEN ON
THE INSIDE AND
SILVERY ON THE
OUTSIDE... ALSO KNOWN
AS THE "TOONIE."
Bebe says A TOONIE?
Mo says HMMM.
Bebe says WELL WHY ARE
THEY CALLED THAT?
Mo says WELL, BECAUSE
IT'S WORTH 2
DOLLARS.
HMMM.
TWO?
TOONIE?
GET IT?
Bebe says LOONIE?
TOONIE?
WE SURE HAVE SOME
FUNNY NAMES FOR OUR
MONEY IN CANADA!
Mo says YEAH.
(GOOSE SOUND)
Bebe says HA!
YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT SOUND MEANS!
GAVIN'S CALLING!
Mo says OH, I WONDER WHERE
HE'S CALLING FROM
TODAY?
Mo picks up the tablet, answers the call and says HA!
YEAH.
On videocall, Gavin the goose says HEY YOU TWO!
WHATCHYA UP TO TODAY?
Bebe says WE'RE COUNTING
ALL THE COINS IN
MO'S PIGGY BANK!
Mo says HUH-HMM.
Gavin says OHHHH!
WHAT LUCK!
I HAPPEN TO BE VISITING
A COIN STORE TODAY!
Mo says UH, WHAT'S
A COIN STORE?
Gavin says IT'S A PLACE THAT
HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF COINS!
I'LL TURN ON MY HELMET CAM
SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.
Mo says OH-HO-HO-HO-HO!
COOL!
LOOK AT ALL THOSE COINS!
Bebe says SO SHINY!
Gavin says AND THIS IS STEVEN!
HE'S THE OWNER
OF THIS PLACE!
Steven says HEY YOU TWO!
Steven has short wavy brown hair and wears a pale blue shirt.
Bebe says HI STEVEN!
I DIDN'T REALISE
WERE SO MANY COINS.
Mo says YEAH!
Steven says MOST OF THESE
ARE "COMMEMORATIVES,"
WHICH MEANS THEY
WERE MADE ESPECIALLY
FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE
TO COLLECT COINS!
Steven shows a coin and says TAKE THIS ONE FOR
EXAMPLE: IT CELEBRATES
THE FIFTIETH YEAR SINCE
OUT FLAG WAS INTRODUCED.
Mo says COOL!
WELL HOW ARE COINS
MADE STEVEN?
Steven says COINS ARE MADE AT
A PLACE CALLED A "MINT."
WHERE BIG SHEETS OF METAL
GO THROUGH A MACHINE,
THEY PUNCH OUT THE CIRCLES
AND THEN THEY PRESS THEM
TO ADD THE WORDS, THE
NUMBERS AND THE LETTERS.
Bebe says WELL, WHY DO WE
EVEN NEED MONEY?
Mo says YEAH?
Steven says WITHOUT MONEY,
YOU COULDN'T BUY ALL THE
THINGS YOU
NEED AND WANT.
Mo says YOU MEAN LIKE,
LIKE FOOD AND
CLOTHING?
Steven says EXACTLY!
THOSE ARE THINGS
YOU NEED.
Bebe says WELL WHAT
ABOUT TOYS?
Steven says THOSE ARE THINGS
YOU DON'T REALLY NEED,
BUT YOU WANT; AND YES, YOU
NEED MONEY FOR THOSE TOO.
Bebe says UM, GAMES?
Steven says YUP.
Mo says AIR?
Steven says NO.
THAT'S FREE.
Bebe says SUNSHINE?
Steven says ALSO FREE.
Bebe says GOOD TO KNOW.
THANKS FOR
TALKING WITH US!
Mo says HAHAHAHA.
Steven says MY PLEASURE!
Gavin says WELL, THAT'S ALL
FOR ME TODAY YOU TWO.
I'VE HAD MY EYE ON A SPECIAL
EDITION CANADIAN GOOSE COIN
I JUST HAVE TO HAVE
IN MY COLLECTION.
I JUST NEED TO GRAB SOME COINS
FROM MY POCKET AND I'LL OOPS!
WOHA!
Gavin drops all the coins from their pocket and says OOPS!
WINGS ARE DEFINITELY
NOT MADE FOR HOLDING COINS.
HAHA!
TALK SOON!
Gavin picks up the coins and says UH, OK... ..
ONE, TWO...
Bebe says SEE YA' GAVIN!
Mo says HM, BYE GAVIN!
HA!
Bebe says SO WHAT ARE YOU

Mo says NOPE!
Bebe says OH!

ACTION FIGURE!
Mo says BETTER THAN THAT!
Bebe closes their eyes.
(GIGGLING)
Mo says YOU READY?
Bebe says YUP!
Mo says OKAY!

AHHHHHHH... .
Bebe says ANTLER COZIES?
Mo says OH, YOU KNOW,
TO KEEP MY
ANTLERS WARM!
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Bebe says THEY LOOK
VERY AHHHHHH...
COZY!
In animation, Canadian provinces appear as the song names them, completing the map of Canada.
The song says NOVA SCOTIA,
P.E.I., NEW BRUNSWICK,
NEWFOUNDLAND AND
LABRADOR, QUEBEC,

TERRITORIES THREE
The end credits roll.
Andrea says WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.
LET'S REVIEW SOME OF THE COINS
THAT BEBE AND MO FOUND
WHEN THEY OPENED UP
MO'S PIGGY BANK.
She points to a two-column table on the whiteboard.
She says NOW, I PRINTED OUT
THE CANADIAN COINS,
BUT YOU MIGHT CHOOSE
TO USE REAL CANADIAN COINS,
OR ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN
DRAW OUT THE COINS YOURSELF.
NOW, IF YOU REMEMBER
FROM THE VIDEO,
THIS WAS BEBE'S FAVOURITE COIN.
An animated 5 cents coin appears.
She continues IT HAS A BEAVER ON IT.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE NAME?
IF YOU SAID "NICKEL,"
YOU'RE CORRECT.
AS MO MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO,
THIS COIN HAS
THE BLUENOSE SHIP ON IT,
WHICH IS A SHIP THAT IS
OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER
THE NAME OF THIS COIN?
IF YOU SAID "DIME,"
YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
She writes the coin names in the first column.
She says THIS COIN HERE
IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR A MOOSE,
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CARIBOU.
THIS COIN IS CALLED?
QUARTER.
NOW, THIS GOLD-COLOURED
COIN RIGHT HERE,
NAMED FOR THE BIRD ON THE COIN,
THE LOON, IS CALLED A LOONIE.
AND OUR LAST COIN
HAS A POLAR BEAR ON IT.
BECAUSE IT'S WORTH TWO DOLLARS,
YOU GUESSED RIGHT.
IT'S CALLED A TOONIE.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW, LET'S JOIN TUMBLEWEED
THE HAMSTER AS HE LOOKS TO USE
HIS PIGGY BANK SAVINGS
TO BUY A CRATE OF SEEDS.
OVER TO YOU, TUMBLEWEED.
(music plays)
A red book with a hamster on the cover appears against a background in which a castle can be seen.
Tumbleweed says TUMBLETOWN TALES!
STARRING ME,
TUMBLEWEED.
The red book opens. A popup castle comes up, and inside the castle Tumbleweed sits in a room.
Tumbleweed says I SHOULD PROBABLY DO
SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS MAIL.
LET'S SEE.
NEWSPAPER, BILL, JUNK MAIL.
OH, A POSTCARD FROM AUNT GUSSY.
I'LL KEEP THAT FOR LATER.
LET'S SEE, BILL, BILL.
FLYERS!
I LOVE FLYERS!
WHOA, A WHOLE CRATE OF SEEDS
FOR ONLY TWO DOLLARS!
EUREKA!
IT'S MY LUCKY DAY.
I HOPE I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
SAVED UP IN MY GUINEA PIG BANK.
COME ON, GUINEA PIG BANK!
DON'T FAIL ME NOW.
OKAY, HERE WE GO.
MOMENT OF TRUTH.
AND, HI-YAH!
Tumbleweed drops his pig bank to the floor and it breaks.
Tumbleweed says HA-HA!
I'M RICH!
AND IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE ENOUGH
NICKELS SAVED UP FOR THE SALE.
Down the street, Tumbleweed sings GOING TO THE STORE
GOT MY 40 NICKELS
FOR THE CRATE
DOOBIE-DOOBIE
DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO
THESE ARE HEAVY.
Now, on a deck, Tumbleweed says OKAY, ALL MY NICKELS
ARE IN THE BOAT HERE
ALL PACKED UP AND READY TO GO.
AND NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS
TAKE THE BOAT TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND I WILL GET...
HEY!
MY BOAT IS SINKING!
MY BOAT IS SINK...SINKING.
MY BOAT SANK.
IT SANK.
MY BOAT SANK.
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Sea Captain appears on a boat. He is a white hamster.
Sea Captain says HEY, HEY, FUZZY FACE!
MY BUDDY, WHAT'S HAPPENIN', MAN?
Tumbleweed says MY BOAT SANK.
Sea Captain says WHAT?
HOW COME?
Tumbleweed says WELL, I PUT 40 NICKELS IN IT
BECAUSE I WAS GONNA
BUY A CRATE OF SEEDS
AND THEN IT SANK JUST LIKE THAT!
Sea Captain says MAN, 40 NICKELS IS WAY TOO MUCH
FOR SUCH A LITTLE BOAT!
WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST TAKE A TWO DOLLAR COIN?
Tumbleweed says A TWO DOLLAR COIN?
BUT THAT'S ONLY ONE COIN.
Sea Captain says IT'S NOT ABOUT
THE QUANTITY OF COINS.
IT'S ABOUT HOW MUCH
THE COINS ARE WORTH.
Tumbleweed says REALLY?
Sea Captain says OF COURSE!
TELL ME THIS.
HOW MANY NICKELS
ARE IN A TWO DOLLAR COIN?
Tumbleweed says IT'S, UH, WELL, I NEEDED
TWO DOLLARS FOR MY CRATE.
AND THEN I COUNTED MY 40 NICKELS
AND THAT ADDED UP
TO TWO DOLLARS.
SO, 40 NICKELS.
Sea Captain says SO THERE YOU GO.
ONE TWO DOLLAR COIN
IS WORTH THE SAME AS 40 NICKELS
AND IT'S EASIER TO CARRY.
Tumbleweed says I GET IT.
INSTEAD OF CARRYING 40 NICKELS,
I CAN JUST BRING
ONE TWO DOLLAR COIN
'CAUSE IT'S WORTH 40 NICKELS.
THAT'S EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Sea Captain says NO PROBLEM, MAN.
NOW, I SUPPOSE YOU WANT ME TO
PULL YOUR BOAT OUT OF THE WATER?
Tumbleweed says YEAH, COULD YOU?
AND WHAT ABOUT MY NICKELS?
Sea Captain says FOR ALL THAT WORK
I'M KEEPING THE NICKELS.
Tumbleweed says OH, OKAY, THAT SEEMS FAIR.
SEE YA LATER!
Sea Captain says MAN, WHEN IS HE
EVER GOING TO LEARN?
Tumbleweed says IT'S A GOOD THING I FOUND
A TWO DOLLAR COIN UNDER MY COUCH
TO BUY THOSE SEEDS.
I DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT SALE.
THIS IS MUCH EASIER TO CARRY.
HEY, SEA CAPTAIN!
Tumbleweed says HEY, FUZZY FACE!
Tumbleweed is on his way to the store.
Tumbleweed says PLAN IS STILL ON TRACK
GONNA GO TO THE STORE
AND BUY SOME SEEDS
HEY!
PLEASE!
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE
A CRATE OF SEEDS LEFT.
Cashier says UH, WE'VE GOT ONE LEFT.
Tumbleweed laughs and says I HAVE A WHOLE CRATE OF SEEDS!
THERE WE GO.
MY PRECIOUS CRATE OF SEEDS.
Tumbleweed loads the crate into his boat.
Tumbleweed says OH, IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD WHEN
I GET YOU BACK TO THE CASTLE
AND THEN I CAN EAT YOU ALL UP.
AND THEN...
OH, NO!
NO, NO, MY BOAT!
MY BOAT SANK!
IT SANK!
THE SEEDS MUST'VE BEEN
TOO HEAVY FOR IT.
I-I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT.
YOU THINK I WOULD'VE
LEARNED THAT LESSON BY NOW,
BUT, UH, UGH,
I GUESS...I GUESS...
I WONDER
IF THEY'LL STILL TASTE GOOD
EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE WET.
YOU KNOW, THE NEXT TIME
I HAVE TWO DOLLARS,
I THINK I'M GONNA BUY A BETTER
BOAT TRAILER BECAUSE THIS ONE...
THIS ONE WON'T HOLD ANYTHING.
IT'S ALWAYS SINKING.
The TVO Kids logo appears.
Andrea says WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.
FOR OUR NEXT TASK,
WE HAVE A GROUP OF COINS.
NOW, I PRINTED OUT
THE IMAGES OF THE COINS,
BUT YOU CAN USE
REAL CANADIAN COINS,
OR YOU CAN DRAW THEM YOURSELF.
ONCE YOU HAVE
YOUR GROUP OF COINS,
LET'S TAKE A LOOK,
AND WE'LL USE THIS
AS OUR SAMPLE THIS TIME AROUND
OF HOW MANY WE HAVE
OF EACH SPECIFIC COIN.
LET'S START OFF WITH
OUR LARGEST COIN, THE TOONIE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE
I HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, TOONIES.
NOW, AS WE COMPLETE
THIS TASK TOGETHER,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SHARE
YOUR IDEAS ALOUD WITH A FRIEND,
OR JOT DOWN YOUR ANSWERS
ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
NEXT, LET'S GO TO OUR LOONIE.
THIS IS THE COIN
WITH THE LOON BIRD ON IT,
THE GOLD COLOURED ONE.
WE HAVE ONE, TWO, LOONIES.
She writes the amount of coins.
She continues DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE COIN
THAT HAS THE CARIBOU ON IT?
IF YOU SAID "QUARTER,"
YOU'RE RIGHT.
HOW MANY QUARTERS DO WE HAVE?
IT LOOKS LIKE
WE HAVE JUST ONE QUARTER.
TAKE A LOOK.
HOW MANY DIMES
DO YOU THINK WE HAVE?
I'LL GIVE YOU A SECOND HERE.
IF YOU SAID ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR DIMES, YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND WHAT WAS THE NAME
OF OUR LAST COIN AGAIN?
THE NICKEL!
HOW MANY NICKELS DO WE HAVE?
LET'S COUNT THEM OUT.
ONE, TWO.
TWO NICKELS.
EXCELLENT WORK, EVERYONE.
NOW, LET'S REVIEW ON WHAT KINDS
OF COINS WE ENDED UP WITH.
IN OUR GROUP OF COINS,
WE ENDED UP WITH THREE TOONIES,
TWO LOONIES,
ONE QUARTER, FOUR DIMES
AND TWO NICKELS.
NOW, I WANT YOU
TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
GRAB A HANDFUL OF COINS, WHETHER
IT'S REAL CANADIAN COINS,
WHAT I DID,
PRINT-OUT IMAGES OF COINS,
OR DRAW THE COINS YOURSELF.
YOU CAN USE CHART PAPER,
A COMPUTER,
OR YOU CAN SHARE WITH A PARTNER.
HOW MANY OF EACH COIN DID YOU
GET IN YOUR HANDFUL OF COINS?
HOW MANY TOONIES?
HOW MANY LOONIES?
HOW MANY QUARTERS?
HOW MANY DIMES?
AND HOW MANY NICKELS?
NOW, LET'S MEET TEACHER TROY AS
HE GIVES US SOME TIPS ON MONEY.
(soft music plays)
Troy stands next to a gray chalkboard showing math signs, different coins and a colourful logo that reads "TVOKids Home Work Zone." He is in her early thirties, clean-shaven and bald. He wears a blue T-shirt and a watch.
He says HEY GUYS, IT'S
TEACHER TROY HERE WITH SOME
HOMEWORK HELP.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT MATH AND MONEY BUT
SPECIFICALLY WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALK ABOUT CHANGE AND DEALING
WITH ONE DOLLAR.
IF WE LOOK AT IT, A DOLLAR HERE
IN CANADA IS CALLED A LOONY AND
WE USED TO, HOPEFULLY YOU'RE
USED TO CARRYING AT LEAST A GOLD
COIN IN YOUR POCKET EVER SO
OFTEN.
He points to a large golden coin and continues BUT WHAT IS THIS DOLLAR REALLY
REPRESENT?
THIS IS A PENNY.
IMAGINE HAVING 100 OF THESE IN
YOUR POCKET.
YOU'D BEEN WALKING AROUND,
IMAGINE HOW MUCH NOISE YOU'D
MAKE.
DO WHAT THEY'VE DONE, IS THEY'VE
MADE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COINS TO
HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW MONEY
WORKS.
SO THIS LOONY RIGHT HERE IS
WORTH 100 OF THESE.
OKAY, SO NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO
CARRY A 100 OF THESE AROUND SO
WHAT THEY DID IS THEY MADE OTHER
UNITS OF OTHER TYPES OF COINS.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE THE
QUARTER AND A QUARTER IS WORTH
25 CENTS.
SO NOW INSTEAD OF CARRYING 25 OF
THESE YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE
OF THESE.
SO NOW IF WE LOOK AT IT, 25 PLUS
25 PLUS 25 PLUS 25, GIVES US A
DOLLAR.
SO NOW WE HAVE FOUR QUARTERS.
WE CAN ALSO BREAK IT DOWN EVEN
FURTHER, WHERE WE HAVE WHAT'S
CALLED A DIME AND A DIME IS NOW,
THE 10 ON THERE MEANS 10 CENTS
AND PENNY IS ONE CENT SO WE KNOW
THAT EACH ONE OF THESE HAS 10.
SO WITH 10 DIMES - ONE, TWO,
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, TEN, GIVES US THE
SAME AS A LOONY.
AND OF COURSE CAN YOU IMAGINE
HOW MANY NICKELS WE NEED TO
HAVE?
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND THAT, WHEN YOU'RE
CARRYING MONEY AROUND YOU CAN
MIX AND MATCH THESE TO MAKE
DIFFERENT VALUES SO OF COURSE WE
ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW
THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CHANGE AS
POSSIBLE BUT AND THE OTHER
CHANGE YOU DO HAVE JUST PUT IT
IN A JAR OR SOMETHING AND SAVE
IT.
BUT THAT'S JUST TO UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU KNOW ALL OF THESE WORK
TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU A GOOD
VALUE WITH, WE'LL START WITH OUR
DOLLAR BEING OUR NUMBER ONE AND
EVERYTHING ELSE BREAKS DOWN FROM
THAT.
THAT'S TEACHER TROY WITH SOME
HELP ON MONEY.
Andrea says WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE.
LET'S PRACTISE
SOME OF THE NEW LEARNING
THAT TEACHER TROY TAUGHT US
IN THAT PREVIOUS VIDEO.
She turns and points to a two-column table. The first column shows coins, the second column is empty.
She continues AS TEACHER TROY
LOOKED AT THE COINS,
HE ASSIGNED
A VALUE TO EACH COIN.
SO LET'S DO A LITTLE BIT
OF A REVIEW TOGETHER.
THE TWO DOLLAR COIN,
THE WORD "THE TOONIE,"
IS WORTH TWO DOLLARS.
WHAT ABOUT
THAT GOLD COLOURED COIN
THAT HAS THE LOON BIRD ON IT?
IT'S CALLED A LOONIE.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER
WHAT IT'S WORTH?
IF YOU SAID ONE DOLLAR,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND THIS QUARTER RIGHT HERE THAT
HAS THE CARIBOU ON IT?
WHAT IS IT WORTH?
25 CENTS.
AND HOW ABOUT THE BLUENOSE SHIP,
THE SMALLEST
OF THE COINS, THE DIME?
10 CENTS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND OUR LAST COIN, THE COIN WITH
THE BEAVER ON IT, THE NICKEL?
FIVE CENTS.
She completes the second column.
She continues NOW THAT YOU KNOW
THE NAMES OF THE COINS,
AND THE VALUES OF THE COINS,
LET'S GO BACK
TO OUR PREVIOUS ACTIVITY
WHERE WE HAD
THAT GROUP OF COINS.
LET'S FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH NOW
THE VALUE
OF ALL THOSE COINS WERE.
IF WE DO
A LITTLE BIT OF A REVIEW,
REMEMBER, THIS GROUP OF COINS
HAD THREE TOONIES,
TWO LOONIES, ONE QUARTER,
FOUR DIMES, AND TWO NICKELS.
NOW, A TOONIE, IF WE REMEMBER,
IS WORTH TWO DOLLARS.
BUT WE HAVE
THREE OF THOSE TOONIES.
SO IF WE HAVE
THREE OF THOSE TOONIES,
WE HAVE TWO DOLLARS,
PLUS TWO DOLLARS,
PLUS TWO DOLLARS.
TAKE A MOMENT
TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
TWO, PLUS TWO, PLUS TWO.
IF YOU SAID "SIX DOLLARS,"
YOU'RE CORRECT.
NOW, IN OUR GROUP OF COINS, WE
HAD TWO LOONIES.
EACH LOONIE
IS WORTH ONE DOLLAR.
IF WE HAVE TWO OF THOSE LOONIES,
IT MEANS WE HAVE ONE DOLLAR,
PLUS ONE DOLLAR.
SO, ALL TOGETHER
WE HAVE TWO DOLLARS.
OUR GROUP OF COINS
WE FOUND WE HAD ONE QUARTER.
ONE QUARTER IS WORTH 25 CENTS.
FOUR DIMES,
WHERE EACH DIME IS WORTH...
DO YOU REMEMBER?
10 CENTS.
THAT MEANS WE HAVE 10 CENTS,
PLUS 10 CENTS, PLUS 10 CENTS,
PLUS 10 CENTS.
FOUR 10 CENTS.
THAT MEANS IN DIMES
WE HAVE 40 CENTS.
NOW, WE HAVE TWO NICKELS AND
EACH NICKEL IS WORTH FIVE CENTS.
FIVE CENTS,
PLUS FIVE CENTS, EQUALS?
YOU GOT IT!
10 CENTS.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW, GO BACK
TO THAT HANDFUL OF COINS
THAT YOU CREATED FOR YOURSELF.
USING THE SAME METHOD
THAT WE USED,
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THAT GROUP
OF COINS THAT YOU COLLECTED?
GREAT WORK FIGURING OUT THE
VALUE OF OUR SET OF COINS.
NOW, LET'S GO TO AN EPISODE
OF
LET'S FIND OUT: MONEYPALOOZA.
(music plays)
The show opens with two girls and a boy pointing at the camera and saying the show title.
A slate appears for each word inside a speech bubble against a background of colourful pixels.
Then, the speech bubbles show the names of the characters.
Melissa is in her twenties and has long, straight, brown hair with bangs. She wears a pink knitted hat, a red shirt, a white jacket, and black pants.
Shamus is in his twenties and has short, black hair. He wears a black fedora, black glasses, a plaid shirt with a blue bow-tie, and red pants.
Ruth is in her thirties and has medium-length blonde hair with bangs. She wears a light-blue ensemble of sportswear.
In the kitchen, Melissa says MONEY-PALOOZA IS THIS
AWESOME NEW GAME WHERE
YOU RACE TO COUNT MONEY.
I JUST PLAYED RUTH, AND
THINGS GOT A LITTLE CRAZY.
(music plays)
Pictures of her and Ruth with money on their hands appear.
A speech bubble with Shamus' picture reads WELL, I JUST
WON AGAINST MY SIX YEAR OLD
COUSIN SO I FEEL PRETTY
UNSTOPPABLE!
Melissa says OH!
THAT'S
MY
LINE.
As Melissa types in her tablet, speech bubble displays what she says, which reads ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME
TO A GAME OF MONEY-PALOOZA?
Shamus says YES, MY
PLACE RIGHT NOW.
Melissa says THEN I ACCEPT
YOUR CHALLENGE,
AND I WILL
RISE TO IT.
She almost falls off a stool and says OH!
NOT SAFE,
NOT SAFE.
I'M GOING TO BAIL.
I'M JUST GOING TO BAIL.
TO SHAMUS' HOUSE, TO
PLAY MONEY-PALOOZA!
She runs to Shamus' house.
Melissa says HEY, SHAMUS.
Shamus says HEY, MELISSA.
ARE YOU READY
TO SEE WHO HAS
THE BEST
COUNTING SKILLS?
Melissa says YOU BET I AM.
AND WHEN I WANT TO
FIND SOMETHING OUT,
She screams I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
Shamus says RIGHT, OKAY, I'VE
DIVIDED THE MONEY UP.
Melissa says MONEY!
Shamus says NOW, I'LL DRAW THE
FIRST MONEY CHALLENGE.
Melissa says MONEY CHALLENGE.
Shamus turns over a card and says HERE IT IS.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
IT SAYS BIG SCHOOL
PROJECT SUPPLIES.
14.55 DOLLARS.
Melissa says WHOEVER COUNTS THE
MONEY THE FASTEST WINS.
Shamus says READY?
Melissa says SET.
They both say GO!
Melissa says I CAN DO TWO
FIVES, AND I CAN DO...
Shamus says 14.55 DOLLARS!
Melissa says YOU GOT LUCKY THIS
TIME, SHAMUS.
Shamus says IT'S NOT LUCK.
(music plays)
They keep playing.
Shamus says NEXT MONEY
CHALLENGE.
BACK TO SCHOOL CLOTHES.
76 DOLLARS.
GO.
ONE 50, ONE 20,
ONE 5, ONE LOONIE.
GOT IT, 76 DOLLARS.
Melissa screams.
Melissa says I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU KEEP BEATING ME!
Shamus says BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
COUNTING IN ANY ORDER.
TO MAKE 76 DOLLARS, YOU START
OFF WITH A 50 DOLLAR BILL,
THEN WORK YOUR WAY DOWN
TO THE 20 DOLLAR BILL, AND THEN
THE NEXT SMALLEST
BILL IS...
Melissa says THE FIVE.
AND THEN THE SMALLEST
COIN IS THE LOONIE.
76 DOLLARS.
Shamus says YOU GOT IT.
Melissa says OH, WOW.
HEY, THANKS FOR
THE TIPS, SHAMUS.
I THINK MAYBE NOW I HAVE
A CHANCE OF BEATING YOU.
AND THAT CALLS FOR
A VICTORY MOMENT.
They do a victory dance.
Melissa says NOW I KNOW THAT WHEN I'M
COUNTING MONEY, IT IS SO
MUCH EASIER TO START WITH
THE LARGEST BILL AND WORK
YOUR WAY DOWN TO
THE SMALLEST COIN.
I'M A COUNTING MACHINE.
In the kitchen, Melissa says WELL, SHAMUS,
I'M IMPRESSED.
YOU REALLY GAVE ME A
RUN FOR MY MONEY THERE.
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
RUN, FOR MY MONEY, HA!
Shamus says I THOUGHT I NEEDED
TO PUT MY MONEY
WHERE MY MOUTH IS.
GET IT?
Melissa says YOU MAKE NO
CENTS, SHAMUS.
YASSSS!
Shamus says I'M SO FUNNY.
Copyright 2016, The Ontario Educational Communications Authority.
Andrea says NOW THAT YOU'RE ALL EXPERTS
ON THE VALUES OF COINS
AND THE NAMES OF YOUR COINS,
LET'S HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
A PROBLEM SOLVING CHALLENGE.
She reads "YOU ARE AT THE LAUNDROMAT.
YOU HAVE A TOONIE, BUT
LAUNDRY ONLY COSTS ONE DOLLAR.
WHEN YOU ASK
THE SHOPKEEPER FOR CHANGE,
WHAT COMBINATION
OF COINS MIGHT YOU ASK FOR?"
She says SO, IF WE HAVE A TOONIE AND
OUR LAUNDRY COSTS A DOLLAR,
IT MEANS THAT
WE HAVE TWO DOLLARS.
WE ARE SPENDING ONE DOLLAR.
HOW MUCH MONEY
WOULD WE GET BACK?
IF YOU SAID "ONE DOLLAR,"
YOU ARE RIGHT.
ONE DOLLAR.
NOW, HOW COULD WE ASK
THE SHOPKEEPER TO GIVE US
BACK OUR CHANGE?
IF WE GET ONE DOLLAR IN CHANGE,
WE MIGHT ASK FOR ONE LOONIE.
WHAT OTHER POSSIBLE
COMBINATIONS COULD WE ASK FOR?
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
IF YOU SAID "FOUR QUARTERS,"
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
She draws coins and continues IF EACH OF OUR QUARTERS
IS WORTH 25 CENTS,
AND WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM,
THAT MEANS WE GET
ONE DOLLAR IN CHANGE.
NOW THAT WE'VE FIGURED OUT
TWO POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS
THAT WE MIGHT GET BACK,
ONE LOONIE, OR FOUR QUARTERS,
LET ME POSE A CHALLENGE
FOR YOU TO FIGURE OUT.
HOW MANY DIMES
DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT GET BACK
IF WE GET A DOLLAR IN CHANGE?
HOW ABOUT HOW MANY
NICKELS MIGHT WE GET BACK
IF WE GET A DOLLAR IN CHANGE?
TAKE SOME TIME
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU CAN USE A PIECE OF PAPER,
OR YOU CAN JUST
SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH A PARTNER.
FIGURE OUR HOW MANY DIMES
WOULD GIVE YOU A DOLLAR
AND HOW MANY NICKELS
WOULD GIVE YOU A DOLLAR.
SECOND CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
LET'S TRY THIS ONE TOGETHER.
WHAT COMBINATION OF COINS
COULD YOU USE FOR TWO DOLLARS?
LET'S START OFF TOGETHER.
WELL, WE KNOW
A TOONIE IS TWO DOLLARS,
SO HAVING ONE TOONIE
WOULD GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
WHAT ABOUT LOONIES?
HOW MANY LOONIES WOULD
YOU NEED FOR TWO DOLLARS?
IF YOU SAID "TWO,"
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
NOW THAT WE'VE THOUGHT
OF TWO COMBINATIONS TOGETHER
FOR TWO DOLLARS,
ONE TOONIE AND TWO LOONIES,
I'M GONNA ASK YOU,
"HOW MANY QUARTERS WOULD
WE NEED TO HAVE TWO DOLLARS?"
HOW MANY DIMES WOULD
YOU NEED TO HAVE TWO DOLLARS?
AND, FINALLY, HOW MANY NICKELS
WOULD GIVE YOU TWO DOLLARS?
WORK WITH A PARTNER,
OR ON A PIECE OF PAPER,
OR USE YOUR COMPUTER, AND
FIGURE OUT HOW MANY OF QUARTERS,
DIMES, AND NICKELS, WOULD YOU
NEED TO MAKE TWO DOLLARS.
Agent Olympia is around 10, has long straight brown hair in a ponytail and wears red-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, a red tie and a blue blazer with an Odd Squad badge.
She says MY NAME IS AGENT OLYMPIA.
THIS IS MY PARTNER,
AGENT OTIS.
Agent Otis is around 11, with short straight blond hair and wears a white shirt, red tie and a blue blazer with an Odd Squad badge.
Agent Olympia says THIS IS A POLAR BEAR
IN A SNOWSTORM.
BUT BACK TO OTIS AND ME.
WE WORK FOR
AN ORGANIZATION RUN BY KIDS
THAT INVESTIGATES
ANYTHING STRANGE,
WEIRD, AND ESPECIALLY ODD.
A painting of a lion with a mouse face appears. Then, a picture of an invisible person with a suit and glasses appears.
Olympia says OUR JOB
IS TO PUT THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
Clips show Olympia and Otis with their other team members working and training at the organization.
Olympia says WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR
ODD SQUAD.
A woman on the street says THANKS FOR COMING,
ODD SQUAD.
The Odd Squad badge appears with the caption "Created by Tim McKeon and Adam Peltzman."
The name of the episode reads "Show me the money."
Otis says WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE PROBLEM, MA'AM?
The woman says A COUPLE OF THINGS.
FIRST, MY BRIEFCASE
IS ENORMOUS...
MY CAR TURNED
INTO A RAINBOW...
THE ONLY GOOD THING IS
I FINALLY FOUND
A WEDDING DRESS I LOVE!
EXCEPT... I'M NOT GETTING
MARRIED TO ANYONE.
Olympia says OH, I SEE WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
YOU'RE DREAMING.
The woman says WAIT, THIS IS
ALL A DREAM?
Otis says YUP.
THANKS FOR INCLUDING US IN IT.
Olympia says IF YOU WANNA FIX THIS,
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WAKE UP.
The woman says OH YEAH.
I WILL!
THANKS, ODD SQUAD.
WAIT, CAN
I FLY FIRST?
Otis says HEY, IT'S YOUR DREAM.
The woman blasts off.
(jet engine sound)
Otis says WAIT, IF IT'S HER DREAM,
THEN WHY ARE WE STILL HERE?
Olympia says OH, IT'S ACTUALLY YOUR DREAM.
Otis says OH.
(grunts)
He blasts off.
Olympia says WAIT - IF IT'S HIS DREAM,
THEN WHY AM I...
OH!
Olympia also blasts off.
At the headquarters, Debbie, the pizza delivery girl says OKAY, GUYS,
SO THERE'S ONE LARGE PIZZA.
YOU GUYS NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
LIKE A LITTLE... EDIBLE MAP?
YOU COULD -
YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
OH, GOOGLY GLASSES.
THESE.
ALSO, A CALCULATOR.
NO, NO...
I ALSO HAVE GUM.
Olympia says OOH, I'LL TAKE
SOME GUM.
Debbie says 'KAY.
GUM?
Otis says UGH.
Olympia says YOU DON'T LIKE GUM?
Otis says OF COURSE NOT.
IF YOU'RE GOING
TO CHEW SOMETHING,
IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING USEFUL,
LIKE FOOD.
I WOULD NOT BUY GUM
IF IT MEANT
SAVING THE WORLD.
Olympia says SOMETIMES YOU REMIND ME
OF AN OLD, UPSET MAN.
Debbie says SO...
THAT IS A LARGE PIZZA,
AND THAT'S A GUM.
THAT COMES TO TEN DOLLARS
AND FIVE CENTS.
Otis says HERE'S A TEN DOLLAR BILL,
BUT I DON'T HAVE FIVE CENTS.
Debbie says THAT'S OKAY. IT'S JUST A NICKEL.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
Otis says NO, I INSIST.
WAIT - I SAW SOME
COINS IN THE LAB.
In the lab, they find a display box full of coins.
Olympia says SEEMS LIKE A WEIRD WAY
TO STORE COINS.
Otis says IT'S JUST OSCAR
AND OONA BEING...
WELL...OSCAR AND OONA.
Olympia says THAT'S 25 CENTS,
AND THAT'S TEN CENTS.
Otis says HERE'S A FIVE CENT COIN.
TEN DOLLARS AND FIVE CENTS.
Debbie says THANK YOU,
ODD SQUAD.
Olympia says SHOULD WE HAVE ASKED
BEFORE WE BORROWED MONEY?
Otis says IT'S OSCAR
AND OONA.
THEY WON'T CARE IF
WE TAKE FIVE CENTS...
Oona rushes in and says YOU TOOK FIVE CENTS?!
Olympia says UH, YEAH...
WE GAVE IT TO
DELIVERY DEBBIE
TO BUY PIZZA.
Oona says THAT'S OKAY. YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
(laugh)
Oona says EVERYONE MAKES... MISTAKES!
Otis says HEY, CALM DOWN.
WE'LL PAY YOU BACK.
Oona says IT'S NOT... ABOUT...
THE MONEY!
THESE ARE UNLUCKY COINS!
Olympia says WHAT?
Oona gives her a coin and says HERE, HOLD THIS...
She gives her a mirror and says NOW THIS.
The mirror cracks.
Oona says SEE?
Otis says UNLUCKY!
I'M SORRY, BUT THIS IS
A LITTLE YOUR FAULT, TOO.
Olympia says YEAH, I MEAN, YOU JUST LEFT
THESE COINS OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT.
Otis says YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST HAD,
LIKE, A CAGE WITH LASERS.
Oona says LIKE THIS ONE?
Olympia says THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN HELPFUL, YES.
Otis says YEAH.
Oona says YOU NEED TO FIND THAT COIN
AND PUT IT IN HERE
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
Olympia says YOU MEAN LIKE TOO LATE,
OR MIRRORS WILL KEEP BREAKING?
Oona says OR A METEOR WILL COLLAPSE
INTO THE EARTH,
SPLIT OUR PLANET IN HALF,
AND CAUSE US ALL TO
FLY INTO OUTER SPACE.
Olympia says OKAY...
Otis says WE'RE LEAVING NOW.
Olympia says YEAH.
On the street, Olympia spots Debbie and says THERE SHE IS!
Debbie says OH HEY, YOU GUYS.
I'M HAVING THE WORST DAY.
I CRASHED MY BIKE,
AND THEN I FELL DOWN A CHIMNEY,
AND THEN I LOST MY SHOE,
AND THEN A FALCON
SWOOPED DOWN
AND STOLE MY PIZZA -
WHICH DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE
BECAUSE IT'S NOT FALCON SEASON.
Otis says THIS IS OUR FAULT.
Debbie says WHAT?
Olympia says WE ACCIDENTALLY GAVE YOU
AN UNLUCKY FIVE CENT COIN...
WAIT, WHY ISN'T ANYTHING UNLUCKY
HAPPENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW?
Otis gives Debbie a mirror and says HOLD THAT, PLEASE,
DEBBIE.
Olympia says IT DIDN'T BREAK.
Otis says IS IT POSSIBLE YOU GAVE
THE COIN TO SOMEONE ELSE?
Debbie says SURE, I'VE BEEN GIVING
CUSTOMERS CHANGE ALL DAY.
Otis says WE'LL NEVER FIND IT NOW!
Debbie says NO, WE CAN, BECAUSE I KEEP
A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE
THAT I GAVE CHANGE TO
IN MY POCKET.
MY POCKET FELL OFF.
IT'S OVER THERE.
SEE?
I GAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
25 CENTS CHANGE.
Otis says BUT THEY CAN'T HAVE
THE FIVE CENT COIN
BECAUSE THEY'D HAVE
A 25 CENT COIN.
Debbie says NOT NECESSARILY.
PASS ME MY OTHER POCKET.
YOU SEE,
YOU CAN COMBINE DIFFERENT COINS
TO MAKE DIFFERENT TOTALS.
SO YOU NEED FIVE 5 CENT COINS
TO MAKE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS,
OR TWO TEN CENT COINS,
AND A FIVE CENT COIN
TO MAKE 25 CENTS.
Olympia says SO ANY OF YOUR CUSTOMERS
COULD HAVE IT.
WE SHOULD SPLIT UP.
DEBBIE, WE'LL FIND A WAY
TO MAKE THIS UP TO YOU.
I PROMISE.
Debbie says A SONG WOULD BE NICE.
Otis says WHAT KIND?
Debbie says A JAZZ FUSION SONG.
Olympia says CAN WE PUT IT
IN THE MONTAGE
OF US SEARCHING FOR
THE UNLUCKY COIN?
Debbie says ABSOLUTELY!
Olympia plays the piano and Otis plays the saxophone for Debbie.
Then they go around looking for the unlucky coin.
Otis looks in someone's pocket and says NO FIVE CENT COIN.
Olympia looks in another customer's purse and says NO FIVE CENT COIN.
Otis checks on a third customer and says NOT A FIVE CENT COIN.
Olympia says DEBBIE SAID THE LAST
TIME SHE GAVE CHANGE
WAS TO SOME
JUNIOR GIRL TROOPERS.
At the troopers' headquarters, they find all the girl troopers injured.
Olympia says I THINK WE FOUND IT.
Otis says THERE'S THE TROOP LEADER.
The troop leader says ODD SQUAD!
SOMETHING...
ODD IS HAPPENING.
UM, USUALLY MY GIRLS
ARE SAFE AND CAREFUL,
BUT IT HAS JUST BEEN
DISASTER AFTER DISASTER!
Otis says WE THINK YOUR TROOP HAS COME
IN CONTACT WITH AN UNLUCKY COIN.
IT ESCAPED FROM
OUR LAB THIS MORNING.
The troop leader says YOU ACCIDENTALLY
GAVE IT AWAY, DIDN'T YOU?
Olympia says HOW DID YOU -
The troop leader says "READING BETWEEN
THE LINES" BADGE.
Olympia says IF WE COULD JUST
SEARCH THE AREA...
The troop leader says BY ALL MEANS.
I'LL BE OVER HERE,
HELPING THE GIRLS EARN
THEIR GUM-CHEWING BADGE.
I'M KINDA THE EXPERT.
The troop leader puts a piece of gum in her mouth as she looks at herself in a mirror.
Olympia says OTIS, LOOK.
Otis says I CAN'T...
IT'S SO WET AND RUBBERY.
Olympia says NOT THE GUM!
THE MIRROR!
IT ISN'T BREAKING.
Otis says SO THE COIN CAN'T
BE HERE ANY MORE.
The troop leader says OH MY KERCHIEF!
TROOP LEADER BETSY
MUST HAVE IT!
WE SOLD COOKIES TODAY,
AND BETSY WAS TAKING
ALL THAT MONEY TO THE BANK!
Olympia says IF IT GOES
TO THE BANK,
IT'LL GET MIXED IN
WITH TONS OF OTHER COINS.
WE'LL NEVER GET IT BACK!
Otis says DO YOU KNOW WHICH BANK?
The troop leader says NO,
BUT I HAVE AN IDEA...
MOLLY!
Molly says HO!
The troop leader says MOLLY JUST GOT HER
TRACKING BADGE.
THIS IS TROOP LEADER
BETSY'S VEST.
GET THE SCENT, GIRL.
YOU'VE GOT THE SCENT, GIRL?
YOU'VE GOT IT?
Molly says GOT IT!
The troop leader says WELL?
FOLLOW HER!
The agents follow Molly.
The troop leader says OKAY, GIRLS,
MAKE A SHELTER!
Molly says SHE'S CLOSE...
THERE!
Sitting under a tree, Troop Leader Betsy says OH, MOLLY,
ODD SQUAD...
I HAVE HAD
THE WORST DAY!
I GOT CHASED
BY A FALCON.
Olympia says IT'S NOT EVEN
FALCON SEASON!
Otis says MA'AM, THIS IS GOING
TO SOUND STRANGE,
BUT WE NEED TO SEARCH
YOUR CHANGE PURSE.
Betsy says OKAY.
Olympia says TWENTY-FIVE CENT COIN,
TEN CENT COIN...
NO FIVE CENT COIN!
DID YOU BUY ANYTHING
ON THE WAY TO THE BANK?
Betsy says OH, JUST SOME PRETZELS FROM
THAT VENDING MACHINE OVER THERE.
(foreboding music plays)
The vending machine has a black thunderous cloud over it.
Olympia says UH, I HAVE A FEELING
THE COIN IS INSIDE.
Otis says IS IT BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTNING
AND THE SCARY NOISES?
Olympia says YEAH, THAT WAS IT.
(loud thunder)
Rain pours over the vending machine.
Otis says I REFUSE
TO BE BEATEN!
I EAT BAD LUCK
FOR BREAKFAST!
Otis says IT WON'T OPEN!
Olympia says BUY A SNACK!
Otis says GOOD IDEA!
SOMETHING HEALTHY
TO GIVE US ENERGY!
Olympia says NO, I MEAN SOMETHING
THAT WILL GIVE YOU
A FIVE CENT COIN AS CHANGE!
Otis says I HAVE THREE
TWENTY-FIVE CENT COINS.
SO THAT'S 25, 50, 75 CENTS.
AND YOU HAVE ONE MORE,
SO THAT'S ONE DOLLAR.
(falcons screeching)
Olympia says THE FALCONS ARE COMING!
I'LL HOLD THEM BACK.
SHIELDS UP!
(loud war cry)
(screeching)
Otis says IF I WANT CHANGE,
I NEED TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT COSTS LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR
SO THE MACHINE HAS TO
GIVE ME MONEY BACK.
Otis says A GRANOLA BAR
IS 70 CENTS.
Otis inserts coins in the slot and says TWENTY-FIVE CENTS,
FIFTY CENTS,
SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS...
ONE DOLLAR.
Otis says THIRTY CENTS CHANGE!
ARGH!
THREE TEN CENT COINS!
Olympia says YOU NEED TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT WILL GIVE YOU BACK
THE FIVE CENT COIN
IN CHANGE!
Otis says I REALIZE THAT NOW!
OKAY, I HAVE THREE
TEN CENT COINS,
SO THAT'S TEN, TWENTY,
THIRTY CENTS.
IF I WANT THE MACHINE
TO GIVE ME FIVE CENTS BACK,
I NEED TO BUY SOMETHING
THAT COSTS FIVE CENTS
LESS THAN THIRTY CENTS.
TWENTY-NINE,
TWENTY-EIGHT,
TWENTY-SEVEN, TWENTY-SIX...
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS...
WHAT COSTS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS?
NOOO!
NOT THE GUM!
(loud thunderclap)
Olympia says BAD LUCK IS GETTING WORSE!
Olympia says HURRY, OTIS,
OR THE WORLD WILL END!
Otis says BUT GUM GOES AGAINST
EVERYTHING I STAND FOR!
Olympia says SERIOUSLY?!
Otis says ARGH!
TEN CENTS!
TWENTY CENTS!
THIRTY CENTS!
THE FIVE CENT COIN!
OLYMPIA!
He tosses the coin to Olympia and she catches it in the box Oona gave her.
(triumphant music plays)
(angelic choir)
Olympia says THE FALCONS
ARE GONE.
NICE JOB,
PARTNER.
PARTNER?
Otis makes a blows a gum bubble and says I NEVER KNEW ABOUT
THE BLOWING BUBBLES PART.
NOW I GET IT.
Olympia says WE HAVE TO GET THIS
BACK TO HEADQUARTERS
BEFORE ANYTHING
ELSE HAPPENS.
WHICH WAY IS IT?
Molly says I SMELL THE WAY.
FOLLOW ME!
The Odd Squad badge appears as a caption reads "Odd Squad Training Video number 9: How to deal with a tiggle or a taggle."
Oscar stands next to two similar green creatures and says HEY, GUYS.
THE FIRST STEP TO DEALING
WITH A TIGGLE OR A TAGGLE
IS TO FIND OUT IF YOU'RE
LOOKING AT A TIGGLE OR A TAGGLE.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
THEY HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
(critter noises)
Oscar says BUT WE CAN USE A CHART TO SEE
IF THERE ARE ANY DIFFERENCES.
THEY BOTH HAVE
SIX EYES,
FOUR LEGS,
TWO ARMS...
HOLD ON.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ANTENNAE,
THE TIGGLE HAS TWO ANTENNAE
BUT A TAGGLE HAS THREE.
THAT'S HOW THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
SINCE THIS MONSTER
HAS TWO ANTENNAE,
THAT MAKES HIM
A TIGGLE.
WHICH IS QUITE FORTUNATE,
BECAUSE IF IT WAS A TAGGLE,
IT WOULD'VE EATEN ME BY NOW.
Oscar says NOT THIS GUY.
HE'S ADORABLE.
The tiggle purrs.
Oscar says THE OTHER WAY TO FIND OUT
IS TO ASK THEM TO SING.
TIGGLE HAS
A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
(beautiful singing voice)
Oscar says BUT A TAGGLE HAS
A HORRIBLE VOICE.
The taggle sings.
(obnoxious, loud braying)
Oscar says THEY'RE BOTH
EXCELLENT DANCERS.
He joins the creatures in their dance.
In her office, Miss O shows a video game and says THERE YOU ARE.
SOMETHING VERY ODD HAS HAPPENED.
YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU,
WITH THE RECENT HAIRCUT.
IT LOOKS GREAT.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
THESE CUTE, FUZZY CREATURES
ARE CALLED CENTIGURPS,
AND ODD SQUAD HEADQUARTERS
IS FULL OF THEM!
HELP US CAPTURE
ALL THE CENTIGURPS
SO WE CAN GET BACK
TO SOLVING CASES.
GO TO TVOKIDS.COM
TO JOIN ODD SQUAD
AND HELP US CATCH
THE CENTIGURPS.
ODD SQUAD NEEDS YOU!

Andrea says HI, EVERYONE.
WELCOME BACK.
SO I HOPE YOU GOT TO WORK
A LITTLE BIT ON THE CHALLENGE
AS TO HOW MANY QUARTERS, HOW
MANY DIMES, AND HOW MANY NICKELS
YOU WOULD NEED
TO GIVE YOU TWO DOLLARS.
SO, LET'S DO
A LITTLE BIT OF REVIEW AGAIN.
SO, WHEN WE ORIGINALLY
POSTED THAT QUESTION,
WE WORKED ON THE TOONIE
AND THE LOONIE TOGETHER.
SO, IF WE GET TWO DOLLARS,
THE COMBINATION OF TOONIES
WE WOULD GET IS ONE.
'CAUSE ONE TOONIE
IS TWO DOLLARS.
AND, WE ALSO CAME UP TOGETHER
THAT IF WE HAD LOONIES,
THEN WE WOULD NEED TWO LOONIES,
BECAUSE TWO LOONIES
IS ALSO TWO DOLLARS.
NOW, THE NEXT SET OF QUESTIONS
ARE THE QUESTIONS
I ASKED YOU TO WORK ON.
HOW MANY QUARTERS WOULD
WE NEED TO GET TWO DOLLARS?
SO HOW MANY QUARTERS
WOULD THAT BE?
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A MOMENT TO THINK.
COUNT UP THE QUARTERS THAT
YOU DREW AND WHAT DID YOU GET?
IF YOU SAID EIGHT,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
FOUR QUARTERS EQUALS A DOLLAR.
SO, THEREFORE,
EIGHT QUARTERS IS TWO DOLLARS.
SO, WE WOULD NEED EIGHT QUARTERS
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
LET'S DRAW
EIGHT QUARTERS TOGETHER.
She draws the coins and continues AND THERE WE HAVE
OUR EIGHT QUARTERS.
SO, EIGHT QUARTERS
GIVES US TWO DOLLARS.
NOW, HOW MANY DIMES
WOULD WE NEED FOR TWO DOLLARS?
QUITE A FEW I THINK.
SO, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A SECOND TO COUNT THEM UP HERE.
HOW MANY DIMES DO YOU NEED?
IF YOU SAID 20 DIMES,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE WOULD NEED 20 DIMES
TO HAVE TWO DOLLARS.
HOW MANY DIMES DID I DRAW HERE?
LET'S COUNT JUST TO SEE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, 10.
SO, I DREW 10 DIMES.
THAT GIVES US ONE DOLLAR.
WELL, I NEED TWO DOLLARS.
SO HOW MANY MORE DIMES
DO I NEED TO DRAW?
IF YOU SAID 10 MORE,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
LET'S STOP HERE
AND SEE HOW MANY I DREW
JUST TO MAKE SURE
I DREW ENOUGH,
OR I DIDN'T DRAW TOO MANY.
ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX,
SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10.
SO THAT'S ONE DOLLAR.
I NEED TO DRAW 10 MORE DIMES.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.
THAT'S 80 CENTS.
I'M A LITTLE SHORT.
HOW MANY MORE DIMES
DO I NEED TO DRAW?
THAT'S RIGHT.
TWO MORE DIMES.
AND THERE WE HAVE IT.
20 DIMES.
20 DIMES WOULD
GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
NOW, YOU MIGHT START TO SEE
THAT WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF A PATTERN HERE.
AS THE VALUE
OF OUR MONEY GETS SMALLER,
WE NEED MORE OF THE COINS
TO GIVE US THE SAME AMOUNT.
WE ONLY NEEDED ONE TOONIE
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS,
TWO LOONIES
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS,
EIGHT QUARTERS
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS,
AND 20 DIMES
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
SO, HOW MANY NICKELS
DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT NEED
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS?
MORE THAN 20?
YES, BECAUSE A NICKEL IS ONLY
WORTH HALF AS MUCH AS A DIME.
SO WE NEED DOUBLE THAT.
SO, WE NEED, IF YOU SAID 40,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE WOULD NEED 40 NICKELS
TO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
LET'S GET DRAWING.
LET'S SEE
HOW MANY NICKELS WE DREW.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT, NINE, 10.
SO, I DREW 10 NICKELS.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER HOW MANY
NICKELS WE NEEDED TO DRAW
TO GET TWO DOLLARS?
40.
SO, IF I DREW 10, THAT MEANS
I NEED TO DRAW 30 MORE NICKELS.
LET'S KEEP DRAWING.
OKAY, WE HAVE 20 NICKELS.
WE'RE HALFWAY THERE.
20 MORE TO GO.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE.
10, 20, 30.
30 NICKELS.
10 MORE.
OUR LAST 10.
LET'S SEE HOW MANY I DREW
AT THE BOTTOM LINE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.
TWO MORE NICKELS.
AND THERE WE GO!
40 NICKELS.
40 NICKELS EQUALS TWO DOLLARS.
SO, LET'S GO BACK
AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF A REVIEW.
WHAT COMBINATION OF COINS
WOULD GIVE YOU TWO DOLLARS?
WELL, WE COULD HAVE ONE TOONIE.
THAT WOULD GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
TWO LOONIES, THAT WOULD
ALSO GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
EIGHT QUARTERS
WOULD GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
20 DIMES WOULD ALSO
GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
AND FINALLY,
IF WE DREW OUT 40 NICKELS,
THAT WOULD ALSO
GIVE US TWO DOLLARS.
WOW.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW, BEFORE
I HAVE TO SAY BYE TO YOU,
I HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF A CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
THERE IS A NEW COIN THAT
THE CANADIAN MINT IS CREATING
AND IT'S WORTH 50 CENTS.
MY QUESTION TO YOU,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS
AND BE CREATIVE HERE.
WHAT WOULD YOU NAME
THIS 50 CENT COIN?
SO, WE ALREADY HAVE A TOONIE,
A LOONIE, A QUARTER,
A NICKEL AND A DIME.
WHAT SHOULD WE NAME
THIS NEW 50 CENT COIN?
She concludes TAKE SOME TIME
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
SHARE IT WITH YOUR PARTNER.
SHARE IT WITH YOUR CLASSMATES,
OR SOMEONE ELSE AT YOUR HOME,
AND LET'S COME UP WITH
SOME VERY CREATIVE NAMES.
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU
FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
IT WAS SUCH A JOY TO SEE
ALL OF YOU AND BE WITH YOU.
MY NAME IS TEACHER ANDREA,
AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE YOU ALL OF YOU AGAIN
AT THE NEXT
POWER HOUR.
BYE FOR NOW!
(music plays)
A final slate reads "TVO Kids would like to thank all the teachers involved in the Power Hour of Learning as they continue to teach the children of Ontario from their homes."
