Junior Maths - Counting - Part 1

[leigh0vj]

What we need is a celebrity who remembers Marching Squares to start a campaign!

Desperately seeking "marching squares" animation from Junior Maths children's TV program of the 80s; it and its music were hypnotic.

@leigh0vj Seconded! It's one of my strong memories from sick days from school. I'd love to see it again.

@leigh0vj I've been looking for that Marching Squares for years. Only my mate and I remember it as no one else remembers it. I remember watching it at school about 1984 time.

Would love to see it again and hear the sargeant major shouting and the army guys whistling!

If you find it please, please let me know.

Many thanks

"Now THIS is a calculator!" "You're joking!"......patronising twats!

[mistofoles]

So what was that first lesson supposed to teach us? How to express seperate figures as a singular one?

[mistofoles]

Did that German woman say "Sex, semen"??

The music playing during the "can you count the dots on the screen" from 3:35 to 4:17 is really scarey

[Diamondblade2008]

Too-tea nine?!?! Don't you mean TWENTY-nine?

[DavidXNewton]

@Diamondblade2008 Their insistence on calling twenty and thirty "two-ty" and "three-ty" was a mystery to me as well - I still have no idea why they did it.

[mistofoles]

What a crap band!

[mistofoles]

OKaaayy...so we watched everybody counting to 10 in their own language, not quite sure what the point here was supposed to be..

What a great bit of nostalgia for the likes of me! Have you got a copy of Junior Maths when Mary was discussing Magic Squares?
